LIGHTS is awesome.
Don’t question.

Check out how LIGHTS paints a house in her latest music video.
You can also see members of the LIGHTS community meeting LIGHTS on the side.

“LIGHTS, a young Canadian musician whose debut album The Listening came out on Warner Bros last year, writes music that sounds anything but scary. But if you ask LIGHTS (which is her real name, by the way) what she likes to read, she will tell you anything that’s fantastical and thrilling. Here the musician, who is currently on tour with Owl City, discusses her favorite thriller, what makes someone re-read books and how reading has changed her ability to write lyrics.”

The dream tour of Owl City and LIGHTS produces something of brilliance. I like to call it “The Dream Mix”. Not quite a play on words, but geez… just listen to it and you’ll see, rather hear the differences and the greatness of Owl City’s contribution.

“Be careful when you mess with perfection” was one review of the mix from a LIGHTS fan, well known as @nblsavage. Sure, the remix isn’t for everyone. But I like it.

I rate it a nice 7.5/10.

Guess what! I’m getting thousands of stickers printed out. Advertising lovelights.ca and LIGHTS herself. I plan on handing some out at the Toronto concert on April 27th. The sticker size will be 2 x 3.5″.

The design will be in full colour and must have the lovelights.ca URL and COULD include LIGHTSarmy, that is not necessary, but the URL is.

If you think you have a design in mind, send your design to admin@lovelights.ca.

Now that February has come to an end, we can all feel our arms starting to warm up again, as we move from February air, into March. The beginning of March also ends the LIGHTS Addiction Syndrome (LAS) Awareness month. Last month was a little rocky for lights. She came down with a monsterous virus that took away the one thing she really needed on tour with Owl City, her voice. Throughout the whole ordeal she visited the doctor and she came up with this diagnosis:

Let’s wish LIGHTS a very healthy March.
