Darkness Awaits - Open Collaboration with Milana Zilnik

Description by John Styles:

Welcome to my first collab with Rachel Brick most of you know better by IceRequiem, a very talented Violin player who offered to play on my song I released earlier, I’ve mixed her recordings so that her violin is talking / answering the guitars, and I am very proud of Rachel’s performance, she obviously understood my composition and the story behind it so well, her violin fits like a glove into my original song.
I am really looking forward doing more collabs with Rachel in the near future, her talent is astonishing. 

Composer: John Styles
Solo Violin: Rachel Brick (https://soundcloud.com/ice-requiem)
Arrangements, all other instruments & Production: John Styles
 
The story behind “For what it’s worth”:

While Matt and I were working on the song “Don’t look back” for our charity album “Love and Hope”, memories of my youth (the time I was in the band “Revival”) came back, We were always experimenting and jamming in the weekends, we had no families yet, so we were free to make music where and whenever we wanted it.
One specific weekend was very precious to us all, we jammed from Friday 15:00 till Saturday 23:45, talking eating and making lot’s of fun, and making awesome music at the same time, we really got to know each other a lot better, and we felt like we could do everything we wanted and we were ONE, we expressed our feelings and thoughts with each other, I think our best music was created in that specific weekend.
Unfortunately only a few of those pieces were really finished, and were played life for an audience.
The peace and harmony we all felt that weekend, we have never experienced it anymore, and we all asked ourselves why, probably our daily life’s had changed us, and it hurts deep inside, because now we can never do it again, as a few of our (former) members are no longer with us, God bless their souls.
I tried to express myself (feelings and thoughts) with this new song, and tell you all to follow your dreams and try too for fill them, if you don’t although you had the change, you’ll always be sorry you didn’t.
So “For what it’s Worth” I am so sorry I didn’t do everything in my power to keep “Revival” together, and find a common goal that we could all live together with, and continue to make this beautiful music.   

Also because of the latest developments in the world and what I heard from my friends, people often ask themselves in what kind of world are we living in, people begin to ask what has happened with us all, and where did we all go wrong, how come we don’t seem to care about ourselves and others anymore.
Unfortunately we live in a world where people have no idea what a promise means, and words are just words, whether it’s said by politicians, people on the street, or doctors promising to be there for you when you need them the most, but when you keep them to their word, they are not there, and we seem to have forgotten how much it can hurt others, and eventually it will come back to ourselves too, as a visual circle.
Again, “For what it’s Worth” stop hurting each other, peace and harmony will save you and the world.
Inner peace awakened while I was just relaxing in the water during my rehabilitation in the hospital, and this journey came to mind, and I heard a slide guitar playing around back and forth, although I never used a solo slide guitar to do the melody on my songs, I just wanted to give it a go, and I liked it a lot, as for some reason it could give the exact mood back I had while I was laying in the pool humming this idea/journey, it brought back positive emotions and feelings, and those I wan to share with you all “For what it’s Worth”,
so you can fill in your own story while your listening to this journey I’ve made for everybody to enjoy!

Your comments, critics and advice are very much appreciated as always, cheers John and Rachel
This song will be remade by Euphoriqa on a later stage as well (maybe even with lyrics and us singing).
