From What I Once Was<\/em><\/p>\n

By: Neverending White Lights<\/p>\n

Sometimes, in the depths of depression when you feel that your life is at its worst, the only short-term remedy seems to be an ultra-sad song that you listen to on repeat. That sense of inescapable, repetitive melancholy perfectly encapsulates my relationship with this song. However, instead of digressing into a morose, autobiographical anecdote, I’m going to talk about Neverending White Lights.<\/p>\n

I seem to have a thing for one-man armies, as evidenced by my interest in bands like CellDweller<\/a>. Like CellDweller, Daniel Victor plays all the instruments and writes the music. However, the real genius is that most Neverending White Lights songs feature a guest singer, yet the albums retain an intended sense of unity, and it all sounds like it was produced by one ‘band’. Some of my favourite artists have collaborated with Daniel Victor, including Raine Maida and Dallas Green.<\/p>\n

\"Raine

…and this is why musicians get all the ladies<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve also spoken before about my jones for concept albums<\/a>. Neverending White Lights represents a culmination of concepts – one theme, a unifying sound and many artists. Heck, the albums are even referred to as ‘Act 1’ ‘Act 2’ and ‘Act 3’…<\/p>\n

I urge you to give Neverending White Lights a listen. The first album, pictured above, got me through a tough time. Just don’t expect a lot of happy tunes in there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
