about
A dark electro-pop/ synth-pop song written against the background of an oppressive mood facing war and human self-destruction out in our world.
lyrics
Are you proud to go
When they tell you so
Right until you're gone
You will never know
Where it leads you on
Under falling skies
So much fear and cries
Every now and then
Would you cut the ties
To hold on again
When we all fell silent
- Hear the rain pour down
Will there be a sound?
- And the rain pours down
No man is an island
- Hear the rain pour down
Are you still around?
The fire's burning low
While in the afterglow
When all shadows blur
Feel the undertow
As it will recur
When we all fell silent
- Hear the rain pour down
Will there be a sound?
- And the rain pours down
No man is an island
- Hear the rain pour down
Are you still around?
- Hear the rain pour down
- Hear the rain pour down
When we all fell silent
- Hear the rain pour down
Will there be a sound?
- And the rain pours down
No man is an island
- Hear the rain pour down
Are you still around?

Probably one of the biggest surprises to me was finding out about BlakLight by just browsing. Very reminiscent of groups like Depeche mode. Has a nice, classic sound with modern additions sprinkled in, and definitely worth a buy. Jet Stromfield
This LP tells the story of a witch, a pair of magic gloves, & an enormous shark via wonderfully surreal electronic songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 9, 2021
Bouncy electro-funk from the UK with a nostalgic synth palette and an experimental, slightly off-kilter approach to songwriting. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 7, 2020
