Afraid of the Dark (song)
"Afraid of the Dark" is a song released by American synthpop duo Young Ejecta, consisting of Leanne Macomber and Joel Ford, under the name Ejecta. Written by Macomber and produced by Ford, the song was released in September 2013 as the second single from the duo's debut studio album ''Dominae'' (2013). The four-minute track lyrically addresses "someone, broken by love, who is building up strength to protect themselves in future", as stated by ''Polari Magazine''. It earned positive reviews from music critics upon release and was played on the show ''The Vampire Diaries''. In 2014, the group performed the song at the fourth annual Gorilla vs. Bear festival.
==Production and composition==
"Afraid of the Dark" was written by Leanne Macomber, with production by Joel Ford and mastering by Josh Bonati. It is a synthpop song〔 running for four minutes and 24 seconds. A writer for ''Fact'' felt its overall style was taken from songs in the soundtrack of the 2011 film ''Drive''.〔 Writers have analyzed airy synths, bright brash Europop-influenced New Order-esque synth stabs,〔 a driving arpreggiated Kavinsky-style bass and a bouncing four-on-the-floor minimal disco drum beat.〔〔〔 These accompany Macomber's "glossy" vocals.〔 According to ''Polari Magazine'''s Andrew Darley, the lyrics discuss "someone, broken by love, who is building up strength to protect themselves in future." In a Pitchfork Media review, Jerry Gordan said the chorus, "This warm heart's afraid of the dark/ Never gonna stop, I’m never going to conquer", might be the lyrical thesis of ''Dominae''.
As said in publications, "Afraid of the Dark" opens with an eerie and dark Joy Division-like soundscape〔 with only the breathy synths playing behind Macomber's vocals,〔 and then it goes into a modern upbeat song which Annie Stevens of ''Hillydilly'' described its feel as the combination of Phantogram and The Naked and Famous. It musically departs from the ominousness of the title using a "spritely and buoyant ambiance", according to ''Consequence of Sound'' writer Virra. Josiah Hughes of ''Exclaim!'' described the track as "the Italians Do It Better crew if they had a different batch of synthesizers."〔 It has also been referred by reviewers as "lightly dancey", "glowing",〔 "romantic"〔 and "propulsive() cinema()".
