“Shining a light in a moment of darkness, ‘Woodlands Drive’ is an uplifting track for all those stuck in a destructive storm.”

David Ost shares personal experience with his earnest ballad ‘Woodlands Drive.’

Dubbed as the “perfect balance between Jack Garratt and Mumford & Sons”, David Ost is a Hamburg-based singer-songwriter with the power to make you stop and listen. Having grown up enjoying a mixture of Rap, Progressive Rock and film scores, David has only recently found a connection to popular music, albeit twinged with his own singular take on the genre. Since his DIY beginnings, the songwriter has gained support from radio stations across Germany and beyond, racking up over 190k streams worldwide and earning spots on multiple playlists.

Tracing a personal story of a loved one battling with alcoholism, ‘Woodlands Drive’ is a heartfelt ballad that maintains a sense of hope despite being “in the eye of the hurricane”. The initial stripped-back acoustic arrangement puts David’s voice at the forefront – shinning a spotlight on the lyrical picture that it forms – before flowering into more expansive sonic expression as his story pours forth. The warm harmonies lend gravitas and a sense of hope to an otherwise sombre tale, allowing us to find comfort and resilience in the emphatic lyrics. 

Shining a light in a moment of darkness, ‘Woodlands Drive’ is an uplifting track for all those stuck in a destructive storm.
