The Great Depression is the fifth album from Christian rock band Blindside. It is their first album for DRT Entertainment. The album was largely influenced by a trip to Africa that their lead singer, Christian, had underwent. He was very unsettled by his experience and the things he saw influenced the album immensely.[citation needed] The song "Yemkela" was written about a young African boy he met on his trip.[citation needed] The boy had AIDS and had less than two months to live. However, in a recent interview, Christian Lindskog revealed that on a recent tour in South Africa, he had met up with Yemkela. To Christian's surprise, he was doing well and watched Blindside perform his song and sang along.
