Patrick Watson, sleeping at last

Sharmoofers . Elctronic Round Redbull Soundclash 2015

RISING (Acoustic Live) by Ciinderella Balthazar is a powerful, cinematic soul and alternative pop ballad recorded live at golden hour. Stripped back to guitar and vocals, this intimate performance captures raw emotion, rich storytelling, and soaring female vocals that fans of Florence + The Machine, London Grammar, and Amy Winehouse will love.

Written in the aftermath of betrayal, RISING is an anthem of resilience: about every time someone has used you, doubted you, or tried to break you, and the strength to rise again, stronger than ever.

Premiered ahead of her headline show at The Troubadour, London on August 29, 2025, this acoustic live performance is a glimpse into her upcoming debut EP Unsafe, releasing October 10, 2025.

LYRICS

Footprints in the sand
Swept out with the tide behind me
Ahead lies the promised land 
Across an ocean of doubt, trying to find me

The wind caught my sail
‘Til the sun sank down into night time
But I came too far to fail
When the dark took the light and the
Night stole my clear blue sky

In the darkness I find my light
I hold my head up high
And my brightness outshines the night
Against the sky

Storm clouds ahead
Black swells below
I was drowning in the tears I shed
Battered and bruised from what I didn’t know

Darkest before the dawn
They said "there’s never a right time"
Hope fades ‘til it is gone
Then the dark took the light and the
Night stole my clear blue sky

And in the darkness I find my light
I hold my head up high
And my brightness outshines the night
Into a clear blue sky

Day broke the night
The sun dried up the rain 
The promised land in sight
Forgettin’ the cold and forgettin’ the pain

And when the evening comes
I watch through grateful eyes
As the ocean meets the sun
The moon and the stars shine bright in my nighttime sky

And in the darkness I find my light
I hold my head up high
And my brightness outshines the night
Into a clear blue sky

And in the darkness I find my light
I hold my head up high
And my brightness outshines the night
It’s a clear blue sky

BACKSTORY
