A Lullaby You Don’t Want to End

Some songs feel like conversations I’ve had in my head. Maybe that’s why Holy – the latest release by Jacre and Lucie Glang – made me stop what I was doing and just sit there for a while. A lullaby that tiptoes in and just… stays. I’ve written about Jacre before – usually feeling this tug, this softness that got under my skin, quietly. But this track? This one parked itself somewhere between memory and drift.

I’ve played it on loop like a ritual. You know, the kind of listening where sleep gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list. It’s a quiet rebellion – a folk-lined whisper that asks you to shut the world off for a second and just listen. Away from drama, far from hooks – this one finds its way into quiet.

Somewhere between trees and tunes — Jacre (Julian Ransom)

Love, Leaves, and Sacred Blue

Holy arrives as a stripped-back acoustic moment shared between two artists who understand space. When to speak, and when to leave a breath hanging in mid-air. Jacre’s gentle cadence, Lucie Glang’s earthy elegance, and Dominic Romano’s production I just sat there, didn’t move, didn’t say a word.

The fingerpicked guitar sounds like it’s coming from someone’s porch at dusk. Sounded like they just sat down and played. That’s what got me. And then the strings glide in, courtesy of Harley Eblen, and you get this quiet cinematic feel, nothing waving for applause. It just fits.

The lyrics are steeped in nature – you know that dreamy scenario with leaves, trees, blue and green. “Let’s walk among the holy places / Of sacred green and blue” – still had that line in my head later. Because sometimes the holy spaces aren’t buildings, if you know what I mean. They’re someone’s arms, or the slow hum of birds outside the city.

Holy – Digital Detox, Delivered in Melody

Holy by Jacre & Lucie Glang brings calm, leaving everything else behind. It hands you a blanket and invites you to step away. It’s rebellion wrapped in romance – an indie folk nudge to go offline, shut the lights, and lie under a tree. Love as mindfulness, intimacy as anti-consumerism.

It’s not that kind of spiritual. For me, it felt like those early hours when the world’s quiet and you finally hear your own thoughts How shared silences sometimes speak louder than words.

Barefoot and present – Lucie Glang

Jacre is the project of British songwriter Julian Ransom – writing with heart, leaving space where the listener can breathe. His indie folk sound has reached BBC and international radios, always grounded in something honest and close.

Lucie Glang’s voice carries both quiet and weight – poetic, raw, and rooted in something real. I only got to dive into her music today, but it hit in that way that makes you stop everything for a minute. She writes songs and jokes that her dog might not even care – but trust me, you will.

Mixed by Charles-Henry Volk and mastered by Philip Marsden, the sonic landscape of Holy holds steady to the calm it offers. It gave me space to breathe. That’s rare these days. Just two voices, a guitar, and the idea that maybe the world doesn’t need to be louder – it just needs to listen more.

If this track sat with you the way it did with me, take a second – head over to www.jacre.net or scroll through this link. You’ll find them on Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, YouTube, and X.
