My best friend sent this to me on the day my daughter was born two months ago. I played it while rocking her back to sleep. It’s the first song she ever heard. Whenever I play it, it brings tears to my eyes. He does a great job of capturing the feeling of loving someone so completely, so wholly, that you want to make their journey through life as beautiful as possible while still wanting to never restrict their journey because of your own fears.
One of my favorite songs by SAL. 'I'll promise I'll do better' resonates more than I'd like to acknowledge. Thank you for this masterpiece, Ryan. Wish i could express how much your music heals. Your superfan from Pakistan.
Hi Ryan, your lyrics are so unbelievably poetical and your music is so emotional- for me it feels full of love, like you're running free through the fields with someone you truly love.
I can't find enough or right words to explain how much your music has healed me. Even the parts i didn't even realised needed healing. Sometimes i need some time to process the lyrics to their full capacity. Add the great music to that and it's like a compact miracle. I feel like the best and the most authentic version of myself after marathoning your music. I need that reminder of myself every now and then so i can ground myself steady to the realities i live in but keep peace with my own life. These never fail to do the trick. Wish you the happiest year you've ever lived and it to only get better in each coming year! ❤ and mine is off to a greay start already as I'm in a good mindset marathoning your music. Even if I've been listening to light for a long time now, each time it makes me feel like a new beginning. One of my favourites along with none other than saturn, neptune and pluto. Not that i don't like others, these are lyrical masterpieces to me. I'm oh so grateful for all the music you've been creating. Bless your beautiful mind, soul and heart!!! ❤
No other song can come close to this one when it comes to describing the love a parent feels when his or her child is born. I cry every time I here it. Love you forever Riley, Connor, and Caitlin!
The gorgeous green at the beginning of this video is a colour I've prayed for as a sign from God to remind me about a special part of my life, kinda like a secret code. This song has brought me to tears today and I feel very loved in this moment. I hope you know that your art is blessed with divine light and I'm grateful that you're sharing it with us. Thank you 💕
"I'll give you everything I have, I'll teach you everything I know." Never fails to make my eyes start to go watery. Love you guys 💜 (CP: 11/30/24 - 4:16pm)
Light Sleeping At Last Track 6 on Atlas: I Jun. 10, 2013 [Verse 1] May these words be the first to find your ears The world is brighter than the sun now that you're here Though your eyes will need some time to adjust To the overwhelming light surrounding us [Chorus] I'll give you everything I have I'll teach you everything I know I promise I'll do better I will always hold you close But I will learn to let you go I promise I'll do better I will soften every edge I'll hold the world to its best And I'll do better With every heartbeat I have left I will defend your every breath And I'll do better [Verse 2] 'Coz you are loved; you are loved more than you know I hereby pledge all of my days to prove it so Though your heart is far too young to realize [Chorus] I'll give you everything I have I'll teach you everything I know I promise I'll do better I will always hold you close But I will learn to let you go I promise I'll do better I will rearrange the stars Pull 'em down to where you are I promise I'll do better With every heartbeat I have left I'll defend your every breath I promise I'll do better I will soften every edge Hold the world to its best I promise I'll do better With every heartbeat I have left I'll defend your every breath
dear future child/ren, this captures what i’ve been longing to hear and feel from “them” all through my life up to this extent i don’t think it is possible anytime soon… or ever but i promise to do better to be this very thing i was deprived from for you
I'm also an Old who would read the lyrics from the CD case, and was always disappointed if they weren't included! Thank you so much for this. I very much like seeking out "official" lyric videos when available. :D
You were one of the artists I listened the most to in 2023, and I can easily believe that trend may continue on this year and in the future. Happy new year, may you and yours be joyful and blessed in 2024 ❤
Ryan, I was so delighted listening your song''Light''. I like to say, without any sycophancy, that your rare talent is ''the unimaginable light you hold'' in your generous and kind heart. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Gorgeous song. Hoping to see you on tour if I ever get a chance to pursue international studies. I thank you for working so tirelessly all these past years. Have a good one in 2024!
Una de las canciones con las que lo conocí primeramente; una obra maestra, hermosa y maravillosa canción, sin duda nunca dejará de ser esa canción con la que se puede sentir cada pizca de amor infinito. Felicidades Ryan y que este sea un excelente año para ti
Happy new year! Love your music so much❤ SAL is my most listened to artist in 2023😋 Thank you for the wonderful music to accompany my life, I treasure its purity and light so much! Its comforting, inspiring and beautiful. Keep making these heart warming art pieces!! I cant believe i found you in 2018ish and now you’ve really made my 2023 better! Your ability to tug at the heartstrings and move people is truly admirable and amazing! Sometimes its peace, and other times its reassurance, whatever it is, you deliver it wonderfully and im so glad your music has somehow made it to my ears for me to experience
My aunt is having a baby this year and I love that little one more than anything. I love this baby’s big sister and would do anything for either of my baby cousins. This song captures that so well. I cannot wait to hold my new cousin for the first time. I already love you to death, sweet angel. You are loved more than you know. With every heartbeat I have left, I will defend your every breath. Gah, these lyrics are perfect.
I wrote this story...Descent, about a girl who felt shackles hy her past, responsibilities and family. But she realizes through her life... Family, home, shouldn't make you feel shackled. Sure, you'll feel restrained, but its their reassuring arms around you that you shouldn't try to get away from. Instead, guide each other. Her old family was wrong, yes. But they care about her and want her back. She wants to be back. Safe at last 💙

I’m 15 weeks pregnant and i can’t wait till my baby comes. I promise to do everything right by her Update: it’s April 6 and I’m 29 weeks 2days pregnant. Baby’s healthy and kicks when I play this song up to my belly. She’s so strong and beautiful even on ultrasound. If you’re wondering her name is Roseanne pronounced rose-anne Update: it’s may 15. I’m 34+5 weeks pregnant. I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes but we’re still doing good. She still kicks and fights inside me everyday. I thank god every day that she’s made it this far. It’s a privilege to be kicked in my cervix by you 🩵 even if it does suck 😂
Happy New Year all, let's hope 2024 is a good one, full of music by Sleeping at Last, much love :) x
Happy New Year ✨
Ditto!
Cheers to 2024
You too ✨
You are like the only positive sleeping at last listener I’ve seen

All of SALs songs have such ethereal lyrics, and I always need to listen multiple times to really take them in fully. Happy New Year everyone!!
Didn't understand that song. Now that I hold her in my arms. Nothing is brighter. Not the sun not the stars. Nothing is more fascinating.
Those gorgeous lyrics!! beautiful video x

Sleeping At Last
Track 6 on Atlas: I
Jun. 10, 2013
[Verse 1]
May these words be the first to find your ears
The world is brighter than the sun now that you're here
Though your eyes will need some time to adjust
To the overwhelming light surrounding us
[Chorus]
I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
I'll hold the world to its best
And I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I will defend your every breath
And I'll do better
[Verse 2]
'Coz you are loved; you are loved more than you know
I hereby pledge all of my days to prove it so
Though your heart is far too young to realize
[Chorus]
I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will rearrange the stars
Pull 'em down to where you are
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
Hold the world to its best
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
This song, it does something to me. Makes me feel so deeply, makes me cry, makes me yearn🤎
dear future child/ren,
this captures what i’ve been longing to hear and feel from “them” all through my life up to this extent
i don’t think it is possible anytime soon… or ever
but i promise to do better to be this very thing i was deprived from for you
i love this. it spoke to me.
this song and saturn have always meant a lot to me
👊✨

Portion of my feelings for my daughter is in this song.
Puffs should be the official sponsor for this band since every song just makes me reach for a box of tissues 😭😅
