Songs Best Sung in the Dark

There are songs best sung in the dark
Around midnight when things seem a little softer around the edges
More malleable, more willing to listen, more potent in dimly lit rooms

There are songs best sung in the winter
Lamplit rooms surrounded by a snowy landscape hold more comfort than normal evenings
Music travels farther and with more purpose across the fresh evening snow

There are songs best sung alone
In the quiet spaces of bedrooms and hallways
The serenity of solitude and the careful moments of reflection

There are songs best sung to an audience
The energy full and moving, a vivid moment frozen in time
A glittering, glowing dance meant to be danced together

There are songs best sung to the moon
Out under the stars in big open spaces
Circled round a campfire, a single spot of warmth in a night chilled landscape
There are songs best sung in the dark
