“Emphasis” is Sleeping At Last’s second track of the Yearbook: November EP as part of a full year album, Yearbook – Collection.
I played around with a few themes lyrically for this song… at one point it was going to become a subtle, but very optimistic love song but after trying some different word...
Emphasis Lyrics
Death is promised to the bee
Whose sting protects the colony
Was its life worth nothing more
Than honey for the queen?
Life is a branch and it is a dove
Handcrafted by confusing love
Sign language is our reply
When church bells make no sound
In hollow towers and empty hives
We craved sweetness with a fear of heights
Was it all just a grain of sand
In an hourglass?
[Chorus]
The smartest thing I've ever learned
Is that I don't have all the answers
Just a little light to call my own
Though it pales in comparison
To the overarching shadows
A speck of light can reignite the sun
And swallow darkness whole
Death is a cold, blindfolded kiss
It is the finger pressed upon our lips
It puts an unwanted emphasis
On how we should have lived
Life is a gorgeous, broken gift
Six billion pieces waiting to be fixed
Love letters that were never signed
Sent to where we live
[Chorus]
The sweetest thing I've ever heard
Is that I don't have to have the answers
Just a little light to call my own
Though it pales in comparison
To the overarching shadows
A speck of light can reignite the sun
And swallow darkness whole

What did Sleeping At Last say about "Emphasis"?
I decided that recording the piano and vocal together live, without a click track, made the most sense for this song. I’ve become pretty fond of recording gentle songs like this in that way, because it tends to make the songs feel more real and unforced, rather than rigid and over-processed. Every s...
