Finding your true purpose in life can be quite daunting, a chapter in our lives that can serve as our distinctive era of realization and cognizance. However, it doesn’t come easy. If anything, a plethora of us may feel lost. We may feel confused, and nebulous about our next decisions in life and where our steps will lead us next. Most of the time, our interminable fear may even stop us from pursuing the next chapters in our lives due to us having to leave things behind, like our former lives we’ve grown accustomed to and our close loved ones. Dropping it and leaving it all behind is one of the hardest parts of it all, growing used to the things we’ve known, discouraging us from taking a step out of our comfort zone, and leaving what has brought us sanctuary. This is a similar concept that Rohin has explored in his latest song “Daylight.Streetlights.Softeyes”. Where lyrics like “I’ve been finding my place in the dark” are sure to strike chords in the sore hearts of reflective listeners who face the same feelings in life. The intricate lyrics encourage sentiments of nostalgia and recollection.



The sound is light and mellifluous, almost harboring hints of nostalgia with how quotidian and pensive it seems. Rohin’s voice is a soothing instrument in itself, providing the song the hint of sentimentality it needs, adding more emotion and feeling to the deliberative lyrics that grant listeners painstaking thoughts. It lets the listeners know that they aren’t the only ones who experience feelings of complexity when it comes to questioning the true meaning of our lives and what we wish to pursue– the hesitation that comes with making such challenging decisions. The song itself has a ‘coming of age’ feel with emotive lyrics that just seem to grasp the feelings so exceptionally. As a young adult myself, I also face the bedlam and challenges of life and what it is I want to do with my future, the things I have to give up to achieve my goals. Not only does this song sprout conscientious thought, but it also manages to hum such a casual and relaxing tune, something that sets the mood for a quiet and still night.


Rohin, the talented artist behind such an intricate and stirring song is a singer and songwriter based in Toronto, Canada. Just a few years back, in 2021, he moved to Toronto at the young age of 18 years to pursue his passion for music. Despite his fears of moving out alone after graduating school, Rohin swallowed his fears in favor of pursuing his dreams of becoming a musician and sharing his talents with the rest of the world and any listener who was willing to try his methodical sound. Throughout the years that went by, he spent the entire time working on his craft and honing his talents for music, writing songs as he moved all around Northern Canada. Rohin was able to create his first EP titled “so follow me down: part 2” which includes three songs titled “Loaded Guns” “SadLove” and the song “Daylight.Streetlights.Softeyes”. Rohin plans to continue his music journey– having more in store for his listeners. As Rohin continues this journey, I can’t wait to hear what he has planned next!
