Rich Anthony’ s latest single, "Only When It’s Dark Enough," arrives at a moment when the world seems clouded by division and uncertainty—and it couldn’t come at a better time. Inspired by a powerful quote from Kamala Harris, which was originally spoken by Martin Luther King Jr., the track offers a message of resilience: "Only when it’s dark enough, can you see the stars."
Anthony, who balances his career as a high school physics teacher with his passion for songwriting, has built a reputation for creating music that speaks to personal struggles, healing, and hope. On "Only When It’s Dark Enough," he elevates these themes to new heights, delivering a stirring reminder that light often emerges from the darkest of times. With its lush electronic arrangement and emotionally charged vocals, the song encapsulates the struggle and strength of overcoming life’s toughest challenges.
What stands out most about Rich Anthony’s music is his ability to merge the deeply personal with the universally relatable. "Only When It’s Dark Enough" isn't just about politics or fleeting moments—it’s about the raw, human experience of facing despair and discovering a way through. “We can dwell on all the darkness, or fight for what is right,” Anthony sings, capturing the essence of his philosophy: that even in the face of hardship, there is always a choice to be made. It’s a subtle, yet powerful call to action for anyone feeling lost or hopeless in today’s world.
The song follows a trajectory of Anthony’s recent work, which spans from introspective ballads like It Never Ends to the playful, Halloween-themed "Santa on a Pumpkin." With "Only When It’s Dark Enough," he distills his life’s lessons into one of his most poignant tracks to date. It’s a song that resonates not just in its lyrics but in its sound—gentle yet insistent, soothing yet energizing.
In a time when so much feels uncertain, Rich Anthony’s anthem is a reminder that hope is always just beyond the horizon.
