It's funny because I wasn't at all a fan of her until a friend posted her "Savior" video on youtube sometime in early 2011. I think it was just chance that I connected to the lyrics like a magnet. It took a long while before I really listened to any of her other songs, however I would play "Savior" on repeat....constantly.
When her her album Siberia dropped last fall I went to see her for the first time. I was in a lot of emotional turmoil back then and I think I really needed her music for strength. I brought the guy I was seeing with me-someone that was really unhealthy for me-and I ended up not having as much fun as I should have. I've always been a loner when it comes to concerts so I felt really restrained because I was pretending to be a girl that I'm not.
Since that time, I've had many relationships come and go, all for the better. I'm currently in a happy place and it was the perfect time so see Lights again. I felt like this concert really was the other bookend to a difficult time in my life. New beginnings come out of old endings, after all.
The last song in her set I had never heard before and I think it was very fitting. It's called "In the Dark I See." Here's her playing it acoustically if you want to hear. And her room looks super cute!
"I know I lose my heart so easily, trying to show the best of me"
I don't have a person like in this song; I'd like to think I have many.
