    I was so scared that he would sound different live, like i didn't know whether his voice had been altered much in the song. Really happy to find that it's pretty much the same. Talented guy.

    Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
    Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
    Returning nightmares only shadows
    We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
    Crosses all over, heavy on your shoulders
    The sirens inside you waiting to step forward
    Disturbing silence darkens your sight
    We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
    Crosses all over the boulevard
    The streets outside your window overflooded
    People staring they know you've been broken
    Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces
    Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright
    We'll cast some light and you'll be alright

    Adore this song and Life is Strange. This song floored me as a teenager in my parents bedroom all those years ago and still had the same effect today as a full on adult. The Life is Strange series uses music in a way games don't and movies seldom do. It's infectious and thought provoking.
    Fingerstyle guitarists are something else. Frankly, I'm shocked this is a nylon guitar with how damn silky that bass line starts out.
    I can sing and strum chords but this is another level. A total disconnect of mind and body. So dope.

    Don't you know that
    I'll be around to guide you?
    Through your weakest moments
    To leave them behind you
    Returning nightmares
    Only shadows
    We'll cast some light and you'll be alright
    We'll cast some light and you'll be alright
    For now
    Crosses all over
    Heavy on your shoulders
    The sirens inside you
    Waiting to step forward
    Disturbing silence
    Darkens your sight
    We'll cast some light and you'll be alright
    We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
    Crosses all over the boulevard
    Crosses all over the boulevard
    Crosses all over the boulevard
    Crosses all over the boulevard
    The streets outside your window
    Over-flooded
    People staring
    They know you've been broken
    Repeatedly reminded
    By the looks on their faces
    Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright
    We'll cast some light and you'll be alright
