about

Fundamentally this song is about the deep need and desire we share as human to communicate with each other. It’s where we find the light when confronted with darkness. A meaningful connection can be like a blood transfusion, giving us the strength to face our situation, no matter how harrowing… even when ‘smoke haze breeds a blood red sun’… an occurrence that strikes a collective anxiety amongst many rural Victorians in summer.

lyrics

There Is Light
(words: John Holton/Steve Lane. music Steve Lane)

some days
we are bags of light
overflowing
so much to say
so much insight
ever-knowing
to cut the conversation short
is like ripping out an intravenous line

there is light
there is light

but history has shown
we will always find each other
like moths to flame
sister to brother
no matter how dark the horizon
or when smoke haze breeds a blood red sun

there is light
there is light
