Ant Coughlin has just released the second single from his newly released album "Light Rooms, Dark Halls." The song "All My Life" was produced by Wes Pendleton and cuts by DJ Average Joe.
Like every song on the album, "All My Life" is heavily influenced by Coughlin's own story. This is a song that seeks to provide a voice of hope and imploration to people struggling with addiction. And it also serves s a commentary on the troubles of the city. Couglin has this to say about the single: "My muse for this came from my close relationships with friends and loved ones who have wrestled with drug addiction and my own experience watching the eroding effects of heroine, prescription pills, methadone clinics and the tremendous power of shame on human identity and ambition. My heart on this song is quite simple-Your shame, pain and guilt has been taken away by Another. Substitutes for His love and grace will only leave us wanting; hence the words:
In the souls of the jaded, the devastated
from doing everything that they He hated--I see His face
portraits of His portrait, painted over with poor traits
satiated with poor fakes--forgeries of the LORD'S grace."
