When The Light Comes Through
*Where the Light Comes Through* is a warm, spacious Latin blues-rock song about love, regret, and the quiet hope that comes from finally making peace with the road behind you.
A relaxed Latin groove carries the song forward without ever rushing it, leaving plenty of room for both the words and the music to breathe. At its heart is an expressive electric guitar that acts almost like a second singer—answering the vocal with smooth bends, long sustained notes and melodic phrases that seem to have all the time in the world.
The lyrics look back without bitterness. They acknowledge mistakes, things lost and words left unsaid, but ultimately find something valuable in what remains: experience, acceptance and the possibility of moving forward.
It is a song that doesn't hurry to make its point. The rhythm keeps gently moving, the singer tells the story, and between them the guitar gets to sing its heart out.

Lyrics
I kept your picture by the window,
Where the morning finds the room.
Some things fade into the distance,
Some things only learn to bloom.
I was young enough for leaving,
Too proud to turn around.
Now I hear you in the silence,
Like a sweet familiar sound.
There is love after the leaving,
There is hope beyond the blue.
Every road that took me nowhere
Left a little truth to lose.
I can't change the road behind me,
I can only travel through.
And maybe every broken moment
Is where the light comes through.
I remember how you told me
Not every scar should disappear.
Some are maps of where we've wandered,
Some remind us why we're here.
If I had another lifetime,
I'd still make mistakes or two.
But I'd spend a little less time
Being scared of loving you.
There is love after the leaving,
There is hope beyond the blue.
Every road that took me nowhere
Left a little truth to lose.
I can't change the road behind me,
I can only travel through.
And maybe every broken moment
Is where the light comes through.
If tomorrow finds me smiling,
It won't mean I've forgotten you.
It only means I finally learned
What love was trying to do.
There is love after the leaving,
There is hope beyond the blue.
Every road that took me nowhere
Led me somewhere closer to you.
I can't change the road behind me,
And I wouldn't if I knew—
Sometimes all the light we carry
Comes from what we've broken through.
