With ‘Light in the Dark’, Tim Camrose Unites Real Stories With Gospel Strength

Tim Camrose continues his artistic evolution with the return of ‘Light in the Dark’, a track that balances emotional authenticity with gospel-infused sound. Released on September 19th, the song revisits a piece from his debut album Half of My Life, this time brought to life with new vocals and a collaboration with the Collectives Gospel Choir.

Camrose’s journey to music has been anything but linear. After decades working as a surgeon and university professor, he now devotes himself to songwriting — drawing on life experiences to inform his lyrics. ‘Light in the Dark’ is a direct reflection of that. Inspired by his time caring for homeless young people who had been assaulted, the song offers empathy without condescension.

The track’s message is distilled in one powerful lyric: “You don’t want my pity, just a chance to show the world what you can do.” Released in alignment with World Homeless Day, the song becomes more than just music — it’s a call for recognition and respect.

Known for weaving human experiences into his compositions, Camrose finds inspiration in storytelling icons like Billy Joel and Elton John. His approach places narrative front and center, something that will carry forward into his next body of work, American Stories. This upcoming release explores his ties to U.S. culture and the cities that shaped his musical outlook — including his aspiration to one day perform in Nashville.

With ‘Light in the Dark’, Tim Camrose not only shares a song, but delivers a statement — one that resonates with soul, heart, and intention.
