about

I originally wrote this tune as a simple piano/ vocal feature, and then it turned into a full production, with parts recorded in Vancouver, New York, and Malaga, Spain, thanks to the collaboration of talented friends.

Although it could be described as a romantic ballad, ‘turn the lights back down’ is also a way of saying, let’s cut down on all the noise and distraction, and focus on the love that connects us all.

lyrics

LYRIC:
Let’s take it slow, turn the lights back down
I wanna savour each shadow and glow
Turn the lights back down

If you’ve been waiting as long as I’ve been longing to be found
Let me feel my way around
Turn the lights back down

Give me some time
To rest here in your arms
Where all the wires of my soul will unwind
Resting in your arms

I wanna seize every sigh as I unravel all your charms
Let it go without alarm
As I rest here in your arms

The overtones of the love you’ve grown enrapture and surround
With a sweeter sweeter sound
When you turn the lights back down
