Today on Cupchairs Reacts, I’m listening to Light At The End Of The Tunnel by Irian Darkwood

Today on Cupchairs Reacts, I’m listening to Light At The End Of The Tunnel by Irian Darkwood, a Canadian rock/metal vocalist and songwriter whose music comes from a deeply personal place. Written nearly a decade ago while navigating PTSD and addiction recovery, this track is all about resilience, hope, and holding on when things get tough.

Recorded between Halifax and Sweden with the help of session musicians and a remote producer, this single is both emotionally raw and musically intentional. From the gritty, determined vocals to the layered chorus and instrumental interludes, it captures the feeling of someone fighting through darkness and choosing to keep going.

The production is solid, the melodies stick with you, and the music video—featuring contrasting visuals of light and shadow—really brings the journey to life.

This isn’t just a song—it’s someone telling their story so others don’t feel alone. And that’s exactly the kind of music we’re here to support at Cupchairs.
