Description
This is a vocal interpretation of Victorias_Playground's amazing "Journey." I was thinking initially of an electronica/techno dance song, but it ended sounding like a Foreigner rock song towards the end. I could imagine it being a soundtrack song to one of those TV detective series like CSI or Vegas.
The song is about an innocent ambitious soul who gives up true love and gets lured by the neon city lights, wandering into the cruel darkness...
Victoria wanted it to sound angrier and at a lower tone :-) I'll try to find time to do that in the next version.

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT
(Music by Victorias_Playground;
lyrics and vocals by Leon)
Dark shadows fall, raw emotions rise
Building the wall, rollin' the dice
Risking it all, do you think it twice
Taking a gamble, are we ever wise
Who do you think of when the lights go out
How do you feel when the rain falls down...
Where do you sleep when the sun goes down
Can you raise your face when you wear a frown...
Heavenly curse, this beauty's monstrosity
Did you make it worse, choose fate or vanity...
Take last or the first, love is infinity
Quench all your thirst, and lose reality
So who do you think of when the lights go out
How do you feel when the rain falls down
Where do you sleep when the sun goes down
Can you raise your face when you lose your crown...
(Break)
(Woowoowoowoooh)
So where do you hide when the lights go out
How do you feel when the rain falls down
So where can you run when the sun goes down
Can you face the nights when you turn around
Dark shadows fall, raw emotions rise
Building the wall, rollin' the dice...
Risking it all, do you think it twice
Taking a gamble, if they're truth or lies
(Rant)
Where do you run when times chase you down
Escape the pain when there's blood on your gown
So you think you can defeat your destiny
Try to save your face, pick the fragments of dignity
So where do you hide when the lights go out
Will you cry when the storm begins to wear you down
Where can you run when the sun goes down
Can you face the night when you turn around
Heavenly curse...
Quench all your thirst...
Choose fate or vanity... (yeah yeah yeah)
So where do you hide when the lights go out (when the lights go out)
'Cause how do you feel when the rain falls down (yeah)
Where can you run when the sun goes down (when the sun goes down)
Can you face the night when you turn around

Hey Leon - great to have something new from you at last. Funny you mention detective shows - I thought of the theme from Moonlighting for some reason. This has a nice pulsing soundbed, and your big voice sings a very big, expressive set of lyrics. I really like the end section where it gets more aggressive and expressive, although it could have gone a little longer for me.
Nice collab guys - send it to NBC - i'm sure they can use it !
