The first time I heard Bonnie @soundlegion was her collab with The Real Metropolis on the song 'Flashlight'. I was an instant Fan.
I continued to see her name on the choon feed with constant new Original music and lots of Collabs.
I didn't know how to send her a Private message so I tweeted to her a couple of times saying that I'd love to work with her.
About a month ago we made contact.
Since then we've released two songs and the third is on the way. I'm just Mastering it as I write this.
'Afraid Of The Dark' happened in record time. I wrote it on Tuesday Nov 13th and sent it off to Bonnie that night before bed. She had her tracks back to me on the 13th and it was released on choon on the 16th.
When I say Indie effort I mean Indie effort.
I wrote the Music and Mixed and Mastered the song while Bonnie wrote the Lyrics, Vocals, Video and Graphic Design.
Go Team! I couldn't be happier with the results.
Here's the song info and links
Collectively drawing from various influences this song breaks lots of Genres boundaries.
No Samples or Loops.

Lyrics- Bonnie Legion
Are you afraid of the dark,
Don't know where the edges start,
I can find my way through the blackest part.
Cause i know where the candles are.
Can you leave the lights on.
I'm burning wicks on both the ends,
In the middle of it all is where the fun begins
I feel this cold like, shiver stain,
In the distance where the angels sang,
Can you leave the lights on?
Can you leave the lights on ?
Are you afraid of the dark?
Don't know where the edges start.
I can find my way through the blackest part.
Cause i know where the candles are.

P.S.
My second collab with The Sixth Stone drops this week too.
Thanks for listening and supporting Indie Artists Like us.

Dave / wav-Dr.
I really love it! Kinda reminds me of early Massive Attack records, great blend of rock and electronic music. Can not wait for your next release.
Cheers!
Thanks a lot @gibic. I ran out of steem the other day and couldn't respond. The Massive Attack comparison keeps coming up. All the best

Sweeeeet!
That's my happy dance right now lol.
Much love & huggins coming right back at ya ♡
The first quarter of the music reminded me folklore music, do not know why, just very positive, cheerful, energetic despite of the fact that this is about darkness and if someone afraid of darkness. Anyway. The video was done very well, like the moment when you are appearing from the dark background and disappearing again. Like the slow part of music that is more mysterious. All together great composition and sounds good and beautiful video.
Thanks so much @stef1. That means a lot. I am thrilled with how this all turned out. All the best.
Awesome song, so much so we have selected it for our Adsactly Music Initiative, however due to this post being past the 7 day reward period, we will be showing some upvote love to one of your more recent posts.
Just listened to this at work, pretty cool track, I like the subtle undertones and how it mellows out at the end. Thanks for sharing, well done!

Thanks for listening @sanctus

Thank you for your kind words @iraidamatheus. Music is my Vitamin. You are so right. Thanks for listening.
All the best friend.
Thanks for the Wow's @daydreamcupcakes.

Brilliant work guys!
Really enjoyed this collaboration!
Thanks so much @darrenclaxton. You and David sound great together!
Two great artists in one piece <3 This is a great song.. Wow the rhythm is fantastic, and that video is great, I liked seeing how their faces appeared and disappeared throughout the video, I wonder how they achieved that effect? It was a very original idea .. A big hug for both @wav-dr and @soundlegion I love it
Thank you @naideth. It was Bonnie's idea and video Production. I used 2 headlamps on my keyboard aimed up at the ceiling in a dark room for me. Bonnie did all sorts of cool tricks on here end. I'm glad you enjoyed it. All the best
Yes Dave & Bonnie!! Awesome collaboration and really dark video (no pun intended) - lovely harmonies on the vocals, great production and all that collaborative effort has paid off! Hope all the best for the release on Friday! Look forward to speaking with you on Friday's MSP waves show :)

Love the voice fx, Bonnie is amazing as always, never fail to deliver amazingly powerfully and ethereally at the same time, she has that commercial factor, but not the annoying one, the edgy one, the I can't stop listening to this one!
