Saviour (3:30)

Cover of The Listening

From The Listening and 2 other releases

The first single off of Lights debut full length due out in September.
Saviour is a propulsive pop ballad that represents the essence of Lights. “My songs are spawned from moments of sadness or intense emotion,” the singer says. “‘Saviour’ is a big example of taking one of those really dark emotional situations and turning it into something positive. I just happened to get hit with a really dark sad night. The melody started coming together and the words started pouring out. I was crying when I wrote the first line of the chorus and it actually sounds kind of like crying. It’s a really, really powerful song for me.”

Send ‘Saviour’ Ringtone to Cell

The night is deafening
When the silence is listening
And I'm down on my knees
And I know that something is missing

    the chorus is amazing, but i don't like the autotune in the verse.

    I love this song, but does it remind anybody else of that voice that talks to you in the game of Portal?

    it is beyond me how i could have skipped through this when i first listened to it ages ago; i hate when i don't like a song on first listen then months later give it a second go and find it amazing.. -_-
