Lights - Up We Go [Official Music Video]

[@Johnny_Doe]

“Nothing gives easy. Easy gives nothing….” Love that lyric

[@metalguard4]

The cool thing about this video was it all done in a single shoot. No retakes

[@studioa.productions4507]

+Andrew Alfred yeah same with "second go"

[@timgaul400]

No fucking shit captain Sherlock

[@womaninthewave]

Andrew Alfred but what about when the band froze? that wasn’t a single take

[@willythemailboy2]

@@womaninthewave Yeah it was. The band just froze in place. The whole video from start to finish is one continuous shot with no cuts.

[@darrininverarity4297]

Just like spice girls “wana be”

[@LeFroge]

I saw her at a free concert in Calgary of all places, and I have to say, she sounds just same live. Amazing singer, and she had a great personality and was extremely humble. Great artist 👍

[@CytheriaXylia]

I saw her years ago in Red Deer! It was a pretty strictly seated venue for a reason I can't remember now, but me and my friends drank a little too much and went out to the front of the stage to dance along with a few other people and she waved off the bouncers when they tried getting us back to our seats. After that pretty much everyone else got up and it was a blast. And she really does sound just the same live. We almost didn't get to say hi to her at the end, but she quickly hugged me and my best friend and told us that she liked our hair. Definitely one of the most genuine bands I've seen in concert. It's always the ones that still play in small venues even after fame 🤣

[@orlandogloom5409]

I'm beyond glad to hear she's still down to earth and cool (and even more popular afaik) but tbh I had been getting different vibes for a while ...must be the fans now that I think about it tho, they call her queen and try to massage her ego 24/7 while calling her humble etc... but the newer songs don't really have similar flavor, too. I also need to see what she's been posting on Twitter, haven't checked in ages now. NGL, I'm feeling curious about that, just not enough to login there yet xD You guys are lucky to be able to go to her concerts tho, I can only imagine being to an acoustic show of hers. I'm not too keen on attending concerts but I bet this would be a really unique experience even after all these years...

[@orlandogloom5409]

Oh with some of that wording, it probably seems I'm jabbing at the op but I wasn't 😅 It's the replies that blindly praise (or hate, in other cases) that I have the problem with, not the rest.

[@coltino99]

stampede?

[@willlamoureux3189]

All these people talking about how badly made the video is and how this new style and music of hers is weird. No. Not me. It is a damn Honour and privilege to share a country with this woman. She has come so far. Lights is pure talent to the core. All my love.

[@stingoh]

This video deserves way more hits. She's so genuine.

[@LeslieeOjedaa]

there's no "old" or "new" lights there's only a brighter one

*badumtiss*

[@catmospheriic]

Best reply

[@WrProgamer]

I like how she kept her eyes fixed at the camera pretty much the entire video, just at about 1:53 when the couple went down she quickly glanced over :D

[@pinkdiamondlatte]

Keen observance there!

[@ThePerlamore]

LOL I TOTALLY SAW THAT TOO!

[@crossxfuse]

she also looked down at 2:01 and 2:03

[@jessuka]

[@Jessicaorozcosanchez]

God I love her style, her voice, her face, her group, the video, the crew, the idea, the song. Everyone here is ready to go!

[@meedily]

I love her rack.

[@brandoncurran4764]

She's the best

[@StuSpaz]

I can't believe that no one sees the difficulty and challenge to filming this video. The director as well as Lights, the band, the actors, the set crew, demonstrate extreme precision and timing since this entire 3:30 video is shot in one single take. Everything had to happen perfectly with no mistakes or cuts. There is nothing to edit since it already took 14 hours to shoot the perfect shot. Everyone should get credit for a masterpiece like this. There aren't too many single shots that last this long in the history of film. Way to go!

[@ejmtv3]

"Always darker days before brighter ones" has been my motto ever since!

[@catmospheriic]

This gives me so much serotonin

[@sarahrose9921]

Listening to this in the middle of this fucking pandemic. From down this low, it’s only up we go. Love you always, Lights.

[@zzzzzzzz999zzzzzzzzz]

There's nothing wrong with intimacy. Also, lights can do what she wants as an artist. As her fans, we are here to support her. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

[@misstakesuperid734]

Never heard this song before but I'm on a Lights kick and this song/video was so fun! Though I was really hoping this was done in an actual elevator. Still really fun and wild video.

[@SuperShannonMae]

"The initial idea I had was to do something in one take that involved a lot of chaos. I felt that would be a good representation of the daily battles of life and how we kind of just power through it and keep looking forward, which is what the song touches on" Lights said in an interview regarding this song.. I love the concept behind the song and video. Everyone did a great job doing it all in one take as well.

[@orlandogloom5409]

It's so sad that a comment with a statement/implication about 2020 being "hard" has so many more likes than a comment about the substance of the idea for this video. Also, I love her lighter and sadder songs alike, but it seems ppl always talk about how perfect she is, effectively massaging her ego nonstop (while mentioning how humble she is, ironically) instead of appreciating the nice/uplifting/deeper songs and being inspired to post something as useful and interesting as the piece of art. Then again, I guess that is usually the case in comment sections, especially of pop music songs. I don't diss any genre but it's quite obvious there's a difference in mentality between certain stuff. Not saying I demonize or beautify any, but the kind of music does seem to attract specific ppl each time, from lightheaded to doomloving and from the one side of the insecurity spectrum to the other. Although I'd say most of the basic insecurities are more or less shared. Some want to belong to this group, some to the other, and go as far as choosing certain genres to cover tribalistic needs instead of simply discovering good meaningful stuff to share with others and enjoy more deeply, relating to others and uniting, bettering whole mindsets and healing wounds or just attempting to maintain a nice mood in spite of each day's or life's usual BS (be it repercussions of choices we/others make, or not).

[@orlandogloom5409]

As a sidenote: There's no way it's been 8+ years since this came out, come on now.... Seriously, wtf xD Feels like 5-6 max to me

[@elanamarie2918]

I am Canadian and I saw her live the other day at a festival And she was in a line up of 6 other artists and as soon came out everybody was screaming we love you lights and every single person was happy and thoroughly entertained. She is one of Canada's girls for sure :)

[@volvagia466]

So many people hating on the queen of synth-pop

+Swordterranean40 Cause she has good taste

[@TheKsae]

+Swordterranean40 same but my gf... mind boggled.

[@MaestroMephisto]

+volvagia466 - Maybe because lots of people are fed up of the same old shit synth "pop" (keyword: pop). Why can't North Americans ever be more heavier like the European bands such as Nightwish, Within Temptation, Delain, Kamelot, Leaves' Eyes, etc? What's this fuckin "pop" shit we're on in this continent? It gets redundant after a while. Do these people have parents? Or maybe their parents were not rock/metal fans. Avril Lavigne didn't even know who the fuck Metallica was back when she got started in the 1990's. You don't have to be a fan of any particular band or artist to have simply HEARD of them. I bet these young "musicians" know who Tupac is tho. Even tho he was dead while they were all still shitting in diapers.

[@haleybishop4026]

Can't stop listening to Little Machines. On my way to work, While I'm at work, When I'm at home dancing with my child, When I drift off to sleep at night. Seriously, so good. My kid LOVES this song. She jams out all the time.

[@alexiluffy216]

7 years already? Damn this is nostalgic as heck :( Also, that Lightning hairstyle!!!!

[@adriansoldevilla2232]

I guess this video represents some stages in Lights' life. The wrestles being her struggles as a pop star. The sex being the making of Rocket. The goat and pig hand shaking as Lights agreeing on continuing her career despite becoming a mother. The freezing of everything represents her doubts about carrying on. In the end her life is like a big party. Despite all her struggles and all the craziness going on in her life, she still continues to ascend UP

[@abbythacker02]

That was deep...

[@untitledchels]

Adrian Soldevilla so deep that adelle can roll in it

[@zsofiasimo4862]

Adrian, thanks for the summary, I really liked it. She has a difficult life and that probably made her a strong person knowing exactly what they want and going for it, showing it. I'm sooo grateful they made this song for us!!! I just love it. It has such a powerful energy, my God, I feel like switched on a powerhouse when I listen to it :-)

[@PinkiePieex3]

To everyone going nuts about the couple in the video, calm down. It's not promoting porn and she's not selling out in any way. It's clear they were intended to show pure passion and desire. Which is NOT a bad thing by any means. A couple in love, and making love is a beautiful thing. Why would Lights just throw in a couple having sex just for the fun of it? Think about who Lights is. If you know anything about her personality you'll know the couple was there just as a passionate young couple, beautifully in love and enjoying each other.

This song was there for me during a very weird and hard time in my life. I dont even know how but i get teleported to that time just by hearing it.

[@gavinfernandez6339]

This song really helped me pick myself up from a really low point I was at, and honestly this song was a catalyst to helping me figure myself out. Because of all that, I had a great 2015 and although with ups and downs throughout the year, i have never had such a great year. If anyone here is feeling something similar, I hope you feel better and realize that you are better than your problems and that you can rise above them. Here's to a great 2016, Happy new year everyone! And thank you Lights, you've made my year.

[@vivianphillips768]

This is the energy for 2023. Echoing your point - 2015 was my best year, and I want that to change to 2023. Thanks for the comment, man.

@Vivian Phillips 7 year old comment, since then they're have been downs if course but I've def come quite a way since then, I hope the same for you! And if 2015 was your best year yet you're well due to replace it with your greatest year yet! All the best for 2023!

[@misshannah311]

I love lights. I saw the video as a concept of going UP, running into all levels of social behavior on her way, like the fancy lady who was coming from the top. Lights talks about how it's been a hard year and she's trying to keep income coming in and something's gotta give, and up she goes! I could be way off...but that's what I took it for!

Lights, you used to have such free spirited energy. Watching you in these videos is like watching a caged bird sing. I can fully understand why some of the "old fans" may be disappointed with this "new sound". It truly lacks the exuberance that was a familiar glow in tracks like "Ice", "Everybody Breaks a Glass", "Boots", and "Banner". I hope you find that inner voice and start following it again.
