Acoustic is WAY better for her vocals, but this is good too :)

[jmo1954am1959]

I love this.

[ktom122989]

this track brings a lot of bad memories. ill daymare when i listen to it. i love its haze. instrumentals and melody make a gloom fall over me but then i listen to the words shes says, and her calming voice reminds me of someone. and i wake up.. good song.

[RainbowSprinkles1001]

Want to smile for this song? Think of a single cactus dancing to this, like a one person party.

[AllyChallenged]

Who..Who would dislike this video?! This song is pure perfection.... I love it. ^_^

[squidwardscolon]

ARE YOU LIGHTS, OR ARE YOU JUST A FAN? :DDD <3

[Autumn6]

6 people have never been shown that their love would never change... :(

[mydog8myhomework14]

[fallenhard709]

KoRn!!!!!!!



[cake10]

Lights and BD should do songs together

[catsrawsome00]

I heard one of her songs on facebook and now I'm in love with her songs(:

[MrUnavailableSwag]

(: Nice music

[RainyxInk]

Am I the only one who feels bad for the cactus? ;A;

[Tomul396]

[MelvinFTW123]

i happened to find your youtube profile, by accident, i love this song so much, im glad to have found it xD

[krm3396]

This always makes me think of Finnick and Annie.

[Rokstar991]

@krm3396 from huger games? Thats so sad i cried when i read the book

[kmgpsj]

@Rokstar991 huger games..really now

[Rokstar991]

@kmgpsj oh damn hunger games 

[krm3396]

Why is there always so much arguing on LIGHTS songs?

[delaneydaily]

forever on replay

[hannahfarrell1]

My friend got me a cactus for Christmas, I thought of this song right away haha:)

[PokemansAtTheDisco]

I'd like to leave a mark of gladness on her face ;D

[1996dansan]

2:37 onwards 

[aggiespilot]

I just found out she got engaged. I wanna go cry now. All hopes of marrying her are now gone.

[HopeEsleim1101]

Hey guys! I have a suggestion! How about if you scroll down and see some hateful or dumb comments, ignore them, and maybe leave a comment about the song or video! Sound good?

Okay: This is such a sad song! :'O

[xxStephyStellar]

First time I've heard this song. I hope it's about a cactus. It makes it more beautiful imo.

[RissasOcean]

Raping the replay button. <3 I love Lights so much, I'm currently trying to get my parents to be into her music, rofl.

[xsunnyrainxo]

i just wish stupid people would shut up.

[Mythology57]

Beautifull song

[tnarc1]

It's quite obvious she's using the same metaphors as are used in the Bible... What do you really think "Saviour" is talking about? If you're a real fan of Lights, you shouldn't care what her personal beliefs are... you'd enjoy her music anyway, and you'd be tolerant of the deeper meanings to her lyrics, even if you don't agree with them.

[BANGDBOARDS]

My friend used to think Lights sucked. Than I shot an arrow at his knee.

[cursethetide507]

@BANGDBOARDS ohohohohohoh skyrim jokes. I'll let it slide since I love that game.

[MrWafflex7]

@cursethetide507 You like Lights AND Skyrim? Marry me please.

[cursethetide507]

@MrWafflex7 i havent touched that game since December. I get a headache whenever I play it

[mileymbclimb17]

@BANGDBOARDS on dragonborn ;) people understand that haha

[freako123100]

This is pure BEAUTY.

[sydneyanddiesel]

The beauty of music is that it's interpretational this song is beautiful

[rpballa0001]

I dont understand why you are all arguing over something completely stupid i mean come on just enjoy the music. It is not a factor what the song is about. If you want to interpret it as being about a cactus go ahead. If you think its about something much more deeper and religious go ahead. No one os stopping. My advice though is to not say everything you feel in these comments because then stupid arguments like the one going on happen and it diverts you from the music.

[KJaishiteru96]

LIGHTS is amazingg.

And who cares? People are free to think whatever they want to think the song is about. <33 I love this song. It's soo calming, and perfect for a stroll in the snow under street lights :3

Or maybe watching a cactus in a desert with the sand swirling all around lol.

Lights' previous album was also AMAZING. I love every single song on both of her records!! And I haven't loved ALL songs on an album for a long time since Michael Jackson's records <333.

[TheSillyPlatypus]

Her new album is lovely. Omg.

[LightsFF13Fan]

Wether if it's about a cactus or God or whatever, it's an amazing song. So um scroll back up and enjoy the music =)

[eravacre]

@LightsFF13Fan I hope you realize that your comment made no sense whatsoever.

[LittleMissToontown]

@eravacre yes it did.

[LightsFF13Fan]

@eravacre your point?

[eravacre]

@LightsFF13Fan i can still appreciate the music without scrolling back up

this isn't a music video

just sayin

[LightsFF13Fan]

@eravacre cool story bro (=

[bbblahoo7]

her voice is beuatiful!

[thewatersdeep]

who cares what the song is about? its awesome!

[xXxKenaxXx]

I thought this song was about a couple getting into a fight..

[MattShr00m]

it`s about a cactus people, get over it

[xEvenxThexRosesx]

The ignorant people are the ones who feel the need to put others down as they are voicing their opinions. You cannot force your opinion that 'it's dumb to force your opinions on people' on people. You can't defend an opinion like it's a fact, either. So be nice. State your reasons, and then let it go. This is a good song, whatever it's about.

[musiclover4evr11]

I don't think people have noticed that a lot of Lights' songs are actually about her faith...

Drive My Soul, I Owe You One, Saviour (especially), Second Go, Where The Fence Is Low, Banner, Heavy Rope, Peace Sign, Cactus In The Valley, I Can't See The Light, and In The Dark I See.

But she's allowing people to interpret her songs in their own way.

[thewatersdeep]

@musiclover4evr11

Where the Fence Is Low is about a dream she had, I think you have it the other way around, she wrote it, and we can interpret it to whatever the hell we want.

[musiclover4evr11]

@thewatersdeep I know, but she didn't tell us what exactly the dream was about. So yes, we are free to interpret it however we want.

[TuaRemenersis]

This song reminds me of somebody. I really do like her, but it's such a shame that we haven't actually met in real life. Yes I admit that to some people whom are reading this may think I'm an idiot, but I am serious. We have seen eachother, talked to eachother, giggled with eachother and best of all is that there's not many people like this girl. Not many people like me for what I am; similar reason for her too. I can honestly say that she's beautiful and one day, I WILL meet her.

She's so cute

[DeathToNeonCasket]

My new favorite song.

[fallenhard709]

I remember Lights saying she likes Phil Collins and I definitely hear his inspiration in the beat of this song ;P

[EnnVatnUK]

Religion is a lie. This song is beautiful. BOOM.

[cursethetide507]

@EnnVatnUK Yes, this song is beautiful. Yes, you're an ignorant prick for saying that.

[EnnVatnUK]

@cursethetide507 Thank you kind sir :) May you have a nice day believing in lies.

[EnnVatnUK]

@cursethetide507 Its funny that YOU call me ignorant. Honestly? That is hilarious, thank you.

[Vote4Naty]

@cursethetide507 The real ignorant here is the one who thinks the world was created in 7 days.. And that is only ONE exemple.

[cursethetide507]

@Vote4Naty Actually, the ignorant ones are the ones who need to voice their opinions and dismiss opposite ones completely. Yes, claiming the world was made in 7 days and forcing that on people is being ignorant, so is saying that there is no God whatsoever and forcing that down people's throats. Also, learn how to spell common english words and use proper english grammar before you confront me. muahaha. grammar nazi out.

[KelcieAnne1228]

@cursethetide507

ACTUALLY, we don't go around to houses trying to make people NOT believe in God and Christianity, or other religions... If someone wanted to become a certain religion or even join one, sorry to say, but we'd already go to the proper place, I don't enjoy being harassed. So don't say "the ignorant ones are the ones who need to voice their opinions" because I have witnessed many of religion people at campuses, at my HOUSE, trying to get me to believe.

[cursethetide507]

@KelcieAnne1228 are you blind or stupid? I just said the ignorant people are the ones who force any belief down anyone's throat, such as atheism, christianity, agnosticism...you name it.

[PsychosomaticChick]

@cursethetide507 English*

[cursethetide507]

@PsychosomaticChick capitalization has no effect on whether I can read something clearly or not.

[musiclover4evr11]

@Vote4Naty That's debatable. It depends on the definition of "7 days." Not all Christians are ignorant and stupid. The annoying, ignorant ones are the ones who:

1. Believe Judgement Day is going to be on some day because an idiot told them so *cough cough Camping*

2. Hate.

3. Think the big bang theory is part of evolution.

4. Make up their own rules.

5. Are legalists.

6. Bother everyone.

So I'd suggest you pipe down and not judge an entire faith by some idiots on TV.

[xStephenroughneckx]

@EnnVatnUK hahahhhahahah so much win! but really this song touches and stabs my heart at the same time.

[rainymariee]

@EnnVatnUK

Why the fuck would you bring up Religion during a song about a cactus? ...Dumbass.

[crystalboat21]

she's not shoving God in people's faces but this is definitely a song about dependence on Him.

the Bible constantly refers to being 'in a dry and thirsty land' and needing God to nourish and restore etc.

[crystalboat21]

in some songs the meaning is unquestionable. in this case..."Lights" grew up in a Christian home...and the allusions in her song are ones that are clearly referring to God;s grace, even just the idea of being in a valley is referring to Psalm 23 "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, even there you are with me", the biblical references to God knowing your name&wiping tears from your eyes are also very strong biblical references. i have no doubts that the meaning is spiritual

[DrewA23]

Is iTunes and Amazon the only place you can buy this cd?

[fallenhard709]

This song is so romantic sounding <3

[dhtxras]

Guys, the 'cactus' is a METAPHORICAL figure that is in need of water. She sings 'like the cactus in the valley' not 'I am a cactus in the valley' or 'I have a cactus that lives in a valley.' This song can be taken MANY ways. It can be about; love, a cactus, herself, feelings, emotions, & etc. So, don't fight! If you see it differently, good for you, everyone's different. ♥

[charmedoblivion]

"And wipe the mark of sadness from my face

Show me that your love will never change

If my yesterday is a disgrace

Show me that you still recall my name."

dont worry lights i will do everything u ask for :)

[charmedoblivion]

Dont worry lights

i will make you a cactus :)

[selGdemparamtwilight]

@cursethetide507 lol sometimes its hard to realise the obvious! thanx cursethetide for making us all lol. I definatly lol'd.

[JorBob]

1 person holds all the top comments! Injustice! Occupy YouTube!

Anyway. This song is about seeking unconditional love. Yeah, that could include a God, or a person. It's never specified, and probably never would be. No sense fighting over it.

[brianne64]

Can't we all just let this song mean whatever we want it to mean and not shove it in each others faces?

geez, some people on youtube need a high five, in the face, with a chair.

[cursethetide507]

@brianne64 people just wont accept the fact that she wrote a song about a cactus. =(

[cassie7098]

@brianne64 lol



[cookiegirl27821]

@brianne64 I think some people need a sempethic pat, on the head, with a hammer....

[iwuvyoudarling]

Awesome song.

[Ze1nONLYdemonPRINCE]

In a different perspective, this song tells the story of my life. I'm the cactus who longed for the rain I lost for so many years, now I feel so sorry when sucking up when rain was still there and now that she's gone here I am in this dry desert but if she ever comes back to life again and be born as a diff. person I would be soooo glad if she still knows my name and the promise that she made... that even after death her love will always be there constant and never changing :)) LIGHTS IS LOOOVE!

[missingmissingno]

Im sick right now and this is the only thing calming me... :)

[Livestrong248]

@GlassehDanse It's called sarcasm/having a sense of humor.

[GlassehDanse]

@Livestrong248 Few can use sarcasm online successfully. And I actually do have a sense of humor. Unfortunately there was no humor here.

[cursethetide507]

@GlassehDanse excuse me, my cactus joke was hi-fucking-larious. you clearly have no sense of humor if you didn't fall off of your chair and start cackling as loud as you could.

[GlassehDanse]

@cursethetide507 Uh huh.

[Himpontainous]

@cursethetide507 well personaly.... LOVED the joke :) haha i had the whole "fall off of your chair and start cackling as loud as you could." thing going there! hahahha :)

[maeganmonster]

This version and the acoustic are amaaaaazing

LIGHTS is just amazing in general, all her songs :D

[JoshsRanger]

@cursethetide507 in the valley.

[cartoonstarts]

i think this is about someone trying to fit in. it seems like the cactus just wants to belong. poor cactus :/ ill be your friend :D

[iLoveSerjTankian]

i'm just hearing this song for the first time and omg, it's amazing.

[brooklyndisch]

Lights in her ustream video said she thinks this is one of the best songs she's written. I completely agree

[HopeisInfluential]

love her ability to write such poetic lyrics. does anyone know what the song is truly about? no one asked the writer herself, so please, shut the fuck up and stop acting like you know for sure if she was talking about god or anyone else. it could be anyone.

i'm Christian myself and you guys are seriously annoying me with your need to be right. shut up and enjoy the fucking music.

[1995Musicismylife]

A little weird, but good weird

[joakcbasse]

yes, you can make your own meaning, but i'm betting money that for Lights herself, this song is about God.

now shut up everyone

[TalhaK1]

You guys are so retarted. This is nowhere near about religion/Christianity HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

[girraffesrox]

@TalhaK1 says the one who can't spell 'retarded'.

[bibacovers]

SHUT UP, LIGHTS' SONG'S ARE ANYTHING YOU WANT THEM TO BE

it could be about boys, religion or life lessons maybe?

though the idea of religious aspects in her songs is really random

people please, shut up and enjoy the music

[GrassSquid]

I looked up Psalm 1.

"Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,

but whose delight is in the law of the LORD. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers."

The first lines seem to refer to that precisely.

[GrassSquid]

@GrassSquid I think it amazing on Lights' part to be able to write a religious song that people outside her religion can relate to just as easily.

[MickeyM55]

love this song alot!!!

love Lights<3

[PockyStarPokemon]

AHHH I love this song, It's about Jesus so perfectly :') It just makes me want to worship whenever I hear it!

psst you guys know she is a christian right? So it's very much more than likely that its about God. A lot of her songs are, but they are written in a way that doesn't shove it in your face so if you aren't a christian you can listen to them and form your own personal meaning... But if you are a Christian, whenever you listen to the lyrics of a song like this you KNOW its about God :)

[cursethetide507]

@PockyStarPokemon determining song meanings from lyrics like these is just dumb. They can be about whatever the hell you want it to be about. God or a person.

[PockyStarPokemon]

@cursethetide507 thats why I said she writes them in a way that doesnt shove it in your face so people can form their own personal meanings.. did you skip that part of my comment?

[cursethetide507]

@PockyStarPokemon no. i was laughing at how you're shoving the religious aspect of it in our faces when you're saying she doesn't. quite funny actually

[MinecraftElf]

@cursethetide507 Dude, he's not shoving anything... It's about God, but you don't have to believe to listen.

[cursethetide507]

@MinecraftElf This song isn't about God. It's clearly about a cactus

[GlassehDanse]

@cursethetide507 Yes. Lights obviously wanted to write a song about a freaking Cactus. I agree with you that it can be about God or a person but you don't have to be so mean about it.

[cursethetide507]

@GlassehDanse I'm such an asshole =3

[ChrisineTuesday]

@cursethetide507 why is she talkin about a cactus?

[MattShr00m]

@ChrisineTuesday Why not, its a cool plant :P

[xopeacelovegraciexo]

@cursethetide507

People are entitled to their own opinion, by PockyStarPokemon saying this song is about God, she/he is not at all shoving the religious aspect in anyone's face, they are simply commenting the meaning they get from this song, and there is NOTHING wrong with that. In fact, they clearly said she does it in a way that DOESN'T shove the religious aspect in peoples face, so please, hop off your high horse.

[cursethetide507]

@xopeacelovegraciexo actually, she did shove it in our faces. Having an opinion is "i think this is about God because..." She wrote "THIS SONG IS ABOUT GOD. YOU CANT DISAGREE BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT ITS ABOUT GOD"

[11yearoldawesomeness]

@PockyStarPokemon JESUS FREAK *waves finger in teh face*

[selGdemparamtwilight]

@11yearoldawesomeness well then lights is a jesus freak cuz she makes songs that can relate to Christianity. 11 year old fuckwit.

[11yearoldawesomeness]

@selGdemparamtwilight that awkward moment when im not 11 xD

[wackyerasers2]

@PockyStarPokemon I knw its about God, also...<3 It could be about lots of things, but this song and Heavy Rope scream Jesus and God...I love her little messages like that. <3 Shes not very open about her Christianty, but i can tell. I dont think its dumb at all, its what yu think and that is never wrong. <333

I wanna worship whenever i hear Heavy Rope...:)

[PockyStarPokemon]

@wackyerasers2 me too! a lot of her songs are like that :)

[wackyerasers2]

@PockyStarPokemon They are :)

[selGdemparamtwilight]

@wackyerasers2 Hey Emily! I realized 2 days ago that Light's lyrics in most of her songs really relate to Jesus, and what do you know, I look on here and EVERYONE is talking bout it. I knew I had abnormal intuition abilities lol.

So when I knew she was talking about Jesus, I was like BONUS! :P

Lights tis amazing.

[wackyerasers2]

@selGdemparamtwilight Hey...KAITLYN!! OH YEAH!! :P

Ikr, it makes me feel happy that she is Christian/Catholic i realized she was talking about it in one old song...uhm....

IT IS A BONUS!! Yu religious?

[selGdemparamtwilight]

@wackyerasers2 yh lol , I do go to a catholic school.

[wackyerasers2]

@selGdemparamtwilight THAT IS EPIC NOW I LIKE YU EVEN MORE :) * not in a gay way* Im Christian..:)

[selGdemparamtwilight]

@wackyerasers2 yeah no homo :D lol u silly
