about

Inspired by the closing sign off to one of Amanda Palmer's emails to her Patreon patrons, what's going on in the world today, and my own struggles - personal as well as artistic - this song made it very clear to me that it had to be written. It's been a long road getting here and I couldn't be more humbled and proud. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Thank you so much for your support - it means the world <3

lyrics

May we touch those we love
When we both fall asleep
May we dance under the moon
Though our hearts know grief
May we strangle the tentacles so we can breathe
So we can breathe in deep
May we all live in the light
Tonight

May we all live in the light
In these dark times
May we listen to the howls
That go bump in the night
Knowing full well that they aren't always
As they seem
May we all live in the light
Tonight

May the words that spill from our lips
Most often be our own
May the face in the mirror
Be one we love
Not just skin and bone
May the fire of our hearts
Burn out the pain
So we can stand alone
May we all live in the light
Tonight

May we all live in the light
In these dark times
May we listen to the howls
That go bump in the night
Knowing full well that they aren't always
As they seem
May we all live in the light
Tonight

La dee da dee da dee da da da
La dee da dee da dee da da da

May we all live in the light
In these dark times
May we listen to the howls
That go bump in the night
Knowing full well that they aren't always
As they seem
May we all live in the light
Tonight

May we all live in the light
Tonight

May we all live in the light
Tonight

Simply put, Kina Grannis sings like an angel. If you haven't heard of her, you must. Her music warms my heart and her voice is beautiful and genuine. The world needs more artists like her. Christina Lazarakis

Piano Is Evil
by Amanda Palmer

Amanda Palmer is a major inspiration of mine. Her work is weird, eerie, and more often than not, I don't even like it. But, I so appreciate her process and her fearlessness and for that, I LOVE it. Christina Lazarakis
