'Light' - Sleeping At Last (Micro Music Video)

What's a "Micro Music Video"? A tiny, simple and hypnotizing video accompaniment to my songs. Rather than seeing a static image, I loved the idea of having a visual to get lost in while listening.

Lyrics:
May these words be the first
To find your ears.

The world is brighter than the sun
Now that you’re here.

Though your eyes will need some time to adjust
To the overwhelming light surrounding us,

I’ll give you everything I have.
I’ll teach you everything I know.
I promise I’ll do better.
I will always hold you close,
But I will learn to let you go.
I promise I’ll do better.
I will soften every edge,
I’ll hold the world to its best,
And I’ll do better.
With every heartbeat I have left
I will defend your every breath,
And I’ll do better.

’Cause you are loved.
You are loved more than you know.

I hereby pledge all of my days
To prove it so.

Though your heart is far too young to realize
The unimaginable light you hold inside,

I’ll give you everything I have.
I’ll teach you everything I know.
I promise I’ll do better.
I will always hold you close,
But I will learn to let you go.
I promise I’ll do better.
I will rearrange the stars,
Pull ‘em down to where you are.
I promise, I’ll do better.
With every heartbeat I have left,
I’ll defend your every breath.
I promise I’ll do better.
I will soften every edge,
Hold the world to its best.
I promise I’ll do better.
With every heartbeat I have left,
I’ll defend your every breath,
(I’ll do better.)

Sounds like the memories you never had

The way I view Sleeping at Last is that after a bad episode of panic / anxiety / depression, laying in your bed in the dark, there is hope of sleeping.

At last.

"I promise, I’ll do better"

This song makes me want to get better in my life. Thank you

[michelletrust]

This sounds like all the love letters historians have sent, the heartbeat of a person who just realized they are in love, someone who looked up at the sun and smiling, a couple sharing their first kiss under the stars, how jack felt about rose, when a baby is born, when someone is given the news they are free of cancer, the feeling of release and renewal. This song sounds like my feelings for you. This is my heart in one song and my heart only beats for you.

"I will always hold you close but I will learn to let you go" everything I ever wanted.

Sleeping at last is that hug that everybody needs after crying. Their music tells you there’s hope and everything will be ok even if it doesn’t seem like it.

[hennybee]

I have always thought of this song from a parent to a child. It’s beautiful

[pineapple]

This the closest I'll ever be to magic.

Sometimes when we do not find the words, the music does. This video is the proof

Hi! I have synesthesia, where many of my senses merge together. Primarily, I associate sound and color, as well as sound and touch. This is what I feel/see when i listen to this song.
The music is purely yellow. His voice, though, goes from blue to green. He doesn’t know how to feel about this new thing, he has lost something in order to gain something new. The light dances around him and his new *daughter, lets say. He looks into her eyes, orange, and his voice gains hope- the yellow mixing in for green. The music feels like a void- and the only thing there with you is the dancing lights and the daughter and father.

May these words be the first
To find your ears
The world is brighter than the sun
Now that you're here
Though your eyes will need some time to adjust
To the overwhelming light surrounding us
I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
I'll hold the world to it's best
And I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I will defend your every breath
And I'll do better
'Сause you are loved
You are loved more than you know
I hereby pledge all of my days
To prove it so
Though your heart is far too young to realize
The unimaginable light you hold inside
I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will rearrange the stars
Pull 'em down to where you are
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
Hold the world to it's best
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath

no talk about sex, or drugs, just pure emotion. so happy i found this

[mordecaigabriel]

"The world is brighter now that you're here" hearing that is never not comforting

[starlegends]

Okey, My sister recomended this channel and I’ve been having a hard time and I am crying what is this magic? These lyrocs I’ve heard from the 2 lyrical songs I’ve heard so afr are the truths I knew inside I wished everyone could know. Also whenever I look at light like that I keep wanting to go to it imagining that God is within the light. Like i wish I could be with Him. Thanks!! Your awsome I am totally a new fan but it’s not about that, it’s about God He is love and the light of all this positivity

[semaredor]

"You are loved more than you know".


                           oh  im crying

[maskra]

This simply reminds me of the love I felt when my baby was born. Pure love and light ✨️

[taniagonzalez]

I have met Sleeping at last with the song called "Saturn" I have never felt travelling over the universe like that first moment I heard it. When everything seems to be finished, your music reminds me to try again. That's the magical, powerful and important your music is for me. Thanks

“I’ll do better.”

Growing up being distant from my parents, this is exactly what I want to say to my children when they’re here. All of my thoughts beautifully expressed in this 4:18 long piece of magic. 💙

[vanessaa.]

You sir, have created one grandiose beauty ❤

"You are loved more than you know"
Saved my life in more ways than one. Thank you.
