I just never tire of hearing
som jag aldrig tröttnar på att höra
part of being human
av att vara människa
where it lingers and rots.
där den dröjer kvar och ruttnar.
lyssna på de sångerna -
these hard emotions,
dessa hårda känslor,
that we're not alone in darkness.
lyssnar, att vi inte är ensamma i mörker.

Luke Sital-Singh - Singer-songwriterLuke Sital-Singh plumbs emotional depths to write tender, tuneful songs.
Why you should listen
Luke Sital-Singh is an internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter from the UK. In 2012 he released his debut single "Fail For You," which first introduced to the world his deft ability to craft songs with a mesmerizing piercing emotional quality. The song went on to be featured in numerous TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy. At the end of 2013, Sital-Singh was featured in the BBC's Sound of 2014 list and signed to Parlophone records, who released his debut record The Fire Inside later that year.
After a couple of years touring the world and opening for artist such as Villagers, The Staves, Martha Wainwright and Kodaline, in 2017 Sital-Singh released his sophomore record Time Is A Riddle, which featured the stand out song "Killing Me." His songs are rich and somber and have the tendency to stop you in your tracks. Of his songwriting, Sital-Singh says: "I like writing about the heavy things. There’s a lot of shallow stuff out there and that’s fine for certain contexts. My fun is diving as deep as I can. Inside myself and, if I can, inside others and writing songs that are as honest as I can make them. Honest to the struggles we all face, the sadness but more importantly, the hope."
