Watch this YouTube of Beth Hart's performance of a totally vulnerable, totally hopeful, totally humble song.

One of the lines that is repeated is "I swore to God that I'd never be what I've become". From her telling and the way the song plays out, I think this line must have a double meaning: "I will never use that drug in that way, or I will never steal from family, or ...." but also, " I will never feel OK.... I will never feel safe... I will never amount to anything..."

Again, the Title line "I leave the light on, I better leave the light on" offers the two edged perspective. "I am not safe, so I have to leave the light on." but then again - "I am not done. I will leave the light on. There is some hope out there, and I want to be able to see it when it is near enough / clear enough."


I would love to hear from all you, other impressions of this song and her story.
