I love how she can have a really good electropop song and then when she does an acoustic, its like the song is stripped to its raw essence. The acoustic really touches your soul more
there are people out there who say Lights uses too much auto tune, to which I can say "listen to her acoustics" because she is incredibly talented and I do go postal on anybody who says otherwise but I can work on that.
Gracie Vallee If you're going to get bitchy about semantics, you didn't specify any album by name. You weren't clear on that, therefore my comment still stands.
For the people saying she uses too much autotune, what do you expect? Her genre is ELECTROPOP. It kinda comes with the genre. She's an extremely talented composer as well as has a magnificent voice.
call me stupid, bit i don't notice that much autotune in her music. She uses it in The Listening and a few songs on Siberia but for the most part she doesn't, especially not in her live performances. Maybe I just don't hear it. Still, it's a dumb complaint.
I've followed her since Siberia dropped and instantly fell in love, I remember seeing the album cover in the old Windows Phone marketplace and decided to give it a listen. I was hooked. Seeing her journey and supporting her the entire way and growing together over the years has been a blessing. Skin and Earth is your latest masterpiece, which I love dearly. But I'm just now finding this video for the first time, watching it here in bed in the dark, and I teared up. I'm a 25 year old man with a beard and I cried, I fell in love all over again. It's been a long journey hasn't it Lights, but we're here. We're still kicking. You're so appreciated, and we love you dearly. Thank you for being the most fantastic little machine with the brightest soul.
Spoken like a true fan. I couldn’t have said it better. Her very very first album is the one I jumped on with February air and to see her grow from that on UA-cam to watch she is now to walk into a Walmart and hear Giants playing over the speakers I am so excited I could scream just for the exposure for her. She is so incredibly talented and actually another artist that’s incredibly talented that gets shit for her autotune as well as Kesha. When you hear her do acoustics she writes her music I mean she’s life her voice is incredible autotune is merely a tool that people use for the genre doesn’t mean she can’t sing. Same with lights. When I met lights at a show she was the sweetest most genuine down to earth girl and she had rocket with her and they’re both just as adorable in person. She is a gracious talented woman and I’m incredibly blessed to have her music in my life. I did a painting of herAnd I gave it to her. I wish I had a copy of it now. I painted the skin and earth one of the comic covers. She loved it it was like Christmas for her she was so grateful. Again I say a very down to earth cool chick and I’ll support her every step of the way from here to eternity
ughhh i cant wait for the midnight machines version of this !!! meteorites was absolutely beautiful...we can only sit back and wait for the masterpiece
I've watched this video at least 3-5 times a week for the past year now.... I still to this day get chills....This is so raw and perfect.... I absolutely love it.
[Verse 1] After having spent a fast year Waiting for the next time I can get you close I grew used to being back here Like a chorus synth line soldier at his post You call and I respond, the sparrow and the song I miss you when you're gone [Chorus 1] When I am alone, I see you in the dark I talk into the empty like you were with me Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light Noticing a reflex taking over me I see you and I reach, muscle memory [Verse 2] Again, off into the next fall I am on the back steps trying to let you in See you standing in the front hall Maybe this is madness underneath my skin Guess love is a response of the body it haunts And we do what it wants [Chorus 2] When I am alone, I see you in the dark I talk into the empty like you were with me Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light Noticing a reflex taking over me I see you and I reach, muscle memory I feel you endlessly, muscle memory [Bridge] When I feel the chains of a thousand words And I speak your name like I know you heard I can feel you there, I can hear you move And it moves me too When I'm playing games and I'm drinking wine And I see your glass sitting next to mine I can feel you there when you're not at home Like I'm not alone [Chorus 2] When I am alone, I see you in the dark I talk into the empty like you were with me Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light Noticing a reflex taking over me I see you and I reach, muscle memory I feel you endlessly, muscle memory
The quality of my life will increase ten-fold if a full album of Little Machines is released as an acoustic version. Your acoustic albums are like no other and the very sound of each and every acoustic song of yours penetrating my eardrums will entirely dispel any sadness coursing though me. Your voice is love. Your voice is life.
This is incredibly beautiful. I've been a fan of Lights for 4 years and each time I hear her sing, I notice that she becomes better. Her growth has been a pleasure to experience and you can truly see it in this video. I love the intensity of this acoustic version, a delight to my ears!
After having spent a fast year Waiting for the next time I can get you close I grew used to being back here Like a chorus and rhyme, soldier at his post You call and I respond The sparrow and the song I miss you when you're gone When I am alone, I See you in the dark, I Talk into the empty Like you were with me Started on a cold night Felt you in the low light Noticing the reflex Taking over me I see you when I reach Muscle memory Again, off into the next fall I am on the back steps tryin' to let you in See you standin' in the front hall Maybe this is madness underneath my skin Guess the misery spawns Or the body it haunts And we do what it wants When I am alone, I See you in the dark, I Talk into the empty Like you were with me Started on a cold night Felt you in the low light Noticing the reflex Taking over me I see you when I reach Muscle memory I feel you when I sleep Muscle memory When you feel the chains Of a thousand words And I speak your name Like I know you heard I can feel you there I can hear you move And it moves me, too When I'm playin' games When I'm drinkin' wine And I see your glass Sittin' next to mine I can feel you there When you're not at home Like I'm not alone When I am alone, I See you in the dark, I Talk into the empty Like you were with me Started on a cold night Felt you in the low light Noticing the reflex Taking over me I see you when I reach Muscle memory I feel you when I sleep Muscle memory
this breaks my heart. I can only imagine what she went through being away from her love. I just feel her emotion when she sings & the lyrics are so raw/ truthful. It's just ughhhh
With all due respect to the electric albums, and they're good, I really feel like her acoustic work is her best. It really brings out a more personal side to the songs, like a late night drive on a lone road.
You never fail to leave me in awe Lights. I like your pop/electro stuff, but there is something so special when its just you and your guitar. The acoustic versions hits me hard. Such beauty & purity in your voice, always breathtaking. Magical.

I'm here in 2023 with this song giving me muscle memory of 2015 🥺❤️
2024 checkin in under new era replaying all her songs always
This is still one of my favorite videos of her performing
I love how she can have a really good electropop song and then when she does an acoustic, its like the song is stripped to its raw essence. The acoustic really touches your soul more
Just watched the 'Joshua Tree' electro and am now watching this.
She really excels when stripped down.
@@kevinwilson455Just curious, do you have a preference?
there are people out there who say Lights uses too much auto tune, to which I can say "listen to her acoustics" because she is incredibly talented and I do go postal on anybody who says otherwise but I can work on that.
you're right - i first listened to her acoustic videos because I didn't think she could sound like she does without autotune.. boy was I wrong haha
in all honesty I first listened to the Cactus In The Valley acoustic because of Adam Young being in it but I think Lights is amazing either way
She doesn't use autotune on her latest album, though...
eaux kei well then that would explain why I didn't say anything about Little Machines, hm?

+stolenbaby2008 i went to OneRepublic and she sang before there performance, she sounded just the same, i don't know about you but she is awesome.
If you listen to her speak that magical way she sounds is actually just her voice
she has no auto tune. only in some songs does she have male back up singers its called HARMONY its in all music
Man, she just sang her heart out right here.
That run at 2:55, incredible!
That was such a beautiful moment of vulnerability at the end where you see her FEEL the song and what it really means to her. So wonderful!
She’s such a beautiful human
Favorite part

When I need a role model, I look up to Lights.
I've been listening to Lights for about 2 hrs.
Not complaining. Love her voice
She's my favorite singer ever
Beautiful lightsy. So much purity & vulnerability in your voice & songwriting. Thank you.
This is a woman who loves what she does. And we love what she does. & her soul loves what she does. 💚 Thank you for the stories Lights 💙
3:15 always gives me chills. The pause into that pitch oh man.
This is still my favorite performance of this song. It literally brings me to tears. I'm so grateful for her music. 😭😭😭
One of the few artists that can immediately make me emotional on a single note. Fucking incredible!
I come back to the performance because it's so beautiful 😭
This acoustic sounds even better than the original. Love it!
Agree. Her acoustic stuff is awesome.
Preach girl. The song of long distance relationships. I love this girl. Check out her live version of Suspension!!! Literally shiver inducing.
So... many... chills... every... single... time...
ughhh i cant wait for the midnight machines version of this !!! meteorites was absolutely beautiful...we can only sit back and wait for the masterpiece
+Jessica Fungster i knooow :D
cannot wait!!!
This version is better imo. I always come back to it.
I want acoustic Little Machines
also known as a ukulele
slaya771 lel
slaya771 wtf
I have granted your wish :D
I've watched this video at least 3-5 times a week for the past year now.... I still to this day get chills....This is so raw and perfect.... I absolutely love it.
Every note that she sings is treated with such care! Every crack, every raise in the notes, every accent on the syllables. It's perfect.
[Verse 1]
After having spent a fast year
Waiting for the next time I can get you close
I grew used to being back here
Like a chorus synth line soldier at his post
You call and I respond, the sparrow and the song
I miss you when you're gone
[Chorus 1]
When I am alone, I see you in the dark
I talk into the empty like you were with me
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
Noticing a reflex taking over me
I see you and I reach, muscle memory
[Verse 2]
Again, off into the next fall
I am on the back steps trying to let you in
See you standing in the front hall
Maybe this is madness underneath my skin
Guess love is a response of the body it haunts
And we do what it wants
[Chorus 2]
When I am alone, I see you in the dark
I talk into the empty like you were with me
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
Noticing a reflex taking over me
I see you and I reach, muscle memory
I feel you endlessly, muscle memory
[Bridge]
When I feel the chains of a thousand words
And I speak your name like I know you heard
I can feel you there, I can hear you move
And it moves me too
When I'm playing games and I'm drinking wine
And I see your glass sitting next to mine
I can feel you there when you're not at home
Like I'm not alone
[Chorus 2]
When I am alone, I see you in the dark
I talk into the empty like you were with me
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
Noticing a reflex taking over me
I see you and I reach, muscle memory
I feel you endlessly, muscle memory

4 years later I'm still in love with this song and all of acoustics.

I've replayed this so many times for so many years that when they both say HI at the end in sync.. I DO TOO.
she has always been my favourite, and always will!!!
I need more of her songs ... Where is she now ??
You guys, Little Machines is so damn good.
And this is one of my favorite tracks.
tear jerking
Her voice sounds so good 💖
This was already one of my favorite songs on her new album, and now this has made me fall in love all over again
I'm so addicted to this song
I teared up so bad
After having spent a fast year
Waiting for the next time I can get you close
I grew used to being back here
Like a chorus and rhyme, soldier at his post
You call and I respond
The sparrow and the song
I miss you when you're gone
When I am alone, I
See you in the dark, I
Talk into the empty
Like you were with me
Started on a cold night
Felt you in the low light
Noticing the reflex
Taking over me
I see you when I reach
Muscle memory
Again, off into the next fall
I am on the back steps tryin' to let you in
See you standin' in the front hall
Maybe this is madness underneath my skin
Guess the misery spawns
Or the body it haunts
And we do what it wants
When I am alone, I
See you in the dark, I
Talk into the empty
Like you were with me
Started on a cold night
Felt you in the low light
Noticing the reflex
Taking over me
I see you when I reach
Muscle memory
I feel you when I sleep
Muscle memory
When you feel the chains
Of a thousand words
And I speak your name
Like I know you heard
I can feel you there
I can hear you move
And it moves me, too
When I'm playin' games
When I'm drinkin' wine
And I see your glass
Sittin' next to mine
I can feel you there
When you're not at home
Like I'm not alone
When I am alone, I
See you in the dark, I
Talk into the empty
Like you were with me
Started on a cold night
Felt you in the low light
Noticing the reflex
Taking over me
I see you when I reach
Muscle memory
I feel you when I sleep
Muscle memory
All i can say is wow, she is an amazing singer!
Oh my God, Lights - this is so amazing! Your voice is so powerful!! Please God please please PLEASE put this on iTunes!
Muscle Memory is my favorite of the new Little Machines album. I'm sad I missed the Chicago tour stop. :/

Still one of my favorite voices for years.
I love this version. Such passions when she sings.
Beau is so lucky to have a genuine lady like lights in her lifeeee
This girls rocks!
Love her music😊
this breaks my heart. I can only imagine what she went through being away from her love. I just feel her emotion when she sings & the lyrics are so raw/ truthful. It's just ughhhh
This is the perfect song for when my husband is gone. He works on dry bulk carriers and is usually gone for 3 months at a time. It gets tough.
During the Pandemic, this hits different 🖤💜🖤
she never fails to amaze me even after all these years of being a fan. she's unbelievably amazing.
This is freakish perfect. Totally makes this song so deep. You've matured so beautifully. Just died.
Gives me chills everytime😌
Her acoustic versions are my favorites.
