Irish vocalist Susan McKeown presents Singing in the Dark, a haunting album inspired by McKeown's meeting with the families and loved ones of those suffering from mental illness. The endemic problem of depressions strikes especially close to McKeown's heart, as people of her native land and those of her musician's profession are more likely than average to fall prey to depression and even suicide. "Singing in the Dark" draws upon classical poetry about madness and mental illness to heart-rending music. The result is an unforgettable album not only about pain and suffering, but also hope and the resolve to move forward. The tracks are "In a Dark Time" (3:13), "A Woman Like That (Her Kind)" (4:08), "The Nameless One" (5:39), "The Crazy Woman" (4:29), "In Darkness Let Me Dwell" (3:41), "Mad Sweeney" (5:23), "Anthem" (5:50), "Gracias a la Vida" (3:57), "The Crack in the Stairs" (3:38), "Good Old World Blues" (4:26), "Angel of Depression" (2:49), and "So We'll Go No More A-Roving" (3:49). 12/07/10 >> go there
