LYRICS (from the Tally Hallmanac) We ought to leave a light on, leave a light on underneath the moon Sitting in the sight of every eye, I believe in you Open your window, look out and see me Slow though I'm coming a long way to be An accidental light on Such as I am, mother's only son Ever is the light on, is the light on Ever meant to run Cold out, you're outside I'm waiting to see Glow in the snow coming closer to me Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight The left and the right is too gray in the night And I want to be like you are the one bright I want to see eyes A-better when the light comes in the night I'm opening the door Hoping to be right, it's open every night So whatcha waiting for? Open your window look out and see me Slow though I'm coming a long way to be (flee?) Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight The left and the right is too gray in the night And I want to be like you are the one bright I want to see eyes Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight The left and the right is too gray in the night And I want to be like you are the one bright I want to see eyes
@@Im_justhere I'm shocked because your timing, I was nearing the end of the mind electric and I see a noti and I was flabbergasted :') also can't believe it's been 2 years already 🥲
Having jus5 the piano really makes it perfect, i do love the finalize version of the song but something about having just the piano with the singing really gets me
it sounds like it, and besides zubin usually sings backup for rob or joe when he isnt singing by himself. i dont hear joe singing backup for rob very often

this version sounds more an like anxiety ridden villain singing his little song
Well put!
this comment has fundamentally changed my way of thinking this is such a cool concept
"I want to see...eYES-"
I love this version, but this part always makes me chuckle-
Lmao hagdha same
I like the beginning of this version, it's very lively
"I want to see 👁👀👁👀👁👀👁👀👁👀"
Truely inspirational, thank you Rob.
Ahhh kos, or some say kosm
Grant us eyes, GRANT US EYES
OHHHHH, MAJESTIC! A hunter is a hunter, even in a dream!
EEEEYESSSS
An early demo of the song “Light and Night” by Tally Hall. It was released on their 2015 archival album, “Admittedly Incomplete Demos”.
the final song was released as a free download in 2009
@@hri7566 It was actually provided as a free download if you bought the book The Magicians Elephant in 2009.

she keeps on feeding, while I am conceding
If it wasn't for the obviously incomplete chorus, this would be my favorite version of Light & Night.
LYRICS (from the Tally Hallmanac)
We ought to leave a light on, leave a light on underneath the moon
Sitting in the sight of every eye, I believe in you
Open your window, look out and see me
Slow though I'm coming a long way to be
An accidental light on
Such as I am, mother's only son
Ever is the light on, is the light on
Ever meant to run
Cold out, you're outside I'm waiting to see
Glow in the snow coming closer to me
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
The left and the right is too gray in the night
And I want to be like you are the one bright
I want to see eyes
A-better when the light comes in the night I'm opening the door
Hoping to be right, it's open every night
So whatcha waiting for?
Open your window look out and see me
Slow though I'm coming a long way to be (flee?)
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
The left and the right is too gray in the night
And I want to be like you are the one bright
I want to see eyes
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
The left and the right is too gray in the night
And I want to be like you are the one bright
I want to see eyes
hi lemonsmug i didn't expect you to be here
I really like this, hopefully if there is ever a third Tally Hall album a full version of this song is made
I mean, isn’t the The Magician’s Elephant release version technically the full version of the song?
@@punchylocalhivemind34 The what version?
Tyson Fontanez ua-cam.com/video/wkTbjAIgHEI/v-deo.html Here you are.
@@tysonfontanez The Magician's Elephant is an audiobook. The song was made for the audiobook.
Can anyone link this interview?
This was taken down, but I'm glad that it's back up!
I seriously needed this demo :)
just find it on their bandcamp
I really like this version better. It feels more comforting if that makes any sense
Calming if you look at it right?

This is in a different key and i’m so glad that they changed it
The begging of this song reminded me of Everything At Once by Lenka
When it started autoplaying I seriously thought that’s what it was gonna be
whenever i wanna draw i draw what this song feels like. it involved windows, apparentally.
Can’t wait to see Chonny’s cover of this one.
Me either!
He just did and it's great
using a time machine (you've been waiting forever) to tell you it's good
@@syvvieon ohh live the dream with a time machine

god!!! this smacks!! is that zubin singing backup?
it sounds like it, and besides zubin usually sings backup for rob or joe when he isnt singing by himself. i dont hear joe singing backup for rob very often
@@shasta_le_babthank you for the tally knowledge
i love the harmony on this song!!

Didn’t they kinda finish this tho? Little Speck Archive uploaded another recording they did of this.
I mean yes, most demos get completed.
Parts of it sound a lot like cannibal
The piano at 1:04 kinda sounds like it
@@GabrielaMilleo other comments say it also sounds like the mind electric. interesting
It could be a mix between the two
@@smugdrag0n Or it's just our minds doing the thing it does and looking for patterns.
@@tuser8 most likely
woohoo
agreed
Zubin or joe
I’m pretty sure that’s Rob
It's Rob
100% Rob
Rob singing for the most part, with Zubin on backing vocals.
its rob
