THANKS FOR THE DARK, THANKS FOR THE LIGHT

Hey! I'm Tom, 21, Nottingham. Amateur photographer and folk musician. This is my retreat.

The last few months have been quite testing. I went into and came out of a tempestuous and destructive relationship, changed jobs, and been scared about my health, and thus I’ve had a lot of time to think about what I want out of life, and with who I want to surround myself with. I’ve found that performing and recording music has been a hugely cathartic outlet for me, as I feel it is with most people. 

So I've recorded a cover of Sufjan Stevens’ beautiful song ‘No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross’. It means an awful lot to me; it helped me through some tough spots, and I hope it does justice to the original. I also hope you guys like it. Please tell me what you think!

It was exciting to see her grow and both of us grow and change together. But that’s also the hard part: growing without growing apart or changing without it scaring the other person. I still find myself having conversations with her in my mind. Her (2013) written & directed by Spike Jonze

Apologies for my prolonged absence: life’s been a struggle.

I did a new cover! I’ve been meaning to do this song for a while but never got round to it. I’m also starting to write my own stuff so I might do an original down the line. Enjoy!

So I ended up lightening my hair to an orangey colour. Whoops!

[shoretosh0re]

why do you have no direction?

I graduated a few months back and I’m starting to really worry, because I thought by now I’d have found my ideal starting job for my career, but instead I’m just doing odd jobs for income and the more I can’t find something the more dispiriting everything becomes, and I just feel kinda aimless. I imagine everyone suffers through this at one point or another, and it sucks.
