"I'll Leave a Light On" (Offical Video) released

‘I’ll Leave a Light On’ is the second single released from 2026’s “How to Cast a Shadow”.

Ray Alder on this track. *“‘I’ll Leave a Light On’ is much heavier than anything on Really Good Terrible Things, the first NSE album. It has a darker melancholic feel that fits well on this album. I loosely based the lyrics on a character from my favorite sci-fi series. I won’t say which, but they do use the quote ‘out there in the black’.”*

I’ll Leave a Light On

You walk alone among the dead you never took more than you could give
They say a time will someday come when there’s no moon and there’s no sun

In your hour of need drown your sorrows to forget tomorrow
The stars above turn gray close your eyes but the memories stay

You’re on the run from the ghosts of your past
A fragile heart offered up in your hands
I’ll leave a light on in case you come back but I won’t hold my breath
You’re lost in the black

By now you know there’s no reprieve no gods to follow no truths to believe

You’re on the run from the ghosts of your past
A fragile heart offered up in your hands
I’ll leave a light on in case you come back but I won’t hold my breath
While you’re in the black

Your silence screams louder than words a heavy heart beats but can’t be heard

You’re on the run from the ghosts of your past
A fragile heart offered up in your hands
I’ll leave a light on in case you come back but I won’t hold my breath
You’re lost in the black
