WHEN SHE SUNG THE “IN THE DARKK” I GOT CHILLS HER VOICE IS SO SOOTHING AND ANGELIC

[luminousluma]

She wasn't joking about the background vocals, the way they merge with the lead vocals creates such a powerful yet melancholic sound.

[ilikek-pop]

I don't want a friend (just me)
I want my life in two (my life in two)
Just one more night
Waiting to get there
Waiting for you (all night)
I'm done fighting all night (waiting for you)
When I'm around slow dancing in the dark
Don't follow me, you'll end up in my arms
You have made up your mind
I don't need no more signs
Can you?
Can you?
Give me reasons we should be complete
You should be with him, I can't compete
You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well
Can't you see? (Can't you see?)
I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance)
In the dark
Dark
When you gotta run
Just hear my voice in you (my voice in you)
Shutting me out of you (shutting me out of you)
Doing so great (so great, so great)
You
Used to be the one (used to be the one)
To hold you when you fall
Yeah, yeah, yeah (when you fall, when you fall)
I don't fuck with your tone (I don't fuck with your tone)
I don't wanna go home (I don't wanna go home)
Can it be one night?
Can you?
Can you?
Give me reasons we should be complete
You should be with him, I can't compete
You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well
Can't you see?
I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance)
In the dark
Dark
In the dark
Dark

[mikabates]

This is so magical. The thing I love about her voice is that there is so much depth and emotion. It gives such a peaceful and pure vibe. Love you Lyn <3

[jemplayer]

I was not expecting such a warm and smokey voice. And the vocal layering is wild. You're building crazy landscapes of sound.

[evanxstar]

This video reminds me so much of why I love Lyn

[Shiro-pigy]

why are you still so underrated with that gem of a voice you have

[royalleftist]

Oh, Lyn Lapid... you never fail to make my heart cry.

I don't want a friend (just me)
I want my life in two (my life in two)
Waiting to get there
Waiting for you (all night)

When I'm around slow dancing in the dark
Don't follow me, you'll end up in my arms
You have made up your mind
I don't need no more signs

You should be with him, I can't compete
You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well
Can't you see? (Can't you see?)
I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance)
In the dark
