Darkerside by David Kushner

On August 30th, multi-platinum singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist David Kushner released his epic, autobiographical, 17-song full-length debut, The Dichotomy, via Miserable Music Group. The project tells the story of his own spiritual, philosophical, and ultimately musical odyssey. The album takes us on a journey from alienation, despair, and sin to a tentative acceptance of faith while acknowledging that gnawing doubt will always exist. Kushner's basso profundo vocals outline a life in darkness, while a soaring falsetto offers glimpses of the
divine light which continually beckons him. Like its title, it is a study in opposites-God and Satan, light and darkness, good and evil, righteousness and sin, physical and spiritual, pleasure and pain-a meditation on mortality, internal conflict, and the desire for awakening through revelation and transcendence.

Today's Behind The Song focuses on his latest single from the project, "Darkside".

The track finds Kushner asking a higher power to help guide him as part of The Dichotomy's final section tracing his redemption. "The music is about my faith," explained Kushner, "but it's also about my various experiences, dealing in the human condition and finding personal meaning that applies to everyone."
