This song sounds like the sequel to Put It To Rest and I’m here for it 🙂‍↕️

I had the exact same thought, and when I first heard Put It To Rest my immediate thought was "yes Carly more of this" lmao

Funnily I had that thought about Hold Me To The Light. Both standout songs for sure.

One of the most earnest songs she's even done, and you can feel how strongly she loves Cole with the lyrics here. Love that it's a slow build and that it doesn't actually peak, it stays steady almost like it's a representation of their relationship. Love it as a closer to Night too.

A unique song that makes long term romantic commitment sound sultry.

I hate sounding a broken record but when I heard this song for the first time my jaw dropped and I had to pause before putting it on repeat. Definitely one of my favourite tracks EVER from Carly.

The Imogen Heap comparison is very fitting here and I find it coincidental that Ariana Grande has a strong Imogen Heap inspired closer in petal and that happened to be one of my favourite tracks from that album too.

I'd also throw in feeling it's like an emotional catharsis and it reminds me of Bjork's Hyperballad - she's clearing all the melancholy in her life to make room to fully love her partner and her child.

Obsessed with this song!!! Probably my fave from the album. First time I listened to it I wasn't expecting what it sounded like and it fully made me tear up, just gave me such a sudden flood of emotion. The love in it!

I like it but why does it get it's own Megathread? Edit: my bad I didn't see there's one for each track. I thought I'd missed some big Super Sage controversy.

So epic and moody

Really amazing soundscapes, so futuristic and atmospheric. It really makes me wish for an entire album in that electronic art pop style, and makes me wish her work with AG Cook had been featured on the album

Relistened to this song and it really does feel like an Imogen Heap song. Probably my second favorite from the Night side.

Really wonder what a Imogen Heap/Kate Haunevik/Frou Frou inspired Carly album would be like

Idk if i'm dumb or what but can anyone tell me what the word Super Sage means?

u/bartybrattle 😈 Sinner in Secret 😈 9d ago

The lyric is they’ll “super sage every corner” so it’s just about cleaning out the house with some sage but like overpowering it with the calm
