The Darkest Night is the most personal song I’ve ever written.
Last summer, I lost someone close to me. Someone I saw every day, laughed with, learned from… someone who had so much around him. It was a lot to take in, and it stayed with me.
This song came from trying to make sense of that.
It talks about how fragile life can be. How things can look okay on the outside, even when they’re not. And the thoughts that follow… the confusion, the questions, the feeling that maybe you could’ve done more.
I wrote this in honour of him, and for anyone who’s ever lost someone and had to carry that weight.
