Delivering his one-of-a-kind style and voice into the world of music, Tom Woods is back with his brand-new single, “Color of the Darkness”. This track opens with a vibrant acoustic guitar melody that quickly leads into Tom’s exotic lyrics. A calming yet trippy adventure, many soundscapes are layered on throughout, such as dreamy synths and soft sequences of the piano. These instrumental components are the optimal background to Tom’s infectious vocals, which take center stage across “Color of the Darkness”.
Beyond the mesmerizing auditory side of “Color of the Darkness”, the song has a deeper underlying message as well. Speaking on the indie anthem, Tom says, “’Color of the Darkness’ is about my relationship with my sister. Though not biologically twins, the two-year age gap between us meant we grew up side by side. As we get older and move to different cities, I still want to be there for her at every stage of her life. The song describes the experience of feeling distant from her and her struggles, both physically and emotionally,” The track’s powerful theme is something we all can relate to, being separated from someone who we share a strong connection with.
Although the “Color of the Darkness” is just a bit over two minutes, Tom manages to forge a dense mixture of lofi chill pop and folk music that defies the standard boundaries of genre. Be on the lookout for Tom as he promises to keep on testing the limits of musical creativity through his originals.
