Rating: 5 out of 5.
A seriously sweet alternative gem that intimately captures the lengths we’ll go to for the one that we love.
Joshua Hawkes continues to build momentum with his latest release, We’ll Find Each Other In The Dark. Inspired by the emotional storytelling of artists like Dermot Kennedy and Ben Howard, the UK-based singer-songwriter leans into vulnerability and quiet strength, offering listeners an honest look at what it means to stay connected—even in uncertainty.
Following previous singles “This Will All Be Over Soon” and “All Falls Down,” this new track marks another step forward in Hawkes’s journey as a rising alternative voice. The single begins with a mellow, melodic instrumental before blooming into an energetic and emotionally rich soundscape that mirrors the evolution of the story being told.
Lyrically, it’s a heartfelt declaration of commitment and emotional support. Lines like “We’ve been holding on for better days to feel something like we used to, but I’ll just keep on holding on to you” and “You haven’t been sleeping lately but I’ll be there to hold you through the night” encapsulate the ache of longing and the quiet power of showing up for someone when it counts the most.
With its impassioned vocals, soaring instrumentation, and unshakable emotional core, “We’ll Find Each Other In The Dark” is an alternative gem that reminds us love is often found in the most challenging moments—not in spite of them, but because of them.
