Nashville indie-pop singer-songwriter MORGXN has just made a striking return with his brand new single, “Beacon,” which is a song that is driven by an incredibly powerful force. The artist is no stranger to the music scene as he has been writing and recording music for years, but this song holds an especially delicate place in MORGXN’s heart. “Beacon” signifies the artist’s return to his hometown of Nashville and captures his feelings surrounding coming home and finding his voice after the passing of his father. Being a forthright member of the LGBTQ+ community and experiencing first-hand the turmoil and unrest being projected towards fellow community members, “Beacon” is a song about finding the light within the darkness.
“Where do we begin? / You think you’re lost my friend.” MORGXN opens the track sympathizing with listeners and diving down into the levels of hopelessness and discouragement that someone may be in desperate need of rescuing from. Shortly following with, “I’ll try to show the way / Keep you sound and safe,” MORGXN assures listeners that he is here to be the one that will rescue them. “Beacon” is a compellingly moving ballad that moves with the ups and downs that come with life.
Writing the song alongside Melissa Fuller and Drew Kennedy allowed the artist to find his own hope within the darkness. In the words of MORGXN, "Sometimes the power of a song remains hidden until right before you release it. Just how the light seems darkest just before the rush of morning. Beacon has and continues to save my life.”
MORGXN proves himself as an exceptionally authentic and tenderhearted artist and person through “Beacon,” which is streaming everywhere today. For anyone in need of a little bit of hope, have a listen to the song.
