I can't stop listening to this song even though it breaks my heart I'm now 90 days clean and sober after spending months on the streets and close to the end I'm now back with my beautiful family who left there light on !!!
Sadly noone answerd you to this posting. So, here iam. Have a light for you. Stay very well, my congratulations fpr beeing clean. Keep up the good work, every single day. I hope, after 11 month you still hold on
Dominic Dobson bless you...keep on keeping on, a day at a time! I am now clean of heroin and crack 15 and a half years. if I can make it, so can you...I will leave a light on x
2:01 my son has been clean and sober from meth for almost 6 years. He has a wife and beautiful boys! I was and still am his light! I will always be here for my children who have gone through astray. For all of you out there I pray daily for all the addicts and their families. ❤
It's almost 5am and I'm up listening to this and crying. I have a huge connection to this song as I have countless friends and family members resort to drugs. And this song just reminds me of the struggle and effort I made for them and they made for themselves. The encouragement I could provide them whether through words or in prayer. Though, I could never capture it truly like this song does. This song will forever be shared by myself and make my message easier as I help those I know get through their addictions and habits. Whether it be drugs, alcohol, self abuse, etc. My light will always be on for them as well as myself as I sometimes struggle with things. Been clean from self abuse for almost 3 years now. No matter what you are going through, help yourself and others. Leave the light on for yourself as well. Because it's easy to lose yourself in the efforts of helping others. ❤ just some 5 am thoughts while listening to this. Ignore my rambles.
Aleisha Satterfield thank you very much for sharing. I like to talk to strangers so I hope you don't mind, you don't have to answer either. I am at a point where all effort is meaningless. The days are getting darker. Hope is a lie. It is like it only exists to let us believe something and suffer because we wanted it so bad to happen but nothing changed. And we don't see light anymore. It gets even darker never thought of such darkness. I mean I can understand them all. People judging others, because they are taking drugs or smth have never been at this point. But how can you still shine for others? How did you get out? Do you have hope?
Hi Joe :) There is hope, there really is, there are people that believe in you, even if you don't believe it yourself right now. I know that there are a lot of judgmental people around, and that, in my opinion, is down to ignorance. You don't have to shine for others - all you have to be is yourself. There might be some things that you you don't like about yourself - that is easy, we all have that which is a bit shit, but part of the human condition for many, I think :/ What is harder sometimes, is to recognise the good things about yourself, whether it is recycling, being kind to animals, sharing candy, growing vegetables, whatever :) I'm so sorry if that sounds kinda preachy, it really wasn't meant to! Positive change is possible and achievable. xxx
So Proud of all the people in this comment section who went through addiction and are now sobers 🫶🏼 So so Proud of you guys you win the hardest inner fight ever. Keep safe and may your Life be amazing 🤘🏼
So underrated. Why is he not blowing up with millions of views? Why are celebrities who drown themselves in auto tune given 50 times the amount of views that this pure, talented man is getting? Makes no damn sense.
The problem's just, that people are to lazy to look for actual good music (like Tom Walkers) and most people don't have taste. I mean: How else did we get from something like “Bohemian Rapsody“ to “Gucci Gang“?
People who undertake the responsibility of leaving that light on are truly phenomenal people because that light is a lifeline and not everyone has the emotional strength to put that out there
Lost my son Ryan aged 25 a couple of months back to suicide. depression, drink and drugs this song resonates eternally for me. Rest in peace son I will leave the light on.......
Anybody who is struggling with their mental health should listen to this. And look for that light on that HAS been left on for you... we are all vulnerable at times.
After losing my baby brother to suicide after years of addiction on Sept 16, 2018 and then independently founding a nonprofit mental health, addiction and suicide prevention outreach honoring his memory, this song - in addition to childhood influences of living in a small town in the Bible-belt of Appalachia and the unspoken generational language the familiar glow of a porch light we all knew growing up and passed down to our own children, were the deepest inspirations behind the foundation's name, THE PORCH LIGHT PROMISE PROJECT. Anyone who's from that area knows that the light of a porch light shining in the distance always meant that it was time to come home when we were small and, as we grew into adulthood, that same familiar sight meant that there was someone at home who loved us that we all knew that felt we mattered enough to cared whether or not we were alive and safe and was waiting up to greet us and had taken the time to turn on that lamplight, hoping that it would help guide each of our paths safely home.
I understand this song to be about drugs, but my son suffered from a mental disorder & it fits the situation. He passed away 2 years ago, this song makes me think about him. Thank you Tom Walker for singing with such conviction & soul!
I can't write in words how this song motivated and pulled me out from the depths of hell I created and sunk into myself. This one song truly saved me. The lyrics are one of the best I've ever heard and I fell in love with the song at once, it's unreal how deeply it resonates with all of us who battle with addiction, or just a person who is down and trying his or her best fighting to get back up. This song is my redemption, reminding me of the bright future I once dreamed of but forgotten. I can't describe how thankful I am. This song means the world to me.
This is genius....if you know you know...having a loved one out there lost in drugs...the emotion in the the chorus , the intensity, urgency, pain and fear... ALL REAL if youve lived it....A Modern Masterpeice..😮
Hi everyone,i was adicted on crack and heroin for over 20 years and im proud of myself staying clean for 5 years 💡on for who's fighting for there life back,best wishes from Portugal 🇵🇹
For so many reasons I can't listen to this song without crying. Please, God, protect my friends, those who are still struggling and those who have disappeared.
Been lost to addiction for 15 years of my life i now at 8 year clean and free from the clutches of the underworld this song always breaks me and uplifts me at the same time hoping i can be the light for brothers and sisters out there lost in the world and whom are battling the enemy internally and externally
Breaks and uplifts. Now those words hit me. I'm almost 7 yrs clean from heroine I started 1 month b4 my 13th birthday and am now 38 and expecting my first child in October.
It's the best song my wife and I have heard she's dieing of cancer and doesn't have much time left this song is kind of the only thing we do listen and reflect on life ,props to anyone over coming or battling addiction stay strong and true to yourself ,love you all .win your battle 💪 or maybe you already won .
All love from Wales I'm going through the same thing with my mother she got cancer and I'm a x addict it's so hard but we will get there.... All love from Wales Swansea city... X
I lost my friend a couple of years ago to depression and drugs that ended up being his way to leave this earth... He called me the night he decided to take the step and I missed the warning signs completely... I sang this at his funeral and this song left a lasting impression to my very core Thank you Tom Walker
I don’t deserve the light left on iv been that consumed in alcohol, but my sister is still there and sent me this song, which has saved my life many times now, thank you Tom and thank you good people for all your comments , puts things massively into perspective hearing of your losses and heartbreak- alcohol is so so dangerous
I have been in recovery now for almost 8 months and I listen to this song and symbolize this as GOD waiting for me to come home and hold him close again cause.....it is only by GODS LOVE AND GRACE I AM here in my recovery loving me and putting him first and all falls in place with that focus. For it is he that keep his light on for me in my troubled heart and mind.
What a vocal performance! Tom is always good but this is live recording! He’s soft and gentle in all the right places and then attacks is… BOOM!! What a great artist ❤
Sobriety is such a big conquer sober 2 years anyone hurting ..seek help you can get back on track you just need to want it. Think through your addiction you can find other things that raise those endorphins..that are beneficial to your health i pray for all you struggling listen to this song but there are people before you who struggled the same way you are right now and we turned it around..guess what so can you takes time and hard work but i believe in all of you much love to my fellow addicts we can all get through this!
One year ago on this night my little girl came to the world and left us the next morning. Lighting a candle now and leaving a light on. This song isn't about that, but to me it always will be.
Im in recovery. 4.5 years🙌 This is the BEST live version of a song that I've YET to hear in my 35 years of living🙏 boy this hits so much deeper without all that extra music in thd background 💯👏 your voicd is just amazing 😍
this song helped me through some of the toughest times of my life. even though I wasn't really involved with addictions and all it just reminded me that someone's there to support me. till this day i break into tears listening to this. Tom the power your voice has is amazing. i cant thank you enough ❤
I’m an addict that is in the dance between sobriety and using I just found this song and it’s helped me to not feel like a piece of crap I feel like an imposter But his voice , the words, the music is a masterpiece It lets me forgive myself for a few minutes as I listen Yes addiction I’ve heard is using to get through the pain of the day I can’t justify it’s a mistake if I keep doing it But it gives me peace and makes the tears run that don’t normally come out
In a world full of hatred and suffering, wars and fighting, death and destruction this song gives hope that it can one day be resolved. This is more than a song. This is an anthem
Leave a light on The second someone mentioned you were all alone I could feel the trouble coursing through your veins Now I know, it's got a hold Just a phone call left unanswered, had me sparking up These cigarettes won't stop me wondering where you are Don't let go, keep a hold If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be Safe to feel our grace 'cause we've all made mistakes If you've lost your way I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind Lately you've been searching for a darker place To hide, that's alright But if you carry on abusing, you'll be robbed from us I refuse to lose another friend to drugs Just come home, don't let go If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be Safe to feel our grace 'cause we've all made mistakes If you've lost your way I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill Guiding like a lighthouse, it's a place where you'll be Safe to feel our grace and if you've lost your way If you've lost your way (I will leave the light on) And I know you're down and out now, but I need you to be brave Hiding from the truth ain't gonna make this all okay I see your pain, if you don't feel our grace And you've lost your way I will leave the light on I will leave the light on 'Cause I will leave the light on
13 years sober this december. not a SINGLE day does it get easier. lost 8 friends from relapse OD. for them i keep fighting. my light is ALWAYS on for anybody lost in the dark.
The second someone mentioned you were all alone I could feel the trouble coursing through your veins Now I know, it’s got a hold Just a phone call left unanswered, had me sparking up These cigarettes won’t stop me wondering where you are Don’t let go, keep a hold If you look into the distance, there’s a house upon the hill Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you’ll be Safe to feel our grace ‘cause we’ve all made mistakes If you’ve lost your way… I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on Tell me what’s been happening, what’s been on your mind Lately you’ve been searching for a darker place To hide, that’s alright But if you carry on abusing, you’ll be robbed from us I refuse to lose another friend to drugs Just come home, don’t let go If you look into the distance, there’s a house upon the hill Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you’ll be Safe to feel our grace ‘cause we’ve all made mistakes If you’ve lost your way… I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on If you look into the distance, there’s a house upon the hill Guiding like a lighthouse, it’s a place where you’ll be Safe to feel our grace and if you’ve lost your way If you’ve lost your way (I will leave the light on) And I know you’re down and out now, but I need you to be brave Hiding from the truth ain’t gonna make this all okay I feel your pain if you don’t feel our grace And you’ve lost your way I will leave the light on I will leave the light on ‘Cause I will leave the light on.
1 year battling alcoholism, heart break, destruction, betrayal 💔, melt downs, break downs, cold sweats, the night mares, the screaming in my head, the sheer amount pain I feel as a man is unhealthy. Im alright tho, fine being abandoned. Im not used to anything. Same sized heart battling for survival in a cold unnatural world. My biggest down fall was core hope and faith.
Grace is a gift that comes when you least expect it !! I'm clean now to do or only a few days but I'll stay clean for good this go around. May you and your family be in blessed each day.
This helped me during my brother go off paths and he went to prison… my addiction went worse, but this and Eminem held my head up! Sooo my dear souls when someone says music is everything this is it is the whole world !!! U can survive anything ! Cos they been where u are now
Who is hereafter listening on October 2019 What a masterpiece of art from most Genuine artist. Tom walker has healed so many obsessed people from this soul song. Keep it up Bro , you are a legend in both heaven and earth
heard this song for about a 100 times. every time it gives me goosebumps. i get carried away with the music. simple but powerful. thanks Sony for unveiling this hidden talented person.
I don’t think people truly understand how powerful drug addiction really is. It’s so easy to have never had an addiction to look down on someone with this sickness or tell them to just stop. It’s not as easy as u think to quit something so strong even knowing what it’s doing to u and ur life and to people u love to still remain on it should b enough to show people just how powerful a drug addiction can b. I’ve watched many friends I grew up with suffer through this and lose everything including they’re children and I’m talking about smart intelligent people. It’s not always homeless bad criminal people like the public seems to portray it as. And I believe people truly want out of this disease but they don’t have the money or resources that the more fortunate people with money do that can go to nice expensive clinics that look like resorts and mess up n go to a different one..no most people don’t have those priveledges . I really don’t think they will ever stop the drug addiction killing people everyday until they make places that people with no insurance and no job or money can go to to get help..methadone clinics are great but it’s not a solution to the problem and u have to pay and u end up addicted to a legal drug just as bad as what u were on. The govt needs to wake up and provide places for people that can’t afford treatment centers n nice resort facilities.. until they figure it out people are going to keep dying every day hooked on drugs.. you can only do so much by talking to a person and providing friendly help u can’t watch them and b with them 24 7.. I love this song and I love that he brings attn to the drug addiction epidemic in this world but we need more free places for people to go to.. that’s the only way to help.. it cost more to imprison someone then it would to provide treatment care for them.. sad..
I know this song is about drug abuse but to me this song is about Jesus and God. He's always there when you've lost your way. God's light is always on.
It's all too easy to ignore the fact that Jesus is the figure that introduced Hell as a literal place of eternal torment and for tens of billions of non-Christians throughout human history, they await an everlasting lake of fire after the Second Coming.
Everyone listens to this and relates in their own way...I have come to realize that I suffer from ptsd from watching my brother die on the side of a highway over 43 years ago and I live in some dark places, and I just lose my way from what I've seen and ask why I had to witness the trauma. I want to believe he has a light on when my time comes...This song so makes me think of you Russ..
This feels like It's a pray to someone to keep going, because everything will be ok... THIS SAVES PEOLE... and a lot of people. So thanks for this song❤
Good Lord... I've know this song for few years now through a Flemish series called "Gevoel voor Tumor". For some reason I wanted to hear it again today and around 2:38 minutes into it, I was suddenly struck by real emotions. There's a certain way in which he's singing "... house upon the hill" there... with such raw power and emotion in his voice, that really struck a cord with me. And the entire part that still follows after that, kept keeping me on the verge of tears. What an awesome singer! Only true talent can convey such real emotions within their audience. Beautiful!
Heading to treatment Sat and nervous excited sad worried happy. All these emotions first time trying to quite after almost 15 years of use. I am sending you lots of love and prayers to keep going thank you for this beautiful song
@@RealKennychesneymusic I am 109 days sober and happy found God and so blessed thank you for asking I appreciate you very much sending love and hugs hope you have a wonderful day
@@jeniferjohnston8810 I can tell that you are surprised. Well, I don’t often reply to comments on RUclips due to my busy schedules so I think it’d be great to keep In touch with you on . Are you on Google chat?
Instant shivers down to the bones... May THIS be a small honest Thanks to all those friends out there, standing aside of a beloved struggeling one... Nobody will be able to repay your efforts. And Thank you Mr. Walker
This is a tuff one to listen to for me, as my beautiful daughter is still lost to drugs and mental health, but this old light is always on for her. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I couldn’t finish listening yet. You’ve written a beautiful song that speaks directly to too many of us. Leave the light on. We’ll try to save as many as we can.
Wow..... too powerful man. This song gives me goosebumps. I got a little over 3 years clean, all by the grace of God. Man this song has me hurting for my brother and my friends out there still suffering.
This Song Is So Truthful and Inspiring .. Especially In these uncertain even hellish times we are all witnessing..I play it over and over.. again. Rest in peace Sister , Brother, Sister-In - Law, Mum and Dad. .. Looking Upwards Always In Prayers ...🙏🙏🙏. * Leave A Light On* , To guide me through the darkness For When It's My Time. Until then , I will continue to stand strong on the Solid Foundation of Truth & Unconditional Love, Through The Power of Prayers ...Acts 10 🫒33-35..
What a truly amazing, uplifting and inspirational song. It is not very often that such tragedy and lives lost and buried in the scourge that is drug abuse and addiction come up to do battle against a message of such profound hope and love and comfort. Thank you Tom Walker for YOUR BRIGHT LIGHT in an often rough and raging sea that delivers nothing but darkness, deprivation, suffering and loss. You offer hope and inspiration for a better day to so many people who will hear this song and seek healing and redemption. You are a good soul indeed Sir.
This Song is deeper than my cuts during our country war on drugs i lost more than 5 of my friends they are shoot dead at the streets,mall and one inside their home,its heartbreaking,I am 6 yrs clean and sober ❤ recovery is possible it works if you work for it ,and you are stronger than you think you are
Sometimes your surrounding's are so dark, that you can't see the light or yourself. Listen to the primordial soul that made you feel good and comfortable. That bump in your heart... is what keeps the light on.
When I was losing hope on music these days I hear this man. Its been quite a while that I didn't get goose bumps listening someone singing. A devoted fan from now on... Talented people are almost extint.
@@susansavage3269 I can tell that you are surprised. Well, I don’t often reply to comments on RUclips due to my busy schedules so I think it’d be great to keep In touch with you on . Are you on Google chat?
This reminds me of my cousin….who never really made an impact on life. Like he gave up too early too young. I will always think of him as a light snubbed out. Matt love you mate
I have lost three friends to over dosing. I have lost two of mine best friends to suicide. I myself have also reached an all time low back in 2019. I come back to this song, each and everytime I am missing them or feel like I've had enough of everything and everyone. This song reaches deep inside of my soul and comforts me, knowing that I keep my light on, and knowing that I will always be there for those people that need me, and knowing that they wouldn't have wanted me to give up. I have lost so many people in my young years to tragedies and misfortunes. If you are out there struggling, with depression or with drugs, reach out to somebody. Hopefully somebody around you will have their light on as well, and if not, then you be your own lighthouse and keep on shining.
You are amazing. You are inspiring and the essence of your voice is a soothing breeze over the lonesome beach. Never stop singing and never stop loving it. You have worked really hard to get here, to acquire the voice that moves through time like the flowing sand in the glass. It touched me. Thank you (: Best wishes A happy guy.
The perfect trio. A strong and powerful voice, strings and piano. Oh and the words are actually the star. This is the only version I listen to. Even better than the single. Thank you to all those who performed so brilliantly. You should be immensely proud.
Thanks Mr Walker. You reminded me to shed a tear for those lost to addiction, we know it is born from the horrendous things people have encountered. My tears brought a smile to my face when i remembered the good times.
5 years latter and i know, i'll always love this song! This song has always kept me moving despite time pass, life goes, people die but this song never gets old .Am leaving this here so that when a person likes it I'll come back to saw this song.
I can't stop listening to this song even though it breaks my heart I'm now 90 days clean and sober after spending months on the streets and close to the end I'm now back with my beautiful family who left there light on !!!
Sadly noone answerd you to this posting. So, here iam. Have a light for you. Stay very well, my congratulations fpr beeing clean. Keep up the good work, every single day. I hope, after 11 month you still hold on
Dominic Dobson bless you...keep on keeping on, a day at a time! I am now clean of heroin and crack 15 and a half years. if I can make it, so can you...I will leave a light on x
Dominic stay focused and keep on that journey..xx
And don't you go turning your own light off again!
Bless you dominic ❤

Your prayers are powerful and help more than you know. Thank you.

It's almost 5am and I'm up listening to this and crying. I have a huge connection to this song as I have countless friends and family members resort to drugs.

So underrated. Why is he not blowing up with millions of views? Why are celebrities who drown themselves in auto tune given 50 times the amount of views that this pure, talented man is getting? Makes no damn sense.
Emma Johnson i was just thinking the same thing.his voice is amazing.he should be getting billions of views on youtube.
He is great...but if u want to see pure untapped tallent...check out tash sultana
Emma Johnson VERISSIMO!!!
UN MOSTRO!!!
BUONA GIORNATA E SERENE FESTIVITÀ...
Emma Johnson i heard this yesterday. I love it! I do believe he speaks of grace and forgiveness. Thats beautiful.
The problem's just, that people are to lazy to look for actual good music (like Tom Walkers) and most people don't have taste.
I mean: How else did we get from something like “Bohemian Rapsody“ to “Gucci Gang“?
Mark my words. He will be huge.
100% True ;)
He should already be huge!
he's already huge in our eyes.
Yes he will
Nopsclips yuge!!!!
People who undertake the responsibility of leaving that light on are truly phenomenal people because that light is a lifeline and not everyone has the emotional strength to put that out there
Been there, did that. But sometime while leave a light on for others, you can lose your own's.
this is so true. rumble in my mind all the time.
THE HARDEST THING I EVER DID WAS LEFT A LIGHT 🕯️ ON ....🙏💗
Beautifully said
Definitely takes someone special. ❤
Lost my son Ryan aged 25 a couple of months back to suicide. depression, drink and drugs this song resonates eternally for me.
Rest in peace son I will leave the light on.......

You got this, and we will always leave our light on for you. Best of wishes! GOD BLESS!!
😢God bless you🙏
i admire your strength. stay strong
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Anybody who is struggling with their mental health should listen to this. And look for that light on that HAS been left on for you... we are all vulnerable at times.
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support💖
After losing my baby brother to suicide after years of addiction on Sept 16, 2018 and then independently founding a nonprofit mental health, addiction and suicide prevention outreach honoring his memory, this song - in addition to childhood influences of living in a small town in the Bible-belt of Appalachia and the unspoken generational language the familiar glow of a porch light we all knew growing up and passed down to our own children, were the deepest inspirations behind the foundation's name, THE PORCH LIGHT PROMISE PROJECT.
Anyone who's from that area knows that the light of a porch light shining in the distance always meant that it was time to come home when we were small and, as we grew into adulthood, that same familiar sight meant that there was someone at home who loved us that we all knew that felt we mattered enough to cared whether or not we were alive and safe and was waiting up to greet us and had taken the time to turn on that lamplight, hoping that it would help guide each of our paths safely home.
So very sad to hear about your brother 🥲addiction take the best souls xx

My brother too suffered from mental disorder. In 2012 he commited suicide
Keep that light on momma. You still need it. You still need you to keep rescuing you. 🖤
I can't write in words how this song motivated and pulled me out from the depths of hell I created and sunk into myself.
This one song truly saved me.
The lyrics are one of the best I've ever heard and I fell in love with the song at once, it's unreal how deeply it resonates with all of us who battle with addiction, or just a person who is down and trying his or her best fighting to get back up.
This song is my redemption, reminding me of the bright future I once dreamed of but forgotten.
I can't describe how thankful I am. This song means the world to me.
❤️🙏💪
Amen ,I’m so happy for you, stay strong 💪 and healthy. Prayers 🙏 are with you.❤❤❤
Keep going back. The light is always still on for you. ❤
I going to use this as you did not in brilliant space at min
I fully concur and say exactly the same - bless you brother x
This is genius....if you know you know...having a loved one out there lost in drugs...the emotion in the the chorus , the intensity, urgency, pain and fear...
ALL REAL if youve lived it....A Modern Masterpeice..😮
I had to listen to this for school as homework, but this song is actually amazing and I have so many ideas on what to write about from this!
tom walker is so underrated, this is truly amazing, no words.
el loco de la pradera I agree. Tom Walker is underrated

Hi everyone,i was adicted on crack and heroin for over 20 years and im proud of myself staying clean for 5 years 💡on for who's fighting for there life back,best wishes from Portugal 🇵🇹
For so many reasons I can't listen to this song without crying. Please, God, protect my friends, those who are still struggling and those who have disappeared.
For a person who isn't always a fan of live sessions and loves the official version, may I say, this live is f**king amazing!!!!
I almost skipped it because I also don't like live versions. But I'm blown away.
His voice is so perfect
nhạc ông ý hay mà :)) mỗi tội VN ít người biết đến quá
Hình như vn có mỗi mình sub nhạc của Tom :))

Been lost to addiction for 15 years of my life i now at 8 year clean and free from the clutches of the underworld this song always breaks me and uplifts me at the same time hoping i can be the light for brothers and sisters out there lost in the world and whom are battling the enemy internally and externally
Breaks and uplifts. Now those words hit me. I'm almost 7 yrs clean from heroine I started 1 month b4 my 13th birthday and am now 38 and expecting my first child in October.
It's the best song my wife and I have heard she's dieing of cancer and doesn't have much time left this song is kind of the only thing we do listen and reflect on life ,props to anyone over coming or battling addiction stay strong and true to yourself ,love you all .win your battle 💪 or maybe you already won .
All love from Wales I'm going through the same thing with my mother she got cancer and I'm a x addict it's so hard but we will get there....
All love from Wales Swansea city...

I lost my friend a couple of years ago to depression and drugs that ended up being his way to leave this earth... He called me the night he decided to take the step and I missed the warning signs completely... I sang this at his funeral and this song left a lasting impression to my very core
Thank you Tom Walker
I don’t deserve the light left on iv been that consumed in alcohol, but my sister is still there and sent me this song, which has saved my life many times now, thank you Tom and thank you good people for all your comments , puts things massively into perspective hearing of your losses and heartbreak- alcohol is so so dangerous
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support❤
I have been in recovery now for almost 8 months and I listen to this song and symbolize this as GOD waiting for me to come home and hold him close again cause.....it is only by GODS LOVE AND GRACE I AM here in my recovery loving me and putting him first and all falls in place with that focus. For it is he that keep his light on for me in my troubled heart and mind.
What a vocal performance! Tom is always good but this is live recording! He’s soft and gentle in all the right places and then attacks is… BOOM!! What a great artist ❤
Sending LOVE to anyone reading this comment, at this time. This version means something more painful, the challenge is real. Prayers to all 🙏♥️
Sobriety is such a big conquer sober 2 years anyone hurting ..seek help you can get back on track you just need to want it. Think through your addiction you can find other things that raise those endorphins..that are beneficial to your health i pray for all you struggling listen to this song but there are people before you who struggled the same way you are right now and we turned it around..guess what so can you takes time and hard work but i believe in all of you much love to my fellow addicts we can all get through this!
Such a beautiful song sung by a beautiful soul! ❤
One year ago on this night my little girl came to the world and left us the next morning. Lighting a candle now and leaving a light on. This song isn't about that, but to me it always will be.
🙏
First time hearing this artist and that is an impressive voice, such control and clarity with amazing tone. Wow.
Im in recovery. 4.5 years🙌 This is the BEST live version of a song that I've YET to hear in my 35 years of living🙏 boy this hits so much deeper without all that extra music in thd background 💯👏 your voicd is just amazing 😍
Well done girl ❣️❣️❣️❣️ one day I will 👋 you in the club I’m on my struggle path but I will be there 🖤 soon I hope 🤞🏼
2:06 my soul leaves my body and chills take over. Magestic.
Unreal
this song helped me through some of the toughest times of my life. even though I wasn't really involved with addictions and all it just reminded me that someone's there to support me. till this day i break into tears listening to this. Tom the power your voice has is amazing. i cant thank you enough ❤
I’m an addict that is in the dance between sobriety and using
I just found this song and it’s helped me to not feel like a piece of crap
I feel like an imposter
But his voice , the words, the music is a masterpiece
It lets me forgive myself for a few minutes as I listen
Yes addiction I’ve heard is using to get through the pain of the day
I can’t justify it’s a mistake if I keep doing it
But it gives me peace and makes the tears run that don’t normally come out
In a world full of hatred and suffering, wars and fighting, death and destruction this song gives hope that it can one day be resolved. This is more than a song. This is an anthem
How this song is so underreached, been listening to Tom since 2018 and this deserves 100 mil views man.
This is the most beautiful and accurate song about addiction I've ever heard. It brings tears to my eyes.
Leaving a light on for my father.
Leave a light on
The second someone mentioned you were all alone
I could feel the trouble coursing through your veins
Now I know, it's got a hold
Just a phone call left unanswered, had me sparking up
These cigarettes won't stop me wondering where you are
Don't let go, keep a hold
If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be
Safe to feel our grace 'cause we've all made mistakes
If you've lost your way
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind
Lately you've been searching for a darker place
To hide, that's alright
But if you carry on abusing, you'll be robbed from us
I refuse to lose another friend to drugs
Just come home, don't let go
If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be
Safe to feel our grace 'cause we've all made mistakes
If you've lost your way
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
Guiding like a lighthouse, it's a place where you'll be
Safe to feel our grace and if you've lost your way
If you've lost your way (I will leave the light on)
And I know you're down and out now, but I need you to be brave
Hiding from the truth ain't gonna make this all okay
I see your pain, if you don't feel our grace
And you've lost your way
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
'Cause I will leave the light on
Thank you 🙂
It's good to see you got the "I know you're down and out now" line right! The amount of lyrics websites that have written "i know you don't know oh"
Thanks a lot bud 😉

Wow leaving a light on
To the other 8 million people just think about how lucky we are to be one of the people that know about this guy
This voice!! The end is so powerful, I love this !
13 years sober this december. not a SINGLE day does it get easier. lost 8 friends from relapse OD. for them i keep fighting. my light is ALWAYS on for anybody lost in the dark.
Honestly Tom you have had one of the most inspirational and powerful voices of all time for many years imo
this is the best version in my opinion
Glad to be the 100th like here
The second someone mentioned you were all alone
I could feel the trouble coursing through your veins
Now I know, it’s got a hold
Just a phone call left unanswered, had me sparking up
These cigarettes won’t stop me wondering where you are
Don’t let go, keep a hold
If you look into the distance, there’s a house upon the hill
Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you’ll be
Safe to feel our grace ‘cause we’ve all made mistakes
If you’ve lost your way…
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
Tell me what’s been happening, what’s been on your mind
Lately you’ve been searching for a darker place
To hide, that’s alright
But if you carry on abusing, you’ll be robbed from us
I refuse to lose another friend to drugs
Just come home, don’t let go
If you look into the distance, there’s a house upon the hill
Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you’ll be
Safe to feel our grace ‘cause we’ve all made mistakes
If you’ve lost your way…
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
If you look into the distance, there’s a house upon the hill
Guiding like a lighthouse, it’s a place where you’ll be
Safe to feel our grace and if you’ve lost your way
If you’ve lost your way (I will leave the light on)
And I know you’re down and out now, but I need you to be brave
Hiding from the truth ain’t gonna make this all okay
I feel your pain if you don’t feel our grace
And you’ve lost your way
I will leave the light on
I will leave the light on
‘Cause I will leave the light on.

as a psychology student, this song means a lot to me. to send a message thru a song, its impact goes beyond.
For sure
1 year battling alcoholism, heart break, destruction, betrayal 💔, melt downs, break downs, cold sweats, the night mares, the screaming in my head, the sheer amount pain I feel as a man is unhealthy. Im alright tho, fine being abandoned. Im not used to anything. Same sized heart battling for survival in a cold unnatural world. My biggest down fall was core hope and faith.
You can do it, stay strong
How are you now_?
Grace is a gift that comes when you least expect it !! I'm clean now to do or only a few days but I'll stay clean for good this go around. May you and your family be in blessed each day.
This helped me during my brother go off paths and he went to prison… my addiction went worse, but this and Eminem held my head up!
Sooo my dear souls when someone says music is everything this is it is the whole world !!! U can survive anything ! Cos they been where u are now
Lost my uncle Doug to drug abuse in December 2019. It’s hard to put how this song makes me feel into words. Beautiful and amazing job.❤️
Love this song. I heard first time just before bad news my friend was murdered in Scotland day before Christmas. This Light is for him. R.I.P [*]
RIP
aqua oxygen head up angel
aqua oxygen im sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss
Tom Walker - splendid lyrics, beautifully sung ,so touching , heart warming . No wonder it is said music is the soul of the universe.
Who is hereafter listening on October 2019
What a masterpiece of art from most Genuine artist. Tom walker has healed so many obsessed people from this soul song. Keep it up Bro , you are a legend in both heaven and earth
heard this song for about a 100 times. every time it gives me goosebumps. i get carried away with the music. simple but powerful. thanks Sony for unveiling this hidden talented person.
I don’t think people truly understand how powerful drug addiction really is. It’s so easy to have never had an addiction to look down on someone with this sickness or tell them to just stop. It’s not as easy as u think to quit something so strong even knowing what it’s doing to u and ur life and to people u love to still remain on it should b enough to show people just how powerful a drug addiction can b. I’ve watched many friends I grew up with suffer through this and lose everything including they’re children and I’m talking about smart intelligent people. It’s not always homeless bad criminal people like the public seems to portray it as. And I believe people truly want out of this disease but they don’t have the money or resources that the more fortunate people with money do that can go to nice expensive clinics that look like resorts and mess up n go to a different one..no most people don’t have those priveledges . I really don’t think they will ever stop the drug addiction killing people everyday until they make places that people with no insurance and no job or money can go to to get help..methadone clinics are great but it’s not a solution to the problem and u have to pay and u end up addicted to a legal drug just as bad as what u were on. The govt needs to wake up and provide places for people that can’t afford treatment centers n nice resort facilities.. until they figure it out people are going to keep dying every day hooked on drugs.. you can only do so much by talking to a person and providing friendly help u can’t watch them and b with them 24 7.. I love this song and I love that he brings attn to the drug addiction epidemic in this world but we need more free places for people to go to.. that’s the only way to help.. it cost more to imprison someone then it would to provide treatment care for them.. sad..
I know this song is about drug abuse but to me this song is about Jesus and God. He's always there when you've lost your way. God's light is always on.
Was just thinking this myself! God bless you!
It's all too easy to ignore the fact that Jesus is the figure that introduced Hell as a literal place of eternal torment and for tens of billions of non-Christians throughout human history, they await an everlasting lake of fire after the Second Coming.
Yes! I thought so too!
Everyone listens to this and relates in their own way...I have come to realize that I suffer from ptsd from watching my brother die on the side of a highway over 43 years ago and I live in some dark places, and I just lose my way from what I've seen and ask why I had to witness the trauma. I want to believe he has a light on when my time comes...This song so makes me think of you Russ..
Still in addiction and helpless but this song gives me hope.... Salute to all my friends who lost their life to drugs...
I'm a recovering addict of a few drugs and a few mental health disorders. If you ever need to talk I'm here. ❤
This is better than orginal. Way better... So calm yet So powerfull...
This feels like It's a pray to someone to keep going, because everything will be ok... THIS SAVES PEOLE... and a lot of people.
So thanks for this song❤
I know
I can feel this song so deep it makes me shake,I hope this sends a message to anyone who needs help with addiction
Good Lord... I've know this song for few years now through a Flemish series called "Gevoel voor Tumor". For some reason I wanted to hear it again today and around 2:38 minutes into it, I was suddenly struck by real emotions. There's a certain way in which he's singing "... house upon the hill" there... with such raw power and emotion in his voice, that really struck a cord with me. And the entire part that still follows after that, kept keeping me on the verge of tears.
What an awesome singer! Only true talent can convey such real emotions within their audience. Beautiful!
Heading to treatment Sat and nervous excited sad worried happy. All these emotions first time trying to quite after almost 15 years of use. I am sending you lots of love and prayers to keep going thank you for this beautiful song
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support❤

Instant shivers down to the bones...

How can this not speak to your soul?
This song hits the spot perfectly. The words are brilliantly written and every word you can relate too. Best song in years.
This is a tuff one to listen to for me, as my beautiful daughter is still lost to drugs and mental health, but this old light is always on for her.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I couldn’t finish listening yet. You’ve written a beautiful song that speaks directly to too many of us. Leave the light on. We’ll try to save as many as we can.
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support❤🎵
Unbelievable the way he takes you to a different place 👌🏽
Yup
One of the greatest songs ever written, covered, and will be for many years to come. Well done Tom Walker well done 🙌🏼
Wow..... too powerful man. This song gives me goosebumps. I got a little over 3 years clean, all by the grace of God. Man this song has me hurting for my brother and my friends out there still suffering.
Thankyou for your sharing your music with us all Tom Walker. Tuned in from Liverpool England UK 🇬🇧
Jesus, you're so powerful. You're voice is amazing!
This Song Is So Truthful and Inspiring .. Especially In these uncertain even hellish times we are all witnessing..I play it over and over.. again. Rest in peace Sister , Brother, Sister-In - Law, Mum and Dad.
.. Looking Upwards Always In Prayers ...🙏🙏🙏.
* Leave A Light On* , To guide me through the darkness
For When It's My Time.
Until then , I will continue to stand strong on the Solid Foundation of Truth & Unconditional Love, Through The Power of Prayers ...Acts 10 🫒33-35..
What a truly amazing, uplifting and inspirational song. It is not very often that such tragedy and lives lost and buried in the scourge that is drug abuse and addiction come up to do battle against a message of such profound hope and love and comfort. Thank you Tom Walker for YOUR BRIGHT LIGHT in an often rough and raging sea that delivers nothing but darkness, deprivation, suffering and loss. You offer hope and inspiration for a better day to so many people who will hear this song and seek healing and redemption. You are a good soul indeed Sir.
This Song is deeper than my cuts during our country war on drugs i lost more than 5 of my friends they are shoot dead at the streets,mall and one inside their home,its heartbreaking,I am 6 yrs clean and sober ❤ recovery is possible it works if you work for it ,and you are stronger than you think you are
Sometimes your surrounding's are so dark, that you can't see the light or yourself. Listen to the primordial soul that made you feel good and comfortable. That bump in your heart... is what keeps the light on.
How could anybody dislike this? He sounds so great live 😭😭
You never know a mans true voice till you listen to the lives and man this hit home , great arse voice my guy ❤️
When I was losing hope on music these days I hear this man. Its been quite a while that I didn't get goose bumps listening someone singing. A devoted fan from now on... Talented people are almost extint.
This song stopped me from a 23 year drug abuse been clean 10 mts now so hope it helps others as much as it did me xxx
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support❤🎵

This reminds me of my cousin….who never really made an impact on life. Like he gave up too early too young. I will always think of him as a light snubbed out.
Matt love you mate
If you lost your way this song gives so much hope someone will leave the light on so could find back yourself!
So touching so true!
My way was lost when a while ago and its not to long before I give in
I have lost three friends to over dosing. I have lost two of mine best friends to suicide. I myself have also reached an all time low back in 2019. I come back to this song, each and everytime I am missing them or feel like I've had enough of everything and everyone. This song reaches deep inside of my soul and comforts me, knowing that I keep my light on, and knowing that I will always be there for those people that need me, and knowing that they wouldn't have wanted me to give up. I have lost so many people in my young years to tragedies and misfortunes. If you are out there struggling, with depression or with drugs, reach out to somebody. Hopefully somebody around you will have their light on as well, and if not, then you be your own lighthouse and keep on shining.
❤️
You are amazing.
You are inspiring and the essence of your voice is a soothing breeze over the lonesome beach.
Never stop singing and never stop loving it.
You have worked really hard to get here, to acquire the voice that moves through time like the flowing sand in the glass.
It touched me.
Thank you (:
Best wishes
A happy guy.
This is for my son Aaron in South Charleston, West Virginia. I’m in Florida leaving the light on for him to come back home 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😥🤦🏼♂️
I pray your son came back to you. 🙏🏽

Thanks Mr Walker. You reminded me to shed a tear for those lost to addiction, we know it is born from the horrendous things people have encountered. My tears brought a smile to my face when i remembered the good times.
His voice is just so comforting like a huge bear 🤗
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support❤
First thing I did after hearing this was an email to my oldest friend who has been struggling with a heroin addiction.
I will leave a light on.
