The Spotlight (Single Version) 05:28
lyrics
The Spotlight =========== In times of trouble There’s only one thing That can save your mind The darkness doubles You pray for sun But it’s something you never find Grab the spotlight In its halo you will fly Grab the spotlight Use its halo to hide From all the strife When all you have are tears And you’d rather die To save the world the trouble Is it the darkness you fear? Or the fall from on high? That’s when your pain doubles Grab the spotlight In its halo you will fly Grab the spotlight Use its halo to hide From all the strife Deep in the darkness you Wrap the shadows around you You don’t know where to climb Deep in the shadows when you Wrap the shadows around you You don’t know on high But I still feel like I did that night In the darkness of my light But I still feel like I did that night In the darkness of my light Sometime I’ll get back to the night…

Searching For The Lost (B-Side) 04:26
lyrics
Searching For The Lost =================== I tell myself I need To get past all this pain But I know I can’t Until I find what I lost I tell myself that You’re still out there somewhere But is that just wanting To relive the past? It’s hard to move forward When you’re always Searching for the lost There are still signs of you Near that oak tree in the forest I still remember the scene Standing forlorn Your sister by my side (As she always is…) We screamed We cried This pain we can’t abide We screamed We cried This pain we can’t abide I’ve only caught a glimpse of you Since that dark night I was laying in the dew In that dark night It’s hard to move forward When you’re always Searching for the lost

info

about

The first single from the forthcoming twelfth studio album, Confronting The Shadows by Experimental Rock artist Candle. The Spotlight features tracks that further explore the concept of Confronting The Shadows, including the exclusive B-Sides Searching For The Lost & Misanthropic Expectations.

Here are what people are saying about The Spotlight:

"Really nice, powerful and anthemic despite the minimal instrumentation. Your voice really carries it. One of those moments when the room falls silent and (some) people put down their phones."
- Ken Ficara, FAWM

"I feel like I'm watching you on stage in a huge stadium - this is captivating, very raw emotions here, I like it a lot. Also, because it isn't polished. Very very good."
- intoyourlight, FAWM

"The music is beautiful and hypnotic, with vocals almost as melodramatic as meatloaf's. and you are right. that solo at the end is a keeper for sure."
- Bill White, FAWM

Stay tuned for the release of Confronting The Shadows.

See You In The Shadows…
