Finding Stillness in the Storm
There are songs that don’t just play — they hold you.
We Are Made of Light, the latest release from Australian duo The Safety Word, rises like a quiet sunrise after a long, heavy night. It’s not a track that shouts for attention. Instead, it hums with human warmth — a reminder that even when everything feels heavy, there’s still a glow inside that never fades.
When silence becomes music
Based in Melbourne, John Rousvanis and Simon Quinn have been crafting immersive soundscapes that drift between dream pop, chillwave, and trip-hop.
In their words, the past few months felt like “moving through strange static.” When life got hard to carry, they turned back to what has always been there for them — music.
Out of that quiet storm came this track: a blend of steady rhythm, soft synth textures, and Rousvanis’ ethereal voice. Every note breathes. Every sound lingers in the air just long enough to make you stop, listen, and exhale.
A portrait of emotional resilience
We Are Made of Light feels like a meditation rather than a song.
It doesn’t offer escape — it offers presence.
The shimmering pads, minimal percussion, and introspective lyrics build an atmosphere of peace that gently holds the listener.
In a world that glorifies noise and speed, The Safety Word reminds us that stillness can be powerful too.
The title itself isn’t just poetic. It’s a statement: We are made of light. Even when we forget, something luminous remains within us.
An evolution of sound and spirit
Long-time followers will recognize the duo’s trademark balance between electronic precision and organic warmth. But this release strips everything back to the essence.
Following the darker intensity of Lost Circuit and the cinematic calm of Dreamwalker, We Are Made of Light marks a new chapter — one rooted in clarity, emotion, and restraint.
It’s not about volume or complexity. It’s about truth — the kind that quietly stays with you long after the last note fades.
A light in uncertain times
More than a single, We Are Made of Light feels like a moment of connection.
For anyone moving through exhaustion, change, or silence, this track is a reminder that we can still breathe, that the light we’ve lost track of is still here, waiting.
