Monsters - In the Dark, Pt. III by Michael Day published on 2021-07-28T07:00:09Z ‘Monsters – In the Dark Part 3’ is the brightest and most upbeat track of the In the Dark Single release by Michael Day. It can be viewed as a light at the end of a tunnel. A joyous reconciliation or a warm hug from a friend you’ve previously hurt. ‘Part 3’ is about finding joy in the reuniting of friends, people and the ones we’ve wronged. It suggests seeking selfish gain will see us hurt the people around us but holds onto the hope of restoration when we do hurt the people we love. ‘Part 3’ is heavily driven by the acoustic guitar, with a pumping bass guitar and a relentless snare presently in the background. The vocals have been modelled to mirror a Josh Pyke tune, keeping the vocals the focal point of the piece. Vocal harmonies are also present, especially towards the climax of the piece, supporting the continued call of the chorus ‘Monsters that I made’. Each Pre-Chorus has an echo of the instrumental from the previous piece, giving a space to consider the relationship between apology and reconciliation. While no solution is expressed, admission of wrong is a definite call of ‘Monsters – In the Dark Part 3’. Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
