"From out of the dark"

From Out Of The Dark

From out of the dark is a collection of 6 songs finished during the infamous Covid lockdown of 2020, drawing musical influences from many different genres and based on different themes close to my heart.

Some with a narrative, others about how I felt a particular junction in life, playing music, writing and recording songs has been a great outlet for me and helped me deal with and express myself in a productive fashion.

With no single genre over the six songs I decided to put them out as From out of the dark, to show how something good can come from the darkness. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making them.

I appreciate so much all the friends and family who have helped critique these tracks ready for public consumption. Thanks also to my younger sister, Hannah, for providing her vocal talents and lyric writing on two of the songs.

#LetsExploreDiabetesWithOwls by David Sedaris mini spoiler free book review

Let's Explore Diabetes with OwlsLet's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Anyone new to David Sedaris might be a little bewildered with the bizarre collection of essays from his eerie, wonderful and eclectic life.

From making friends with alcoholics on long distance trains, to seeking a rare stuffed owl and being introduced instead to stuffed human body parts and finishing on his delightful experience of a colonoscopy, Sedaris has a unique ability to make even the most surreal into witty musings, his insights often deep and unexpected. His talent for putting pen to paper makes these short stories typically easy to read and my only complaint is that there are not more of them.

Maybe not a good start for someone new to his weirdness, but definitely a great read for someone who knows a little more of what to expect...
