If Salt is Angie’s minor-key/wounds are fresh album then Light, Dark, Light Again is the other side of the healing process for those wounds.
This is one of the most beautifully poignant self-care songs in this year-long list. Sometimes you’re in a position when you’re the only one who can take care of yourself. ”Okay you can take a break now”…is that something we honestly let ourselves do in today’s society? There certainly isn’t time built into the day for it. Maybe the first step is literally just giving ourselves permission to slow down?
“Okay, you are healing again, remember when you weren’t dreaming, you can stroke your own skin, pull yourself back into your own love, gave so much to them , you have so much to give yourself now, everything is quiet but the music’s coming in…”
We are enough, because at the very simplest we only have to be enough for ourselves. This song is about having that soft and forgiving relationship with yourself, because oftentimes, we’re our own worst enemy. I love that this song encourages coming to peace with that side of ourselves through breath and yoga…a pair of things I’m trying to do more of 2024.
More stillness. More balance. Light and Dark in all things…
This song packed such a punch for me in our four short minutes together. Yet again Angie’s voice wallops the soul. If Rocky’s body shots were cathartic lyrics, that’s this song. This song is what I imagine that first breath of fresh air is like after spending a long time underground. Finally taking that deep breath. It’s that hug from a friend that finally breaks us. Then we can begin to grow again. To rise from the ashes of who we were.
The sun will rise tomorrow, no matter how hard things are. I promise. There’s hope in tomorrow. Enjoy the song and the healing. Let me know what you think!
everything, etc. 
Oh man I love this one! So good.
