about

“My body is a strange house when the lights are out”
Self-discovery is not a solo pursuit. Small Million’s new ballad Lightswitch explores our limitless potential to grow and change when we inhabit our darkest places… with help.
“This song was inspired by my own experience with chronic pain and transforming my relationship with my body. It’s humbling to realize you can’t heal yourself alone, but as it turns out, no one can. An excellent therapist, a great lover, a friend who tells you the unvarnished truth— people who see you clearly, point the way, and trust you to run with it. If we’re lucky they’ll let us do the same for them.” -Malachi

lyrics

My body is a dark room, I leave it alone
The touch of your hand is a beam of light, what’s it gonna strike
Won’t you sweep through my darkness, catch me lying to myself
Oh, help my find the lightswitch
So I can find my own way out
All I want, all I need, all I been’s not all I’m gonna be
I know you, you know me, light me up and show me how to breathe
Show me how to breathe, show me how to breathe, show me how to be
When the bulb flicks on I’m a place I’ve never been
But it smells like home
Or did I see it in a dream? I’m not alone
you’re here with me
More dark rooms to roam if you’ll help me
More dark rooms to roam
My body is a strange house when the lights are out.
But I belong to these walls when it’s all aglow
Won’t you bring me home?
If you sweep through my darkness, I could do the same for you
I’ll help you find the lightswitch—
let me point you towards the truth.
All you want, all you need, all you been’s not all you're gonna be
I know you, you know me, light you up and show you how to breathe
Show you how to breathe, show you how to breathe, show you how to be.
All I want, all I need, all I been’s not all I’m gonna be

Small Million Portland, Oregon

Flowing from the collaboration of longtime creative partners Ryan Linder & Malachi Graham, the Portland-based indie pop band Small Million welds deeply affecting sonic production to smart lyrics about intuition and inhibition, losing control and ending up in unexpected places, bodies hurt and bodies joyful.
