I'm a huge lights fan! love her so much! i'm an aspiring singer songwriter, and i finally got the guts to post a few videos. she was really the one who inspired me to do it. i just posted my first original, and i would REALLY appreciate it if you gave it a look on my channel :)
This song is like a prayer... yeah, I know, I know, swiftcovers comment :p
But think about it... if someone as wonderful and cool as Lights believes that God exists and that she can relate to this God in a meaningful way, then shouldn't that at least give her fans that don't believe pause for thought? :) Not preaching, just saying ;)
This is coming from a former atheist turned believer by the way, so I know where those who don't believe are coming from. :) Peace :)
looked up the chords for this song and it sounds fine without playing along with the song, but with the song it sounds totally off i dont understand D:
It's okay that 6 people clicked dislike. I bet they didn't realize she is one of the REAL people out there, that doesnt let fame go to their heads. but w.e not my problem bitches!!
My name is Gage Thomas, i live in arizona u.s. and ive been following your music for a really long time, 2 years i think, your songs inspire me to write lyrics and proceed with a music career. whenever i feel like giving up on my dreams in music i listen to this song so thank you and please keep making music for a long so i can keep listening
Cactus in Valley is about God, because in this so called Valley, she has lost all hope and needs someone to help her wipe away all worries (wipe the sadness from my face). She needs someone to continue to love her (show me that your love never change), and also someone who remembers who she is (Tell me that you still recall my name).
I listened to this 7 months ago, thought it was lovely, filed it away in my memory. Now it's my favorite track on the album. It makes me cry sometimes.
I love that bit in the end, the bit where she starts making her voice sound in creative tones. I wish more people could have the personality this girl's got
@lights if you are not going to record this song, I suggest you let alison kraus record it.. because it's beautiful and it sounds a little bit country
Honestly, this is the most beautiful song i've ever heard. I have many slow songs on my ipod and beautiful string songs and such, but the combination of the instrumentals and your voice is amazing.
Never has this world produced anyone so incredible. You truly do light up this world!! Keep up the amazing work, the world needs stars like you in these difficult and sad times. Thank you Lights, sincerely, thank you
she doesnt hit high notes...but her voice is so soothing..sometimes i dont really like hearing high notes that blow your ears..hearing a tone like this mensmerizes you just like that!
oh my god, shes a beautiful singer. i hate it when people say she cant sing because she uses autotune, but thats just her style. she should do more acoustic stuff though, as well c: <3
The girl that I've fallen in love with is going out with one of my friends, and every time I see them kiss or hold hands, it kills me on the inside. So, to cope, I listen to this song when I'm down. It makes things bearable for me <3
I think that this is one her best songs! Its crazy that it has taken this long for her to put it onto an album, although I am SO excited for it. Her music is incredible and has gotten me through so much. I've seen her live but never been able to tell her the impact her music has really had on me. She`s amazing, and so beautiful.
I saw you in Dallas last year and you played this song. Since then I have been waiting for you to release it. I absolutely love this song it is so beautiful and inspiring in a way I hope you understand. Please continue writing songs like these. Thank you
Lights, I just hope you know that your music is what I listen to when I'm down, sad, depressed, angry.... and it always comforts me and washes all of the negative emotions away. I can't begin to express how thankful I am for what you do.
you're just the only artist that i know who doesn't even need a whole studio team to clear up you voice :d and omg you're beautiful :O if i could i would marry you xD
@wakkaman666 Look at my channel at look at my video... DO I LOOK LIKE A TEENAGER TO YOU! I wouldn't "LIE" to lights... I wouldn't lie to you, I wouldn't lie to ANYONE!
@BeesInTheCity Oh no, sorry i didnt mean it like that, I believe you, 100%, I just have a personal pet peive when people say that they dont ever lie, because in all actuallity, everybody does.
