Last November 19th, my husband surprised me with tickets to the Lights concert in Vogue Theater. We've been listening to her music for years, and it's been sort of our thing. Her music is truly amazing and powerful, the type that gives you a sense of calmness and elation at the same time. It was a different feel having seen her take over the stage --- made us even more enamoured with her prowess.
She was unbelievably humble and --- get this --- when she was a little girl, little Valerie Anne Poxleitner spent part of her childhood in our home country, the Philippines! Lights has been raising funds for the World Vision typhoon Haiyan relief operation in our country, which I think makes her the best.
What's more amazing is that we were among the 50 people to purchase her Little Machines Vinyl Album and got to meet her in person. We were so stoked we got to chat with her and had our vinyls, tickets, and a shirt signed. Also, a hug to end the night with.
I love all of her songs but the most appealing to me in her latest release are Muscle Memory, Running With The Boys, and Up We Go. If you have not listened to her album or her music yet, please take time to do so. You won't regret it!
Cheers!
