"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.

#BeforeThecoffeeGetsColdTalesFromTheCafe by #ToshikazuKawaguchi mini spoiler free book review.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Tales from the Café (Before the Coffee Gets Cold, #2)Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Tales from the Café by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I really liked both of these books. It's a lovely concept of using a quaint and unique coffee shop to travel in time to meet a loved one whilst having to obey a very strict set of rules.

For some reason, this second entry I found more difficult to get through. It didn't grab me quite as firmly as the first and felt more difficult to read. I occasionally wondered if this was down to translation or whether it's just too similar to the first.

In any case, the stories are still sad, heart warming, frustrating and emotive and it's worth it for the entirely original concept alone.
