Artist Close-Up: Tom Walker Asks You To “Leave A Light On” Addiction

When it comes to addiction, we often talk about the addict, but what about his family and friends? What are their journeys as they try to love someone who is not loving their self; on the contrary, they are destroying themselves. It takes a lot of strength to get sober, but it takes a few strong people to help you get there, and Tom Walker’s “Leave A Light On” is exactly about those people.

Dedicated to his friend’s struggle with addiction, “Leave A Light On” is a piano, synth- waved oath that no matter how much darkness you go off to seek, a little light of love is waiting to welcome you when you return. Walker’s voice is hefty, and fills his lyrics as if they were empty bags waiting for him to stuff them with emotional groceries. He picks up the fruits of love and labor, and the unintentional costs of making sure that your “light of love” stays on no matter how far your friend or loved one goes into darkness.

By making this gorgeous oath a simply electrified melody, Walker solidifies love always remains simple even if life gets complex; all you have to do is keep your love on until the other person turns on theirs. Thus, you revel in the hopefulness of Walker’s vocality, and the eagerness for him to be as MASSIVE an artist in the U.S. as he is in the UK. Now more than ever, we need musicians to tell us how to “Leave A Light On” when darkness comes to shut it.
