“Sometimes the Darkness Takes the Lead” is the first single by Old Reverend Randell. It was written in the middle of bouts with chronic pain and anxiety. Sitting in the pews at church he often found the songs sung to be triggering. The songs seemed to make light of pain (if mentioned at all) by quickly jumping ahead to new life, blessings and eternal good times. Randell craved a song that acknowledged the darkness and pain he was experiencing in the here and now without celebrating it. There is something sacred about acknowledging the dark times and sitting with someone in it. Maybe the darkness won’t win in the end but it definitely sometimes takes the lead.
Watch for Old Reverend Randell’s debut EP entitled “4-track Gospel” to be released in early 2024.
