It&#8217;s fun to imagine Mister Cohen in a sci-fi computer world. And just like Cohen&#8217;s song, the title is also the name of the whole album. I feel like I already talked too much so I&#8217;ll briefly say that the singing in this track is really haunting and adds a great depth to these simple lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Before I give you a prompt I&#8217;d like to share a funny review you can find on their <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/auaband.bandcamp.com\/album\/i-don-t-want-it-darker\" target=\"_blank\">bandcamp<\/a>, someone with the username &#8220;LSD&#8221; commented : &#8220;<em>Definitely a good album for stoners!&#8221;<\/em>. <strong>Anyway <\/strong>this week I&#8217;d like you to <strong>find a song or an album&#8217;s name<\/strong> that you would subvert for your own song or album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I&#8217;d do a weird heavy noise album called &#8220;The Bombs are Louder Now&#8221; (in reference to the Smiths compilation album&#8230;.not the BTS song&#8230;c&#8217;mon people)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Answer Below<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know about you but these days I only want to listen to music that feels like a friendly yet sad computer made it and I Don&#8217;t Want It Darker by the german duo AUA is exactly that.
