“I See You within the Darkish (Alt)” – DD Allen
I see at the hours of darkness, and also you’re coming my means…
* * *
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 means by means of six spirited songs, navigating the whole lot 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 monitor: 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 appears to be like so fairly
She appears to be like round
He sees the mud within the solar rays
Of his sorrow
He’s pirouetting by means of the subways
Of tomorrow
It’s a world like no different for the brother
that stands by your aspect
However it’s one for the cash
and two for the waves that we trip
Atwood Journal is proud to be premiering “I See You within the Darkish (various 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 “various 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 monitor’s refrain, his pent-up feelings spilling over right into a cathartic, charming, and all-consuming climax:
You left too quickly
You’ll be again sometime
I see at the hours of darkness,
and also you’re coming my means
I don’t know the place to look
I don’t know what to say
I see you at the hours of darkness,
and also you’re coming my means
“When relationships come to an finish, you’re left with reminiscences and the photographs you see each time you shut your eyes,” Allen tells Atwood Journal. “For some individuals, there’s at all times hope it’ll change at some point; hope is a strong factor. That’s ‘I See You in The Darkish.’ It’s from an incredible 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 wished the vitality within the track to replicate that.”
There’s definitely a little bit of irony that Allen dug into his ‘previous’ oeuvre so as soldier forward, however the end result 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 be able to’t see by means of the rain
And I miss her
It’s a world like no different for the brother
that stands by your aspect
However it’s one for the cash
and two for the waves that we trip
You left too quickly
You’ll be again sometime
I see at the hours of darkness,
and also you’re coming my means
I don’t know the place to look
I don’t know what to say
I see you at the hours of darkness,
and also you’re coming my means
The very best a part of all? This track is only one of six stunners off the newly-released Insurgent Hero.
“Lockdown performed a giant half in Insurgent Hero – determined instances managing collective despair, melancholy and drink,” Allen admits. “However amid the boredom, nervousness and uncertainty, I discovered inspiration in Huey Morgan’s guide Insurgent Heroes – these tales concerning the renegades of yesteryear like Jimi, Janis, Cassie Elliot, and Amy supplied an escape. I began to determine what it’s wish to worth freedom, love, camaraderie, hope, and nostalgia. The report is actually 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 the hours of darkness,
and also you’re coming my means
I don’t know the place to look
I don’t know what to say
I see you at the hours of darkness
and also you’re coming my means
