LOVE AND LIGHT

Description

Love & Light is the third studio album by Tom Speight. The album is both a wonderful evolution in Tom's songwriting and perhaps his most personal and sincere work to date. Inspired by pivotal moments, the album explores everything from family conflicts to heartbreak and abandonment, showcasing some of the most confident and refined compositions of his career. Set against lush soundscapes of beautifully textured guitars, agile strings, and bright piano notes, these songs delve into the wonders of new love; reaching out to a beloved sister; celebrating the good news of a close friend. "I addressed things in this album that I had never talked about before," he says. "It's undoubtedly my most personal work to date." The title track 'Love & Light' is dedicated to Speight's older sister, Cathy. Like "Tomorrow," it reaches out to a loved one with an emotional clarity that surprises with its honesty. "It's my sister who gave me my first guitar," he explains. "She would pick me up from school... Sometimes she would forget and be a little late, but I didn't mind. The song (like the album) is full of unconditional love, powerful enough to stay with you long after the final note.
