Think my favorite new Lights song is Toes.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Really like Where The Fence Is Low, not sure what I think of Everybody Breaks A Glass. Just from live videos, so this will probably change...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Guess I'll listen to that I Owe You One acoustic...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I need a White acoustic.

I hate this computer. Even the second time I typed something it ate most of the letters. No second go :(

Anyways, this was the remix I forgot about listening to because I couldn't find it anywhere! Glad I finally got to hear it.

"Second Go" is the fourth single from Canadian singer-songwriter Lights debut album The Listening. It was released on February 16, 2009 in the United States.

Yay Wikipedia. I wonder if anyone's uploaded the cover to Last.fm (PNG only!) I would if I could find a good enough version of it...Also, I hate when people upload fanmade covers. Voting those down forever...I should probably report them, but I'm not really into that. I only do that if the site has +4 pages of the same image uploaded by the site/label. That happened with Crash Love...

Music video

The video follows Lights going through a plain white house, painting it through out the video with various colours. This is the first video since the release of her EP that she has not gone with a space theme. The video was shot in only one take. The video premiered on MuchMusic on May 13th 2010.

The video someone made for the remix

"My Boots" is the first single from Canadian singer-songwriter Lights' upcoming album. It was released on October 11, 2010 digitally in Canada[1], and it is expected to be released on October 19, 2010 in the US and the UK.[2] It is a song about Lights' love of Winter. On October 12, 2010, Lights Tweeted, "it'll be on the new record, but I'm not done it yet lol. Needs... More... Time..." Lights said in an interview that the second full-length album was supposed to "come out in August, but I'm not supposed to tell you that."

Lol.

The song is the lead single from her second untitled album. Quoted from Jess Kotanen, Lights' sister on the Official Lights Message Boards:

"Lights was writing in northern Ontario last winter and looking out the window, she realized how much she missed winter (you don't really get it in Toronto). She had to drop everything and frolic outside with a dog and she got so excited about that experience that she walked back inside and wrote a song about it."[3]

I remember reading this post!

It seems weird seeing this kind of stuff on Wikipedia...

Alternative cover

And this is the right cover for this song...well, for the remix. Other is fanmade.

The beginning portion of the video was done by herself. She worked on all the props herself at her house for a week. The monsters are played by Maurie Kaufmann and Adam Weaver, her two live musicians.

The video for "Ice" consists mostly of two scenes. The first features a 2D cutout figured of Lights and two monsters. It shows Lights walking along a street texting her boyfriend sad faces and sorry notes. The monsters, one purple and one yellow, jump out of several cardboard boxes and begin chasing Lights who flees to her house. Her house is actually a mini-replica of the room shown in "February Air" and "Drive My Soul". The cutouts are all operated by Lights herself.

Lights is then seen with new confidence and she comes out to face the monsters, resulting in her fighting and knocking them down. This part of the video gradually transitions to show only scenes of Lights in person with two life sized monsters, imitating the cutouts. She defeats both of the monsters and exits the scene texting again.

I never noticed this...

I fixed my clock, so it's no longer an hour out... For some reason, the only button that works on it is the reset button, so you have to time it, and I always forget to do that...

Music video

The song has been featured in a series of Old Navy commercials along with several other Lights songs. It is currently the only video released for it. It centers a young woman who is at a dance club with her friends. She gets a call on her cell phone and seems to be arguing with someone (presumably her boyfriend). The bartender sees this and slides her a drink to cheer her up. Her friends try to keep her mind off the phone, but no matter what they do, she can't stop waiting for a call. Eventually, her phone does ring, but it's from the bartender. Lights appears in the video, performing at the club.

Not really a music video...

Looks like most of her songs have their own pages again, lol.
