Stars and Galaxies - In the Dark, Pt. II by Michael Day published on 2021-07-26T02:57:12Z ‘Stars and Galaxies – In the Dark Part 2’ is a reflection of Day’s experiences dealing with his own flaws and an admission of His wrong doing. It is also a wrestle with the wrong done against Him. It’s a realisation that all He can do is apologise and nothing can change the wrong He has caused. And it poses the question ‘how do we reconcile with people who have hurt us?’ While never answering its questions, ‘Stars and Galaxies – In the Dark Part 2’ can be summed up as an apology. Day combines his classical guitar methodology with His contemporary writing to create a piece which hints at a romanza and echoes a spacey folk ballad. The acoustic guitar is the predominant feature at the start of the piece, however, it is soon overshadowed by the echoed electric guitars and the ambient banjo part, although still holding much of the feel. A lot of the track is an instrumental, representing an apology which is acknowledging of it’s wrongs while not using many words to try and ‘right its’ wrong’. This gives the piece it’s reflective nature and a longing to ponder its’ deeds. Much like the previous song ‘Hands of Mine – In the Dark Part 1’, the melodies within this track are motifs of the works around it. The outro from ‘Part 1’ is echoed in the instrumental of this track. Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
