My
introduction to Dan Chadburn was the title track off his new album Keys of Light. I featured the track on
one of our sites (RateThe Tracks). What happened while listening to that song
turned into quite an eventful experience. I was feeling so sad that my little
girl was all grown up, and had left home. What I realized after I had shed my
tears was how healing that was to be able to feel those powerful emotions then
let the music take me and heal my soul.
Great
music carries a message with it however creating instrumental music is more
difficult for people to find something that moves them. I have heard some
amazing music this year and that is my honor and privilege to do so. This is
why I can appreciate and respect incredibly talented artists like Dan Chadburn.
The keyboards and orchestrations throughout Keys
of Light are like a soundtrack to heaven. If this is the kind of bliss that
awaits us after we leave our bodies and become pure light then we are in for an
amazing journey ahead. This is music for the living and it will make you feel
so many things, and it can be very healing if you want to take the time to
listen to it all.
I normally like to point to three key tracks but in this
case I feel that would not be fair. Each track leads the next down a different
path and they are all connected. Every track is extremely strong with a
different pace and texture that creates moods and atmospheres that I can see
fitting into a motion picture or narrated visual. Music such as this has a
multitude of uses and that makes it invaluable.
It was a pleasure to discover the music of Dan Chadburn
and his work of art on this musical canvas called Keys of Light. It certainly was a bright spot in my day to listen
to this music. Yes it will bring many thoughts and emotions upon you but you
will also have an opportunity to process those feelings then move on. You have
to feel before you can heal and this music is the perfect place to start.
