NEON LIGHTS

SONG FACTS

#1 - Neon lights refers to decadence

While neon lights can symbolise progress and modernity, in this song it represents unacceptable activities and decadence.

#2 - A song about a specific loss

Neon lights is one of a number of songs on the album "Left Behind" that deal with the death of friend Rasmus Rasmussen. "I miss you all the time" is a central line in the song.

#3 - Three melodies on the same chords

It is the same chord progression throughout the song with three melodies with three different lyrical perspectives. The three melodies come together at the end of the song.

#4 - The most likely to be re-recorded someday

The song is probably the most likely one to reappear in a different version in the future as I think it has more potential and can evolve in different directions.

#5 - Features an original Rhodes piano

Neon lights is the only song by Mr. Conroy to feature a Rhodes piano and no ordinary piano. Come to think of it, it also features a pan flute.

"NEON LIGHTS" LYRICS

VERSE 1

Everyone loved you
Everyone had to
See if it shines through
Everything will do
God how I miss you

BRIDGE

Against the neon lights
I can't see all the time
I wish that I was blind
And not be left behind

CHORUS

I hide it with a smile
And I fight it all the while
I miss you all of the time
Can't hide it, less confide it

That I

Can't say that I'm fine
And I'm searching for a sign
Cause I miss you all of the time
Can't hide it, less confide it

VERSE 2

Riding beside you
Everyone wants to
Wait for a breakthrough
