about

Let the Light In’ cracks the heavens wide open.

“This song is about recognizing one’s insignificance in the greater cosmic order, but not feeling a loss of freedom from that, but finding a prism of beauty in that realization." says Hol.

Over instrumentals that are meditative, super layered, and at times psychedelic, a complex and lyrical poetry invites us to reflect on our collective present moment.

“I chose to release this song because it has intense dynamics and they reflect the daily oscillations between uncomfortable disorder and quiet reflection that I believe we are collectively experiencing around the globe right now. Our lives are suddenly different, and this song tasks us each with finding generosity, kindness, and a lens of beauty in a time when it may be easier to do the opposite.”

lyrics

The earth it is shaking
My body is aching
For a lover to make it go still

Volcanoes are blowing up
I’m just trying to show up
And not let this fire go out

There’s a quickening in everything
And I’m not sure where I fit in
There’s a reckoning in the pendulum swing
And a bullet hole to let the light in

Will you let the light in?
Will you let the light in?
Are you doing the right thing?
Will you let the light in?

A hurricane is brewing
These winds of change keep moving
Should we board up the windows of this bar?
In the silence after lightening we anticipate the thunder
And it’s frightening all we don’t know
