imagine being there. imagine hearing all the subtle cracks in her voice, seeing every emotion on her face. imagine being in the presence of such a powerful entity, imagine feeling all of this firsthand. i can't even comprehend how beautiful she must be live...
Auburn Kelton honestly more than i could’ve possibly imagined. she came out after the show just to meet me too, she’s so sweet and humble i was in awe.
reading this 6 years later and first of all, I'm so psyched you got to see her (I am in 2 months and I'm hyped~) but also, I love that you referred to her as "such a powerful entity". that's badass.
can't tell you how many times i've listened to this song, it hits home. music is a large part of my life, but there are few songs that perfectly convey the certain peace i find here. fuck yeah, julien.
Thanks for uploading this. There are precious few live videos of this song on YT, seems like she hasn't played it that often on her recent tour. Interesting to see it in what must've been quite an early state, with guitar instead of the album version''s piano. I actually prefer this to the album version - it's a bit less polished but almost unbearably emotionally intense.
I worked out the lyrics (probably not completely correctly!) to make this easier for me to learn on the piano. Probably nobody cares, but I might as well post them here anyway: What is it like to be empty Full of only echoes and my body caving in A cathedral of broken ribs Heaving out the ... hymns Thought I'd made out your reply And the seconds between sound and light And I don't think that you're as far As my friends tell me that you are ooh With my cheek to the porcelain floor I wished I would wash up face down on a golden shore And I could've sworn the sirens were the Holy ghost just speaking in morse code Cause from a distance, light from stars Leaking from pierced arms Could be entry wounds or puncture marks Beneath the perforated dark ooh... So Lord, Lord, Lord Is there some way to make it stop Cause nothing that I do has ever helped to turn it off And everything supposed to help me sleep at night Don't help me sleep So tell me Lord, Lord, Lord Is there some way to make it stop Cause nothing that I do has ever helped to turn it off And everything supposed to help me sleep at night Don't help me sleep Any more
Definitely. I always feel a bit obsessive working out all the words but I feel like the songs have so much more impact when you know what they're about, haha
this is such a beautiful song but like so sad and like how sad would she have had to have been to write this and i know you're meant to think of songs as separate from the people who write them but i can't and it's making me sad to think how sad she must have had to have been to come up with this :(

Auburn Kelton honestly more than i could’ve possibly imagined. she came out after the show just to meet me too, she’s so sweet and humble i was in awe.
what! how cool, that's super dope

Her voice is so beautiful and soulful. Every word drips with meaning. I honestly can't get enough of her! Soul touching lyrics

Floored by this. Looking forward to the next album.
It's pretty cool to hear this, knowing what the song evolved into on 'Turn Out the Lights.'
This needs to be put on Spotify officially or I might cry.
Skye Rose me too

totally agree. i thought, i was the only one prefering this live version to the piano version.
so amazing omg I wish I was there

What is it like to be empty
Full of only echoes and my body caving in
A cathedral of broken ribs
Heaving out the ... hymns
Thought I'd made out your reply
And the seconds between sound and light
And I don't think that you're as far
As my friends tell me that you are
ooh
With my cheek to the porcelain floor I wished I
would wash up face down on a golden shore
And I could've sworn the sirens were the
Holy ghost just speaking in morse code
Cause from a distance, light from stars
Leaking from pierced arms
Could be entry wounds or puncture marks
Beneath the perforated dark
ooh...
So Lord, Lord, Lord
Is there some way to make it stop
Cause nothing that I do has ever helped to turn it off
And everything supposed to help me sleep at night
Don't help me sleep
So tell me Lord, Lord, Lord
Is there some way to make it stop
Cause nothing that I do has ever helped to turn it off
And everything supposed to help me sleep at night
Don't help me sleep
Any more
I think you got the lyrics spot on Sophie. As usual this wonderful human being kills me with the simplest words.
Excellent job, thanks so much for taking the time to do this.
Thank you for doing this! Her lyrics are so poignant for such a young lady. Bless her!! Really touches your soul
Definitely. I always feel a bit obsessive working out all the words but I feel like the songs have so much more impact when you know what they're about, haha
Wow. I'm floored at how spot on you are with these lyrics! Thank you!

That hurt.
seriously… this sent me
i think this may be on her new album. i’m not sure but she may have retitled it “Everything That Helps You Sleep”..
I'll change it after I hear to make sure.
Loring Wirbel not sure if you remembered, but it’s now released and it’s the same song !
What's the title? Haven't picked up the album yet!
Loring Wirbel “Everything That Helps You Sleep”!
Done, thanks!
