Track Premiere: Bill Scorzari “And So (Deep Into The Dark)”

Bill Scorzari doesn’t do music by halves, and that’s true for his next release which will be the double album “Sidereal Days (Day 1) & (Day 2)” which will (spot the irony here) be released in two halves with October 17, 2025 being the release date for “Sidereal Days (Day 1)“.   Then there will be a short delay to take in and absorb that album before “Sidereal Days (Day 2)” is issued in 2026.  In advance of all of that there will be a series of singles, of which ‘And So (Deep Into The Dark)‘ is the second.  It’s a song that has a desperate feeling to it, desperation mixed with a foolishness of pride perhaps, as a couple argue, and argue, and agree that it is all over and maybe one, and maybe two, people are making a mistake at that point.  Or, at least, a regret.

Bill Scorzari told Americana UK that: “When I began writing this song and the lyrics started to develop, at some point the effort became less of a song-writing session and more of a study of how competing fragile egos get triggered and can feed off of each other only to end up in a dark place devoid of hope or understanding. And so, since there can be no solution to a problem without an understanding of it, when that theme presented itself, the lyrics overtook the music as the force that was driving the importance of, and the purpose for creating the song, and they had my full focus. I looked for a lyrical device that would convey how the actions of the two characters in the story each influenced the other’s in a successively escalating bonfire of reactivity that compelled them to each retreat deeper into their closed-off and defensive selves – all contained within the restrictive pattern of rhythmically compatible and rhyming lyrical phrases. And so, “And so,” became the foundation on which the song was built. It’s the causal connection of, “this happened, and so the next thing followed,” that tells the story of “And So (Deep Into the Dark).

Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
