When We Were Strangers

Little Scream “Dark Dance”

“Dark Dance” is essentially about the private moments of clarity and joy we can have quite suddenly, which you can never plan for but can have the power to entirely shift the focus of your life. In this case it’s dancing alone in the dark, but it could be anything, really. The sound of this track tilts between haziness and ecstasy, and approximates this very specific late night feeling of being both exhausted and totally wired at the same time. The beauty of that sensation is in connecting two very different states of being — the mind relaxing and fading into dream, and being so alert that your mind is just racing. It’s the best of both worlds, really, and maybe the easiest state to be in to have a random epiphany.
