“I See You within the Darkish (Alt)” – DD Allen
I see at midnight, and also you’re coming my approach…
* * *
Ripples of uncooked ardour and pure vitality radiate all through DD Allen’s newest EP.
It’s a daring transfer to label your self a Insurgent Hero, and but one can’t assist however root for the British singer/songwriter as he winds his approach via six spirited songs, navigating every thing from love and loss to freedom, brotherhood, and the promise that accompanies a brand new day. Autobiographical and achingly human, Allen’s candid performances converse to our most human experiences and instincts, and nowhere does this resonate with extra fact (or depth) than on the EP’s opening observe: An electrical, invigorating anthem of hope and renewal, “I See You within the Darkish” soars with grace and gusto as DD Allen finds closure in his previous and chance in his future.
Between the ocean and the Metropolis
Is our hometown
She buys a costume it seems to be so fairly
She seems to be round
He sees the mud within the solar rays
Of his sorrow
He’s pirouetting via the subways
Of tomorrow
It’s a world like no different for the brother
that stands by your aspect
But it surely’s one for the cash
and two for the waves that we journey
Atwood Journal is proud to be premiering “I See You within the Darkish (different model),” the fiery opening salvo off DD Allen’s recently-released Insurgent Hero EP. A roaring remake of Allen’s 2020 single (of the identical identify), the “different model” is bolder, louder, and maybe a bit rowdier than the unique, with contemporary manufacturing and a brand new lead guitar line including much more depth and dramatic flare to Allen’s second of reckoning and resolve.
The songwriter involves a fever pitch within the observe’s refrain, his pent-up feelings spilling over right into a cathartic, fascinating, and all-consuming climax:
You left too quickly
You’ll be again sometime
I see at midnight,
and also you’re coming my approach
I don’t know the place to look
I don’t know what to say
I see you at midnight,
and also you’re coming my approach
“When relationships come to an finish, you’re left with recollections and the pictures you see each time you shut your eyes,” Allen tells Atwood Journal. “For some folks, there’s at all times hope it’ll change sooner or later; hope is a robust factor. That’s ‘I See You in The Darkish.’ It’s from a tremendous a part of my life.”
“We created this model of the track with extra drive and momentum. As time goes by, you realise it’s time to push ahead, and I needed the vitality within the track to mirror that.”
There’s actually a little bit of irony that Allen dug into his ‘previous’ oeuvre so as soldier forward, however the outcome speaks for itself – and we applaud an artist who’s prepared to tinker and toy with their very own works. “I See You within the Darkish (alt)” is galvanizing and gritty, relenting and radiant; a stadium-sized rock anthem constructed on the timeless pillars which have helped push people ‘onward and upward’ for hundreds of years. With each ending, there comes a brand new starting; the story isn’t over simply because the gamers, and even the stage, has modified.
Allen sings this fact the life as soon as extra, accompanied by pounding drums, charged guitars, and an unassailable religion within the mysterious methods of the world. The result’s an altogether charming, smile-inducing seduction able to be savored, celebrated, and spun on repeat.
I hear the echoes on the again streets
It’s all about wealth
The place all of the wasted fill the again seats
Of life itself
What I’d to do have her again once more
Simply to kiss her
My love she will’t see via the rain
And I miss her
It’s a world like no different for the brother
that stands by your aspect
But it surely’s one for the cash
and two for the waves that we journey
You left too quickly
You’ll be again sometime
I see at midnight,
and also you’re coming my approach
I don’t know the place to look
I don’t know what to say
I see you at midnight,
and also you’re coming my approach
One of the best a part of all? This track is only one of six stunners off the newly-released Insurgent Hero.
“Lockdown performed an enormous half in Insurgent Hero – determined occasions managing collective despair, melancholy and drink,” Allen admits. “However amid the boredom, anxiousness and uncertainty, I discovered inspiration in Huey Morgan’s e book Insurgent Heroes – these tales concerning the renegades of yesteryear like Jimi, Janis, Cassie Elliot, and Amy offered an escape. I began to determine what it’s prefer to worth freedom, love, camaraderie, hope, and nostalgia. The report is de facto me presenting these human feelings again to listeners; I hope it passes on that sense of what it’s to be human.”

Forty licks shirt
Tracks within the dust
Morning chilly wind whistling
He flips a coin to determine what he’s
Whereas she dances on the ragged edges
Simply to really feel one thing
You left too quickly
You’ll be again sometime
I see at midnight,
and also you’re coming my approach
I don’t know the place to look
I don’t know what to say
I see you at midnight
and also you’re coming my approach
