“I was the ADHD kid who was greatly misunderstood, and I was depressed all the time. At first, the song started with a cool guitar line that I enjoyed, and the words Dark Heart sounded nice. As the song developed, I realized I was writing the music to my younger self. This song came from a dark past that I am now ready to face and heal from. The power of music! I hope you enjoy the song and it’s journey.“

“Dark Heart” is a deep personal and introspective track that delves into the emotional struggles of a misunderstood youth, particularly one dealing with ADHD and depression. With its moody, reflective tone and powerful emotional weight, “Dark Heart” is a cathartic expression of facing a dark past and finding the strength to heal through music. The song’s composition is anchored by a cool, haunting guitar line that sets the tone from the very beginning. The guitar melody is central to the track, not only creating a sense of atmosphere but also reflecting the mood of the song’s title. The instrumentation complements the theme, blending elements of rock and alternative with an introspective, almost somber energy. The phrase “dark heart” serves as both a metaphor for his emotional state during his youth and a way to express the confusion and pain of being misunderstood.
