Into The Light
Into the Light is an exploration of Jack’s relationship with his music, marking the point in his life when he decided to bring this central part of himself out from the shadows. It begins with a pure, acapella vocal, a vulnerable disclosure of love for a craft that has consistently rescued Jack from the darkest times in his life. As the song unfolds, synths and drums join him in the spotlight, building momentum and rounding out the piano-led pop sensibilities that are his signature. Chopped vocals and countermelodies build tension and create harmonic depth, while a four-on-the-floor drum beat anchors with confidence. The song concludes with a punchy sense of liberation and celebration, capturing the transition from darkness to a life-long dream fulfilled.

Lyrics
You helped me in the shadows
In more ways than you'll ever know
When I was lonely
You were the only one I could confide in
You were the only one I trusted with my heart
So it's time to take things right back to the start
Out of the shadows
Into the light
Out of the dark
And into the bright
Yeah you gave me life
You were always by my side
So let me bring you into the light
Into the light
You helped me understand my thoughts
You helped me when I felt so low, so low
When I was growing up
You were the one to know
I could lose myself in you
You gave me hope
Oh yeah I lost myself in you
You saved my soul
Out of the shadows
Into the light
Out of the dark
And into the bright
Yeah you gave me life
You were always by my side
So let me bring you into the light
Into the light
You helped me escape
These feelings of shame
And now I long to see you rise
You've hidden behind
These feelings of mine
So let me bring you into the light
Out of the shadows
Into the light
Out of the dark
And into the bright
Yeah you gave me life
You were always by my side
So let me bring you into the light
Into the light
Into the light
