Hands of Mine - In the Dark, Pt I by Michael Day published on 2021-07-26T02:55:35Z ‘Hands of Mine – In the Dark Part 1’ is the first track on Michael Day’s up coming 3-track single release. ‘Hands of Mine’ explores our faults and flaws asking the timeless question ‘Am I worth anything?’. The first track on the release, and also the darkest track, has an eyrie sense of hopelessness stumbling through a valley of darkness and depression. It reflects on Day’s own anxieties, and struggles with His own wrongs and low self-worth, compelling the listener to contemplate their own life and short-comings. ‘Hands of Mine’ is a tapestry of ambient guitars, haunting vocal harmonies and moody vibes to match the lyrical content. With influences such as Mumford and Sons and Josh Pyke, ‘Hands of Mine’ is somewhat of a folky ballad with sparkly electric guitars and driving acoustics. The melodies within this first track, set up the future tracks so the listener is already familiar with the melodies to come. For example, the intro is a motif of the Chorus in the third track. Or, the outro is a motif of the second track’s instrumental. Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
