I am a singer-songwriter who writes and performs progressive rock and light rock ballads on piano, keyboards and guitar. I sometimes bring in my wife, friends and former bandmembers to assist with my performances, but with busy schedules amongst us, more often than not these are usually solo performances enhanced with MIDI back-up tracks, which provide a beautiful contrast of a live vocal and guitar or piano over a pre-recorded background.

Story behind the song
This was inspired at the time I was very involved in Dianetics, a book I had read and benefited greatly from in understanding myself and life. I was fascinated with its very correct advertising campaign which postulated that most people were fighting to survive and would respond at that tone level of antagonism. This song gives a very heartfelt, friendly cry for help and answers in seeking truth, and could apply to any sincere search for truth.
Lyrics
TURN THE LIGHT ON 1995 Dallas TX Cutting curbs and corners - Breaking any rule just to stay alive - (that's what I thought) Sinking even further - Every man for himself will survive - (that's what I was taught) -Somehow we landed in a witch's pit -If this were a game I would surely quit -I think I will make the best of it, anyway... Spin down into bodies - The trap is set the key has long been sealed But I am not my body! - I want the truth - I want the truth revealed -Could someone put an end to this pain? -Make me feel my love again? -Could somebody be a truer friend, I pray? Keep the light shining on Make it bright and strong Turn the Light On! Well the truth has been discovered - Life has been recovered - you can read it! So young man put the gun down - What you're looking for has been found - and we need it -Come on, put an end to the mystery -When you know the truth it will set you free -You be the best that you can be - shine on... Turn The Light On - 1995 - Scott Gordon
