Lawrence Timoni’s new song, “Brighter Still,” is a deep, emotional and powerful track reflecting his personal journey through some very dark times. He wrote this song during a period when he was battling psychosis and severe anxiety in psychiatric care, the song is about moving from a place of deep despair to finding hope and healing. It’s a story of overcoming inner struggles, and it’s something that anyone who has ever felt lost or overwhelmed can relate to.
Timoni wrote this song when he felt completely disconnected from both him and the world around him. Caught in the chaos of his mind, he found himself in a place where the light seemed far out of reach but someone special came into his life during this difficult time to stay with him, offering comfort and presence. This support didn’t bring immediate healing, but it was what he needed to find his way out of darkness.
The message in the song is powerful: “With every step, it will be brighter still.” It’s about taking that first step toward healing, no matter how small, and realizing that things will get better over time. For anyone who’s been through mental health struggles or is still looking for a way out, “Brighter Still” is a reminder that hope is always within reach, even in the darkest moments.
The song begins softly, creating a sense of calm and reflection, before it gradually builds into a more energetic, almost cinematic atmosphere. The combination of fast beats, strong basslines, atmospheric guitars, and powerful synths creates a sense of forward motion, like a journey from darkness to light.
Timoni’s voice adds depth to the song as it perfectly matches the vulnerability in the lyrics. His vocals soar as the song continues to build up guiding the listeners through the ups and the lows of the story being told. The emotional weight of the song makes it impossible for the listener not to get lost in the track.
Timoni himself has compared the song’s energy to the electrifying feeling you might get if Thom Yorke had too many espressos, and it’s an apt description. The song has a fast pace and builds in intensity, creating an exciting, almost electric vibe.
If you enjoy the music of bands like The Lumineers, Vance Joy, or Of Monsters and Men, then “Brighter Still” will fit perfectly into your playlist. Like these artists, Timoni blends folk and indie rock with an upbeat, sincere energy that’s easy to connect with.
Brighter Still” is a message of hope and inspiration. Timoni’s journey from darkness to light is something that can inspire anyone who has gone through tough times or is still facing their own battles. It’s a reminder that even when it feels like we’re stuck, things can and will get better. The song encourages you to keep moving forward, one step at a time, because with every step, it does get brighter.
For anyone who’s ever needed a reminder that healing is possible, “Brighter Still” is that spark of light.
