Lights is a lyrical genius. She's different and that's obviously a good thing. I've been listening to her music for almost a year now, of course she's changed. If her music was the same old thing over and over again, that'd be boring.
I honestly love this song just as much as her other songs. Just saying.
I don't think this is that different from her old stuff. It's just as different as My Boots or even the Re:Boots. I saw this coming from a mile away, and if you ever listen to LIGHTS talk about music, you would know that she wasn't going to make the same album, and she even said that some of the songs on the record are girly and pop-py just like the listening.
You all are living in a bubble if you thought Lights was going to sound the same on every album. The Listening was one aspect or chapter of Lights, now it's time to experience another. The song is AMAZING! Point, blank, period.
@summerwasabummer sorry i'm not a lights fanboy, I like her music and indifferent to her as a person, I don't even know her! so I cant ask for her old style again which i very much enjoyed? who buys something just because someone they like, made it -_-
I suppose you're right. I just think that a lot of artists experiment with their style, and I hate to see good artists like Lights lose fans because of it. And the sad thing is, lots of people would buy something just because someone they like uses it, made it, or promoted it! I'm glad to see you're not a follower! :)
I really like it, but have trouble making out what she's saying in the verses over the beat in the background. Is it just me? It's probably just me...lolz. And yeah, where's the cocaine reference? Can anyone quote it for me please? Thanks.
@SomewhatSaints that is exactly what im saying, in now way is it condoning cocaine use.. its just a metaphor of how depressed people use cocaine really
so I've heard many versions of this song...just one thing. I love Lights!! What's wrong with the bass though? Does anyone notice that its a little static-y?
@Rabeehanna555 I would care if it sucked (don't think that's possible lol just saying). Like, if she released something and it wasn't good, I would be disappointed and surprised. And I would care.
The chorus is orgasmic, so I'm a little disappointed that the rest of the song wasn't like that, but it was nice. The 8-bit dubsteppy-ness, really nice. And LIGHTS is really showing how good of an artist she is - She's taking risks. This album will NOT be a 'The Listening Pt. 2' Also, cocaine reference was almost harmless. I mean, it's rap and it rhymed. I didn't mind.
This is amazing...i love where your songwriting maturity is headed... :) i agree...it's not that i dislike the cocaine reference...it's just you wouldnt expect that from Lights...but it's all good ...it sounds amazing...can't wait till her album OMG
@AlexisAz623 It's drums and bass, and it somewhat gave that effect, but I think it had a little to do with the uploading, too. I don't like it either, aha. But it's different.
The weird thing about this song is that I love everyone on it so much, I adore Lights, Holy Fuck is rad, and Shad is absolutely brilliant, but it just didn't come together quite right
i like this, and i even kind of like the rap, which is rare for me, but the cocaine reference. is it really necessary? i'm just saying, it could narrow the amount of people who would like this a little bit.
Dunno what to think about this song, but its obvious her music style has matured since The Listening. I don't mind the Shad K but id rather hear Lights voice in her songs. As for the bass i think its a bit too much yet when i listened to it with better quality headphones it sounds pretty damn good. So overall, yeah, i like it =D
I don't care if there's rapping or not. Lights is amazing no matter what, and even if this is a little different, I love it, simply because it's Lights, and she is absolutely my idol. So stop complaining about it guys, because all this means is she's growing as an artist, and I'm going to stick with her no matter where that takes her. ♥♥♥
Lights listens to other rappers too like Aesop Rock, Sage Francis, k-os, and of course, Shad, so I'm just frickin amazed she made this collaboration happen. And with Holy Fuck too? Even crazier!
I loved the song, but I feel the rapping part was totally off, and it didn't fit with the rest of the song, like the sound and all, feels like she went all Rebecca Black and just went "ok 3 quarters through insert generic rapper here" Not saying he was a bad rapper, I'm just saying this wasn't that type of song. BTW I'm a HUGE Lights fan, so I'm not hating. I got her to autograph my "The Listening"! I'm getting the new album and getting it graphed too! hopefully.
@maxeenimuss I'm aware of this, but I'm saying for the most part the rap parts in those songs didn't seem out of place, where as rebecca black, she's singin about friday them BOOM out of nowhere there's rap, and that's how this kind of felt.
I think the song is amazing! She's and artist, and change is good. I think we're all just used to the light/synth-poppy Lights. The only thing that got me with this song was the cocaine reference at th :) end :$ But other than that, I think her new work is a new step in her music.
its different from what she usually does, but shes trying to expand i guess, i like it, i hope not all her new songs are similar to this song though, and can someone explain the cocaine reference to me.
Ill get the album, but Im thinking that this song will not be the hit :p hopefully itwill suck compared to the others. I didn't get butterflies in this song, like I did in almost all her other songs, the static is a cool change, but the rap feels to cliche/immature..
Oh yeah, and please don't give me "she's just trying new sounds, experimenting etc". Noise and static is not a 'new sound' and if someone thought THAT would bring something new and fresh, then they are really suffering from a marble deficiency.
Honestly, they really must have spent a long time trying to think that one up - "What can we do to liven this track up a bit? Yeah, I know, why don't we add the background noise from an untuned 1970s television set? " - UNBELIEVABLE!!
@GillisMusic lol, *complaining. BUT i agree that he needs to stop comlaining. rofl. i hear the music just fine. i barely hear the static. so do us a favor and STFU and GTFO? k. love you lights! (:
I don't mind the rap, it's the "dirty/static" noise that's doing my head in. It's far too over-powering. If that's the final mix then someone's really dropped the ball.
I like 'Lights' coz I'm a pretty big analog synth freak and she does have some cool sounds and I know that they are there somwhere in this record. You just can't hear them because of of all the fuzz..
It's not a solid, not a soft thing To pull the wool up like a smoke screen Nobody does it like a prophet It's gone before you know you lost it The worries round you keep your hands tied There's certain things you shouldn't have tried So if you've got it tell me something You better go from the beginning We all forget to sleep We crash at someone's feet Everybody skips a beat We let the chances pass The few we held so fast Everybody breaks a glass
Not sure if the distortion on the drums settle in as perfectly as I wanted them too, but I'm hearing some great, interesting sounds (dubstep/distorted breakdown). We'll see:) Can't wait for the rest of the album! I might try to remix this song in the meantime...
@LIGHTSFans2 Oh Dang I Was Kinda Scratching My Head When Shad And Holy F**k Started Rapping...Oh Well I Will Just Have To Get Use To The Rapping Part...Excited For The New Album Oh Yeah :D...And Can You Spread The Word That Everybody Should Change Their Profile Pictures In Twitter, Facebook And Other Social Networking Site To Any Lights Pictures...Thank You

he is truly all around skilled artist, complex rhymes with substance and great production to back it up, i highly recommend you give him a listen
