Eliza Gilkyson - Dark Night of the Soul

Описание: Twice Grammy-nominated folksinger Eliza Gilkyson releases the first single titled “Dark Night of The Soul” from her latest recording, Dark Ages, on the Realiza Records label due out in Spring of 2025. The song had started out originally as a celebration of a potential Harris win but morphed quickly after the election into an upbeat call to resist and stay in the fight for justice and democracy in the days and years to come. The single will be released in sync with the ushering in of the Trump regime, and Eliza’s goal is to inspire a like-minded, concerned community to not despair, to “keep the light on, vow to fight on, through the dark night of the soul.”

"I think we collectively plunged into a dark place with these election results, and I am reminded of the historical "Dark Ages" when culture and consciousness were supposedly in decline.  Historians are more likely to think nowadays that it was a time of collective regrouping from which new thought was born over time. It may be the same for us now. Let's hope we emerge from this current dark time with new ideas about how to repair our systems and go forward into the creation of a better world. We simply must pull ourselves together and stay sentient and useful so that we are prepared and capable of handling the present and imagining the future. I hope Dark Ages reflects my commitment to that vision and inspires others to do the same." - Eliza
