Canadian singer and songwriter Angela Saini returns with Where I Put the Light, a deeply personal yet universally relatable folk-pop anthem about finding hope and resilience in the aftermath of heartbreak.
What I like the most about this song is its warmth and comforting touch, with Saini’s rich, expressive vocals effortlessly capturing my attention to her storytelling. Where I Put The Light captures the journey of radical self-transformation: burning down the old, starting fresh, and choosing light over darkness. A song that blends both vulnerability and empowerment, Where I Put The Light pairs Angela Saini’s rich, expressive vocals with warm folk-pop textures, killer guitar riffs, steady drum beats, traditional Russian balalaika and an uplifting chorus that together create such a comforting and hopeful atmosphere perfect for a laid-back weekend!
Speaking about the song, Angela Saini said,
In our lowest moments, we still get to decide: do we focus on what we’ve lost, or do we put the light on what we’ve gained and how far we’ve come?. This song is about learning where to focus my eyes – on the stars, not the shadows. It reminds us that even when life feels dark, we can always look toward the stars. By placing the light on possibilities and not limitations, we create space for joy, resilience, and new beginnings.
