Night Light - Laufey (Lavendher remix)(by Evie)
I remember seeing this on Twitter one late night in the hospital with my mom. I sat there fighting back tears because I didn't want to be in the position of muffling my cries, silently sobbing at such a happy thing for fear of waking up my mom. The truth is, this came at such a perfect time, and I still remember and come back to listen to this song time to time.
This recording was sitting in my editor for a while since that night.
There's something to like about the slight syncopation and changing beats of it when singing to myself on this song. Listening, you might not get the same interpretation-- but for me it's like if you got to experience meeting a younger version of yourself and comparing yourself to how you were then, knowing what they feel and all those things... It's somewhat of a raw duet between the me that was going through the thick of it then (in the hospital) and the younger more innocent version of me that was singing on a livestream just being a calm happy soul with the rest of you calm happy souls in our quiet corner of the internet.
Quadruple kudos to @EveehJustin for gifting me beyond what you knew you would by dedicating your afternoon to making this song on your own and sharing it <3

Melodious! Absolutely spell binding.
There was so much chaos like the moment your mind races when a massive change has just begun in your life. The moment the backing track kicked out and it was just you singing. It felt like a gut punch. Like the finality of the change had fully sunk in. Like acceptance of the change. Like a bittersweet goodbye. Especially the last like 30 seconds where your vice goes up and it sounds like you smiled even for a moment. Thanks Lav, I love this song and I'm so glad I get to hear another endeition that made it feel like the first time I heard it. 🫶
Laufey and Lav? Truly a beautiful piece. Glad to hear mama Lav doing better and hope you are doing well too, Lav ❤️
Very nice, Lav. I can hear the emotion in it. How's your mama doing now? 💙
I’m not surprised, as you have a reputation for attentive ears 😊 She’s certainly better than she was! Thank you 🤍🤍
That's so lovely 💚 I never would have imagined that a song I made one afternoon would move you so deeply. It makes me so happy to read this. And the way you describe it... I never saw ANYONE describe a song like that. Let alone a song I did! It is very special to me. I felt so happy, touched (and emotional, but that stays between us XD). Thank you for such beautiful words, Lav. It means the world to me, truly ♡
