I've watched this video at least 50 times and I've cried every single time. This is music that heals and we all could use a little compassion. Thank you so very much !!!!!!
Oh yes , love these guys, my wife died next to me in the middle of the night. I woke up to total silence! Toughest day of my life , then shortly after my youngest committed suicide. Oh yes l hear u . But still l know God knows what he is doing in our lives . Not just wishful thinking but power ,clarity and authority. GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING, I'm not afraid! 😊
For me this song was my dad begging me to hold back the darkness. “Don’t let go son. You’ll see the light again. Fight!” This song hits deep and was written by someone who has been there. Thank you KATL.
It's a beautiful song, i just wish more people had someone pulling for them like this. It's not easy to walk alone, being strong for others, only to leave your cup empty for yourself.
There are no words... no words for me to give Justice for this song, and this video. I am 51, I have fought depression for 40 years. While my home life was decent... parts of this surely hit me. Thank you for making it. I greatly appreciate it. Much love... be safe.
If you're having a hard time, if life has you beat down. Listen to this track as many times as you need to and stand up. Stay in the fight ......hardship makes you stronger. Do not lose hope and never ever quit. Thank you CATL.
I'm 60, I've fought depression, as you, for , 43 years. My home life was great. Nothing to do with situational depression. Clinical depression hurts too. Thank you for your comment.
I got to meet her 5 years ago on my 40th birthday. Kobra hung out with myself and a couple of people I met that night. I got to tell her how much the song meant to me.
This song has been a frequent listen since I lost my father over the summer. A great reminder of the people who helped and are still helping me to get through that gut punch.
Lyrics: Watching you sitting there alone again The pain is eating you alive You're suffering Wonder If I'll ever see you whole again If I had just one wish, I'd take it all away Don't let go I'll find you in the darkness I need you Light up for me Don't let go I'll find you in the darkness Never leave you Light up for me Open up, I'll be your light Just let me in I'd give it all just to hear your laughter again You're the one, the only one that made me feel I want it back, the light you had Hold on to me! Don't let go I'll find you in the darkness I need you Light up for me Don't let go I'll find you in the darkness Never leave you Light up for me I know the weight of the pain you feel I'll share your burden, I'll help you heal Don't let go I'll find you in the darkness I need you Light up for me Don't let go I'll find you in the darkness Never leave you Light up for me Light up for me Light up for me
This was the first song I heard by Kobra and the Lotus, within the first 30 seconds I was in love. So much talent. She has a phenomenal voice, I can't stop listening to them. My goodness this band is incredible.
This song is my life support. This song has got me through the toughest time in my life when I thought life wasn't worth it. Thank you kobra and the lotus for saving me. I will always remember this.
As a person who has also suffered from depression and been in a relationship with a person suffering from depression I feel this song describes the situation very well.
Absolutely breath taking! I wish nothing but success for you guys! I know your music will have a healing purpose. I could listen to your voice all day.
I saw her last year with Xandria and she tore the place down. Very friendly and approachable. This year Kobra's playing on my 40th birthday so that's my coming of age concert.
I have never heard such precise operatic vocals. I'm loving every track. This lead singer is the undisputed Queen of the metal ballad. She is able to communicate emotion through each song. I have heard a lot of metal ( which I love) and a lot of good lead vocals, but she I would describe as ultimate and epic. What a beautiful voice! Unfortunately, so good, that once your done with a track, you're like "well, I just listened to the greatest song ever, nothin left to look forward to " Napalm has a winner here...
No idea if you will ever see this. THANKS for the song and video. Last 2 years almost impossible to get through. Health issues. Then had my home taken from me last year. Some of the lyrcis just nail it. How you feel when your down. At times only dark thoughts come in. When I can, plan to get this album and support the group. WELL DONE and thank you. Have played this a lot last few weeks.
Wow,that song spoke to me on a real visceral level made me confront a character flaw of mine. About letting go of people or persons that hurt, let you down what ever and the video of the little guy turning his back on who ever she was to him
I am a big fan of KATL and this song is beautiful and the video is powerful. Its release couldn't have come at a better time than now as unfortunately we lost a great musician yesterday to suicide. I think it has made more people aware of the battle people can have with mental health and depression. Great job to all involved.
RUclips has just suggested it in the recommendation. I've been looking for a competitor to Nikoletta Roselini for a long time, it fits, I took it to the collection.
This song wrenches on me so much. That little boy was me for so long. I found refuge in music and my toys. I felt empty and so alone. That feeling creeps in from time to time. I'm so thankful for this song to remind me of what used to be for me, but children still go through this. My faith in God and my grandparents helped hold it together. I pray this band catapults into the stars and last for a very long time.
First time heard of Kobra and the lotus was in 2013 if remember correctly in Latvia in "Metal allstars concert", since then it is one of my favourite rock/metal bands and bands in general
What a powerful video. I've been on the fence like that myself, and I was basically saved at the last minute by a friend. Thank you for this. It was an exceptional song as well.
Saw you in Dallas after the power went out. Performing this song at the side of the stage, lit up by cell phone flashlights and lightening in the sky all around us was so surreal. Never heard of you before,but a definitely a fan now!
What a friggin excellent song. The passion, beat, musicality and all the rest of it via rock gravitas makes me come alive. Thank you Kobra and the Lotus for genius coming through to heart density we like. Congrats.
Wow, she has a beautiful voice and the intensity of the music makes me daydream of a woman like her singing that to my face in a fairytale reception. Love this song!!!
GREAT VIDEO!!!! Love the song! Love the story & message in the video. We need more videos & songs like this, instead of the narcissistic ones constantly churned out by mainstream pop & rap.
Thank you for this. I was blown away by your live show in Seattle a few months ago and immediately picked up your albums, and this song speaks volumes for those that struggle. Powerful.
Another great song & video Prevail 1 is one of the best albums I have heard in a long time saw your great show in Cleveland can't wait to see you again
I was bullied years ago because I was different (autism) no one ever helped me, and it went the same way as this boy in this song, so it was hard for me, but at the last moment I figured out this kind of music and it saved my life !!! Because of that I talked about people what was wrong with me and they finally understood me and helped me!!!!
I never heard of you guyz this video came as a RUclips suggestion video. Seeing napalm records logo i thought of playing the song. Damn i am blown away from the moment i hit the play button. Best of luck guyz from India
Damn, this music is so beauty and this lyric breaks the soul of anybody... I am Brazilian, I speak English "good" but I am very bad with music, so I gone to Google Translator - if I was fighting with myself to not cry when I saw the rescue and the last messages, I cried at the balcony of my store when I read in Portuguese. Like I said, this lyric breaks the soul of anybody - I never lost somebody near me by suicide, but it's like if I felt all the pain if a close friend commited suicide. Great work, "Light Me Up" it's one of my favourite songs of all time. Greetings from Brazil!
I struggle with depression everyday, giving up and taking your own life is never the way, look deep inside and find the reason to live. After my brother died I wanted to take my life, but I couldn't because I have all my friends and family to live for. I have so many reasons why I stay, and those outweigh any reason to leave this world.
OMG... The song and video takes me back to the times when I was 8-9 years old and the other kids were bullying me so much that I had to change school... I wish I had songs like this.
Very good stuff illustrate well the role of a guardian angel. We all have several lotus inside of us and two little cobra waiting to heal us, thanks alot for this.
This is well & truely beautiful. Its got the right lyrics & emotions put into it. This happens all to often to so many of us & we must help each other overcome these demons. I've seen you guys once & loved your performance, can't wait to see you live again. XX
At the age of 8 my whole world changed. I got fitted for glasses. I was tormented at school, called 4-eyes, tripped, beat up. If not for my family being the Beacon of hope, my Lighthouse to help #illuminatethepath for me, who knows. That's why I always smile to everyone and say the greeting of the day. I don't strive to be a good human, but a Great Human. It doesn't cost anything to be the Light for others.
Thank you for this. Many don't understand the cost involved in writing, and recording a song, but also the cost of making video that many of us will see only on RUclips. Great song! I hope you come back to Calgary and play for us again soon!
I feel like it’s the story of a mother trying to reach her son from the other side, having passed on and leaving him behind with his alcoholic and abusive father (and either a step mother or his father’s girlfriend). The boy gets bullied at school and feels completely alone, and the mother is able to reach him by taking the form of a child to keep him from jumping in that last scene.
Seen you with Delain in Berlin last year. I liked the old stuff you played but the crowd was literally standing still. To be honest, I prefer the style of the new album. Good stuff!
Frantic. New fan, count me in. This is the 1st song I've ever heard from this group. I hope they keep making great music. Kobra Paige has such a strong and beautiful voice, it is in a class all by itself. Excuse me, I have to go listen to this song for the 27th time in a row... Kobra Paige is also absolutely gorgeous - I am sure she hardly ever hears that. (bahahaha) Tour stop Tampa???? We love great music and metal here.
I almost didn't finish listening to this in the beginning, but I'm so glad I stayed until end. This is a really good solid sound. Powerful chorus, powerful performance and great storyline.🤘🔥
Songs like this make me so sad. Not sad about the theme necessarily, but sad for society missing out on such beautiful and heart touching music because metal is seen as "demonic", "Satanic", etc. Even "Hard Rock" stations hardly play anything besides metallica and washed up rock. I hope KATL gets the success they rightfully deserve and rock on!
Thats because they really look demonic and satanic lol. They are all pierced, tattooed, all black, creepy music videos, and so much growling and lyrics about exterminating, dying, killing, diseases, lol. Now, i'm not an expert in telling the difference between genres, but this song doesnt sound so metal to me.

The thing I love about this singer is that she really puts forth effort to sing each word clearly, no slurring of her words.
This song has been a frequent listen since I lost my father over the summer. A great reminder of the people who helped and are still helping me to get through that gut punch.
I'm sorry for your loss
Lyrics:
Watching you sitting there alone again
The pain is eating you alive
You're suffering
Wonder If I'll ever see you whole again
If I had just one wish, I'd take it all away
Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
I need you
Light up for me
Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
Never leave you
Light up for me
Open up, I'll be your light
Just let me in
I'd give it all just to hear your laughter again
You're the one, the only one that made me feel
I want it back, the light you had
Hold on to me!
Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
I need you
Light up for me
Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
Never leave you
Light up for me
I know the weight of the pain you feel
I'll share your burden, I'll help you heal
Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
I need you
Light up for me
Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
Never leave you
Light up for me
Light up for me
Light up for me

This song is my life support. This song has got me through the toughest time in my life when I thought life wasn't worth it. Thank you kobra and the lotus for saving me. I will always remember this.
I'm truly happy you're still here. This song gives me very same vibes.
always remember this Song and stay strong
A song this good needs more views.
As a person who has also suffered from depression and been in a relationship with a person suffering from depression I feel this song describes the situation very well.
Absolutely breath taking! I wish nothing but success for you guys! I know your music will have a healing purpose. I could listen to your voice all day.
Ashley Worhol Ashley ❤
Ashley Worhol me too
Right! I think I never heard a Rock/Metal song conveying so much care to my heart. Wonderful!
I saw her last year with Xandria and she tore the place down. Very friendly and approachable. This year Kobra's playing on my 40th birthday so that's my coming of age concert.
Couldnt have said it better myself lady..
Living in the darkness is draining but songs like this bring me back to the light, if only for a little while.
Same here, Ellie
I have never heard such precise operatic vocals. I'm loving every track. This lead singer is the undisputed Queen of the metal ballad. She is able to communicate emotion through each song.

Tears... Tears are running down this face! Such an amazing song and video. One of the best videos I've seen this year! Thank you for this!
No idea if you will ever see this. THANKS for the song and video. Last 2 years almost impossible to get through. Health issues. Then had my home taken from me last year. Some of the lyrcis just nail it. How you feel when your down. At times only dark thoughts come in. When I can, plan to get this album and support the group. WELL DONE and thank you. Have played this a lot last few weeks.
This is an all time classic for the ages
One of my favorite bands Kobra's voice is beautiful.
I can't watch this without crying. Thank you for such a powerful and moving song and video!
Comforting knowing . Wasn't the only one feeling the same
i m with you ok
Oh god I know it's truly POWERFUL
Paige is a great writer and can capture the emotion in a song, and lotus just makes it better. Perfect pairing
Same here..omg....relating heavily
Wow......what a powerful song. Being a person that suffers from depressioand social anxiety rhis really hits home dor me.
Every time I listen to Katl it sounds better and better, such great talent!
OMG!!! I just love this song. It is absolutely beautiful! Great message as well.
Wow,that song spoke to me on a real visceral level made me confront a character flaw of mine. About letting go of people or persons that hurt, let you down what ever and the video of the little guy turning his back on who ever she was to him

This song is amazing! It hits a lot harder when you imagine that YOU are singing this to yourself. 🥺
RUclips has just suggested it in the recommendation. I've been looking for a competitor to Nikoletta Roselini for a long time, it fits, I took it to the collection.
Why is it that everytime I hear this song it reminds me of my mom who has passed away I will always be a fan of this group
Music will always be the most powerful thing on Earth, not drugs sex government nothing heals like music, thank you Kobra amazing healing tract ❤
So moving. I cannot watch this without shedding a tear.
This masterpiece deserves a billion views.
Ich habe sie schon live gesehen in Leipzig sie hat mich umarmt was macht die Band jetzt die sind so toll und nett 😊😊 ich habe alle CDs von ihnen
This song wrenches on me so much. That little boy was me for so long. I found refuge in music and my toys. I felt empty and so alone. That feeling creeps in from time to time.

I pray this band catapults into the stars and last for a very long time.
There's no words to describe the strength i get from this song. It's too close to me and helps me to keep moving forward
First time heard of Kobra and the lotus was in 2013 if remember correctly in Latvia in "Metal allstars concert", since then it is one of my favourite rock/metal bands and bands in general
What a powerful video. I've been on the fence like that myself, and I was basically saved at the last minute by a friend. Thank you for this. It was an exceptional song as well.
All I can say is "wow" -- phenomenal song and video. Keep up the excellent work!
She has such an amazing voice.....

Thank you for this. I was blown away by your live show in Seattle a few months ago and immediately picked up your albums, and this song speaks volumes for those that struggle. Powerful.
Her voice is an essence of alto voice, very powerful and strong, Kobra has an amazing voice and vocals
I remember seeing you open for Kiss in Tampa FL and I knew the band would be great. You are. Come a long way since then too.
Thank you. I needed that. I happened to find this on the 5 year anniversary to one of my best friends' passing. Missing him so much.
Refreshing... somewhat different in the present day scenario...
God bless ! Keep up the good work !
I see only one PROBLEM with this song.. I NEVER wanted it to end..❤
Beautiful song,beautiful lyrics. Outstanding message
Another great song & video Prevail 1 is one of the best albums I have heard in a long time saw your great show in Cleveland can't wait to see you again

This song and video is powerful, You don't know what its like is one of the best songs out right now.
This song is awesome. Cheers to a banging 2023.
Still here in 2024 and beyond! Love these guys!!!
Awsome love it cant believe I've just found this band not long ago
You guys kicked ass at your show in the Hall of Fame, I had a wonderful night :) Thank you for signing the hoodie and the CD, much love
Damn, this music is so beauty and this lyric breaks the soul of anybody... I am Brazilian, I speak English "good" but I am very bad with music, so I gone to Google Translator - if I was fighting with myself to not cry when I saw the rescue and the last messages, I cried at the balcony of my store when I read in Portuguese.

Great work, "Light Me Up" it's one of my favourite songs of all time. Greetings from Brazil!
I love how this guys seek for every audience. Kids, anime, metalheads, pop... (nice management). Let's spread the word!!!
I have to admit, this song is amazing, sound vocals and reason why it's produced.
in 2024, still the most BEAUTIFUL and UPLIFTING SONG! Thank you
I love this band so freaking much. This song moves me and is amazing
I struggle with depression everyday, giving up and taking your own life is never the way, look deep inside and find the reason to live. After my brother died I wanted to take my life, but I couldn't because I have all my friends and family to live for.

Thank you for this contribution for mental health awareness. It speaks volumes of your character.
So excited cause Katl are coming to Orlando Oct 30, already got tickets,,,can't wait ,love this band
This song gives us hope when we're feeling very down
I had TEARS in my eyes during this ... STUNNING SONG !
I've heard a lot of great bands that aren't mainstream but Cobra and the Lotus is extra special.
OMG... The song and video takes me back to the times when I was 8-9 years old and the other kids were bullying me so much that I had to change school... I wish I had songs like this.
Very good stuff illustrate well the role of a guardian angel. We all have several lotus inside of us and two little cobra waiting to heal us, thanks alot for this.
Been trying to find this song for weeks now. Finally figured out what it was when I heard it on the radio this morning. Such a great one.
This is well & truely beautiful. Its got the right lyrics & emotions put into it. This happens all to often to so many of us & we must help each other overcome these demons. I've seen you guys once & loved your performance, can't wait to see you live again. XX
This will be one of the top tunes of 2017 & makes my top tracks of 2017 @ Hot Rock Central
At the age of 8 my whole world changed. I got fitted for glasses. I was tormented at school, called 4-eyes, tripped, beat up.
If not for my family being the Beacon of hope, my Lighthouse to help #illuminatethepath for me, who knows. That's why I always smile to everyone and say the greeting of the day.
I don't strive to be a good human, but a Great Human. It doesn't cost anything to be the Light for others.
harmonies in this song are just insane
Such a powerful song and a great video to go with it. Uplifting stuff.
Thank you for this. Many don't understand the cost involved in writing, and recording a song, but also the cost of making video that many of us will see only on RUclips. Great song! I hope you come back to Calgary and play for us again soon!
ganitong mga tipo kong mga kanta ang sarap pakingan sa tenga 😍
Absolutely Badass Song! WOW! Strong Video! Strong Voice! Strong Message!
I heard this Band never before! Why?
This is just all kinds of awesome. I'm in love. Having an eargasm! 😁
Wonderful Powerful Beautiful Magic Touching!!! Wooww It Has Everything ♥ ♥
A MASTERPIECE ♥
энергия прёт.......на зарядку, становись!

Thank you so much for this. You guys are fast becoming one of my favorite bands.
Seen you with Delain in Berlin last year. I liked the old stuff you played but the crowd was literally standing still. To be honest, I prefer the style of the new album. Good stuff!
oh god i am so jealous
Thank you KATL, for helping me stay alive with this video. 💗
absolutly a great song.
one for in the books!
Frantic. New fan, count me in. This is the 1st song I've ever heard from this group. I hope they keep making great music. Kobra Paige has such a strong and beautiful voice, it is in a class all by itself. Excuse me, I have to go listen to this song for the 27th time in a row... Kobra Paige is also absolutely gorgeous - I am sure she hardly ever hears that. (bahahaha) Tour stop Tampa???? We love great music and metal here.
Любимые!!! Very beautiful song... I cry... Как же это красиво!!!!
I love discovering awesome bands
СУПЕР КЛИП А ГЛАВНОЕ С ПРАВИЛЬНЫМ СМЫСЛОМ - - ПОМОГИ БЛИЖНЕМУ.
this song makes me cry! beautifully in tears!
I can not stop seeing and hearing this wonderful song. You're incredibly beautiful!
I almost didn't finish listening to this in the beginning, but I'm so glad I stayed until end. This is a really good solid sound. Powerful chorus, powerful performance and great storyline.🤘🔥
Instant fan......more, more
I cry deeply every time I play this.
Its so moving! Congratulations once more to the band!

Well said
Thats because they really look demonic and satanic lol. They are all pierced, tattooed, all black, creepy music videos, and so much growling and lyrics about exterminating, dying, killing, diseases, lol. Now, i'm not an expert in telling the difference between genres, but this song doesnt sound so metal to me.
This song had a very beautiful message and really struck me to the core. I can relate. I really can.
@@perocigla4425 Because they are not a one trick pony band.
@@keithvincent4 what kind of band would that be?
Well done. Gives me the same mood and touches me just like Mustasch (Swedish metal band) "Yaras song" . Thanx. 🖤💛🤘🏼
WOW, became a fan when you guys opened for KISS in Atlanta, 2014, Keep up the great work!
