“Thin Line Of Understanding” is Mauri Dark’s latest single, released November 19, 2020. The song is a darkly poetic treatment of the end of a relationship. With only minimal accompaniment the song features the singer alone with his guitar. With his low baritone vocal and deeply cutting lyrics like “I thought I knew you, but you might be someone else,” the song brings to mind the work of the legendary Leonard Cohen. It is an emotionally raw piece of work with a universally relatable premise. It feels like a break-up, with all of the heartache and growth that comes with the territory.
