Daniel Cavanagh - The Exorcist (from Monochrome)

The new solo album "Monochrome" from Anathema's pioneering songwriter Daniel Cavanagh is OUT NOW

Monochrome is inspired by internal reflections on love and loss, making it a deeply personal album. Cavanagh elaborates: “The album has a late night, candlelit feeling, evoking the light of dusk as the summer sun sinks below the horizon, setting the scene for thoughts and meditations that many people will relate to.

“A lot of this material could easily have made it on to the last Anathema album or any future album; that's how highly the band rate it. There are several highlights: "The Exorcist" and "The Silent Flight of the Raven Winged Hours" are among some of my best works of the last decade. Taking them from the band was not an easy decision but I am glad; they're so personal as to not need more input.”

Riding the waves of his success with Anathema’s latest album The Optimist, Daniel has also brought in Anneke Van Giersbergen – ex-vocalist for The Gathering, who has since sung with Devin Townsend, Árstíðir, Anathema and Arjen Lucassen – and the exceptionally talented Anna Phoebe provides also violin on three of the album tracks.

This song is one of the many reasons I feel related with your soul.

I struggle with the fear of life and scared to live, but your music gives me the strength to persevere, every single day.

You Dan, you speak to me in so many ways.

I stand by you and behind you, and this will never change.

Dan non mollare! Noi ti vogliamo bene! ❤

[Gilmour]

I have always believed in the notion of the "songwriter". I believe the songwriter is the heart and soul of a band even though he might not be the frontman. Danny is one the best songwriters just because he understands beauty in simplicity. This is a beautiful piece of art aiming straight to the heart..

[MontseMagia]

"Love is all we are, together or apart ", thank you Dany, so beautiful.

[burnitdwn]

Words are insufficient to describe the magnitude of magnificence.

[ghazalgothic]

He is not a human! He's an angel! ❤❤❤

[RichardTP]

And I can't be
Where you are today
And I can't feel
What you feel today

And I can't see
What you see from there
And I can't feel
The love you feel there

And I know
It was hard for you
Like it's hard for me
To be without you

Can you feel me
Can you see me
Can you feel me now
Can you see me somehow

Do you trust in who I am
Do you believe in where I stand
Do you trust in who I am
Do you believe in where I stand

Cause you save me from myself
Yes, you save me from myself
Cause you save me from myself
Yes, you save me from myself

[gersonmarques]

I have no words to express the mix of feelings I have when listening to this song! Dan is simply amazing what you make us

[MarianaSilva-pfwy]
