Behind the song
If no hand holds the light, leave it burning.
Inspired by Scottish folklore surrounding the Will-o’-the-Wisp, mysterious wandering lights said to lure travellers from safe paths into marshes and darkness.
Told like an old cautionary fairy tale, the song follows those who chase the light and those wise enough to remember the warning passed down through generations: if no hand holds the light you see, leave it burning, let it be.
