When The Lights Go Out

"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | Day 17

"When The Lights Go Out"
by Patrick Droney

This was my 11th most listened-to song on Spotify in 2021, and honestly it's kind of amazing that the song made it that high given that I didn't discover it until mid-September. I found him through a friend's Spotify channel recommendations. I've listened to a handful of his other songs at this point and they're okay, but this one's really stuck with me for some reason. I'm also including the video of his live performance of the song from The Late Show with Steve Colbert because it also showcases some of his talents with a guitar which aren't present on the original song.

There are times when I like music with a country flavor, but I tend to gravitate towards either country/pop or country/rock (which will also be evidenced by my next song choice ). My wife and I visited Nashville a few years back and this was the kind of music we loved finding in the city, going from show to show as independent musicians played in venues all over the city. Listening to this song makes me want to go back to Nashville again for a visit.
