Light Me Up (Hunter Hayes song)
"Light Me Up" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Hunter Hayes. Co-written by busbee and Shane McAnally, it was originally recorded for Hayes's self-titled debut studio album (2011) but was only included on the 2013 "Encore" edition re-issue. The song was re-recorded in 2015, and was released to the UK and Oceania on March 13, 2015. as the lead single for Hayes's international compilation album, "I Want Crazy" (2015).
Composition.
"Light Me Up" was written by Hayes with pop songwriter busbee and country music singer Shane McAnally as an upbeat country pop song about the excitement of love. Beginning with a drum loop and B-3, its instrumentation later incorporates guitar, banjo, and bouzouki. Bob Paxman at "Nash Country Weekly" described the chorus, which features firework and sunshine imagery, as "uplifting."
The UK single version downplays the country elements of the original for a more pop-oriented sound. Drawing influences from electropop and dance-pop, the remix features a more heavily processed vocal and synthesized backbeat.
Background and release.
Conceived during the writing sessions for Hayes's self-titled debut studio album, "Light Me Up" was originally recorded sometime in 2011 but was ultimately not included on the original release of the album due to not fitting the tone of the album at the time. In 2012, the song was re-recorded and offered to fans for free through Hayes' official Facebook page as part of a partnership with Country Financial. After the success of "Wanted" and the inspiration he received during his Most Wanted Tour, Hayes began working on new material. It was mutually decided by Hayes and his label in late 2012 that it "[wasn't] necessarily the right time... to make a new record," so the "Encore" edition of the album was developed as an alternative to make the newly-written songs and a handful of re-recorded tracks (including a new version of "Light Me Up") available to the fans. In 2015, the song was partially re-recorded for a fourth time and given a pop mix for an exclusive UK single release.
Critical reception.
"Light Me Up" was mostly well received by critics in review for its parent album. Marc Engel of Fox News praised the mainstream appeal of the song, noting that "with chiming guitars plus a sing-a-long chorus it’s easy to understand why “Light Me Up” has become a fan favorite." Matt Bjorke at "Roughstock" wrote that the song "feel[s] like [a] potential hit" and "gets the listener in a good mood," while complimenting Hayes's use of the song as a concert opener. Robert Silva at Dotdash Meredith was more critical of the song's repetitive lyrics and the overall sameness of the new tracks on "Encore".
Commercial performance.
Upon the release of "Hunter Hayes (Encore)", "Light Me Up" sold over 13,000 units. This prompted a number 50 debut on the "Billboard" Country Digital Songs (the digital sales component of Hot Country Songs).
Music video.
A lyric video for the UK version of the song premiered on 22 January 2015.
The official music video premiered on 9 February 2015 exclusively through "Digital Spy". It features Hayes playing the guitar, keyboard, and drums to the song, and "letting his inner rock star out."

Light It Up (Marshmello, Tyga and Chris Brown song)
"Light It Up" is a song by American record producer Marshmello, American rapper Tyga and American singer Chris Brown, released on April 25, 2019. Its music video, directed by Arrad, was released on the same date.
Promotion.
Before posting the YouTube countdown and teaser, on April 22, Marshmello posted a link to the website mellomadeitright.com on his social media, which contains the message "You're invited to light it up" and a link to connect Spotify with the site to "RSVP". Upon RSVPing, the site displayed a message that reads, in part, "See you 4.25".
Controversy.
Scottish group Chvrches, who collaborated with Marshmello on his previous single "Here with Me", posted an unexpected statement to social media on April 25, saying that while they "like and respect [Marshmello] as a person", they were "really upset, confused and disappointed" by his decision to work with Tyga and Chris Brown, as "working with people who are predators and abusers enables, excuses and ultimately tacitly endorses that behaviour".
Brown responded by calling Chvrches a "bunch of losers" in the comments section of an Instagram post by the band. He also characterized them as the sort of people he "wish walked in front of a speeding bus full of mental patients", before later referring to them as "simple minded peasants". Tyga also responded, posting to Instagram: "Where ["sic"] all God's children. Everyone makes mistakes no ones perfect. Let's keep the energy positive."

"Light the Night Up" is a song by American singer-songwriter Tinashe. It was written by Helmut VonLichten and Hitmaka, with production handled by VonLichten and Kitmak. The song was released on September 28, 2017, as the theme song for CBS SPORTS' Thursday Night Football broadcast.
Critical reception.
Chris Malone Méndez of "Billboard" deemed the song "an amalgamation of the different sounds that the singer has mastered so farover her career", including "the slinky R&B feel of her mixtapes and last year's EP "Nightride", the poppy dance mood that characterized "Joyride" Japanese Version singles "Player" and "Superlove," as well as an unfamiliar EDM-leaning sound that feels like it belongs in an Ultra Music Festival set rather than a Tinashe song". Bianca Garwood of "Ebony" regarded it as an "upbeat track" and an "electrodance tune". Tom Breihan of "Stereogum" called it "a gleaming club track that sound much more like '90s Euro-techno than it probably should". Kevin Goddard of HotNewHipHip described it as "a celebratory song" and "a feel-good party anthem" that is "highlighted by its EDM-infused production and Tinashe's vocals". Mike Wass of Idolator called it "a sugary, disco-tinged banger".

Critical reception.
Deborah Evans Price, of "Billboard" magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that "Adkins' deep, powerful voice does justice to the yearning in this lyric about a man who has left the lights on waiting for his lover to return." Rick Cohoon of AllMusic gave the song a favorable review, calling it a "creative approach to the age-old 'goodbye, I miss you' song." He commended Adkins' voice for "communicat[ing] pain so well" despite the singer's stature, although he considered some of the similes forced (e.g. "the backyard's bright as the crack of dawn").
Music video.

He then gets off the porch, and he and some workers get to work on a power generator.

Lights Come On
"Lights Come On" is a song written by Jimmy Robbins, Jordan Schmidt, Brad Warren, Brett Warren, and Florida Georgia Line members Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley and recorded by American country music artist Jason Aldean. It was released on April 1, 2016, as the lead single from Aldean's 2016 album "They Don't Know".
Critical reception.
The single has mostly received negative reviews from critics. Kevin John Coyne of "Country Universe" was critical of the concert-orientated theme of the song, writing that "“Lights Come On” seems written for the sole purpose of kicking off a Jason Aldean concert. It's all very meta, and easy to picture the audience saying, “Hey! He’s singing about us! Cool!”" and "But that’s every Jason Aldean song these days, isn’t it? Soulless, monotonous, assembly line records that are interchangeable with one another and forgotten as soon as the song ends." He rated the song a D grade.
An uncredited "Taste of Country" review was more favorable, praising the country rock instrumentation and compared the song favorably to that of Aldean's earlier hits "My Kinda Party" and "She's Country."
Commercial reception.
The song debuted at No. 29 on the Country Airplay chart, his third highest debut on the chart. The airplay also placed the song at No. 43 on the Hot Country Songs. The following week when the song was released for sale, Jason Aldean performed the song at the 2016 ACM Awards where he won Entertainer of the Year. The song sold 70,000 copies in its first sales week, which made it the No. 1 on the Country Digital Songs chart, and its sales pushed it up to No. 7 on Hot Country Songs. The song has sold 408,000 copies in the US as of September 2016.
Music video.
The music video was directed by Shaun Silva and premiered in June 2016. It is 5 minutes long, and combines tour footage of Aldean's 2016 Six String Circus Tour, with an in-depth interview with Aldean, in which he states what touring means to him.

This Little Light
"This Little Light" is a song by the British hip-hop act LZ7 and is based around a sample of the 20th century gospel track "This Little Light of Mine". It originally featured on the group's 2008 EP "Gasoline", before being remixed in 2010 for inclusion on their second studio album, "Light". This remix was released as LZ7's first official single on 26 September 2010, and was sold by independent label Fierce! exclusively as a digital download. The track was downloaded over 11,000 times in the UK, which gave it a chart peak of Number 26 on the UK Singles Chart and Number 4 on the UK Indie Chart.
Although largely ignored by the mainstream media, "This Little Light" received mostly positive reviews and was selected as the theme song for both the UK government's Shine Week 2010 and The Message Trust's Shine Your Light campaign—profits from sales of the single were donated to Shine Your Light. A different music video for "This Little Light" was produced for each different version. The first video, which accompanied the original 2008 version, was filmed at Rose Bridge High School in Wigan and features LZ7 members Lindz West and Louis Read handing out glowing lightbulbs from an ice cream van. The second music video, used to promote the 2010 single release, shows three examples of people being generous and the band performing in front of a tower block estate.
Background and release.
"This Little Light" is based around "This Little Light of Mine", a gospel song written by American composer Harry Loes in the early 20th century. It first appeared on LZ7's EP "Gasoline", which was released in the UK in August 2008. It was then remixed in 2010 for inclusion as track one on the band's second studio album, "Light", and was used as a theme song for both The Message Trust's charitable initiative Shine Your Light and the UK government's Shine Week 2010. LZ7 launched the 2010 remix at a gig at the Manchester Apollo, before promoting the track at summer festivals and an eight-date schools tour around Manchester. The band encouraged people to make a note of the release date and to download the single, with Lindz West, LZ7's frontman, remarking: "What we don't want is anyone phoning up stations and saying 'Why aren't you playing this song?', because that just creates a bad name for us in the first place. What we do want is people buying it and getting it to the position where it has to go on the radio airplay lists and the stations have to play it."
"This Little Light" was officially released in the UK exclusively as a digital download at midnight on 26 September through download stores such as iTunes and 7digital. It featured alongside remixes from Kenny Hayes and Starz Angels as part of a four-track EP, which was sold by record label Fierce! as a charity record to benefit Shine Your Light. After selling over 11,000 copies in the UK, "This Little Light" charted at Number 26 on the UK Singles Chart and Number 4 on the UK Indie Chart.
Critical reception.
As it was released on Fierce!—an independent label—"This Little Light" received little radio airplay and few reviews from mainstream music critics. What reviews it did receive were generally favourable. Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms gave the single eight out of ten and said that it had "all the mixture of pop savvy and street vibe that could connect with a mass audience". Jono Davies of Louder Than the Music gave "This Little Light" five stars out of five, calling it a "very catchy pop Hip Hop song". Natalie Clark of SouthSonic gave the song four out of five, and described it as a "definite buy for alternative music lovers". A slightly more mixed review came from James Masterton of Yahoo! Music, who said that "as a pop record it isn't half bad", but that it was "never going to be particularly cool, no matter how hard anyone tries".
Music videos.
Two official music videos for "This Little Light" were produced, one for each version of the song. The first video, filmed in 2008, was used to promote the original version of "This Little Light" that featured on "Gasoline". It was filmed at Rose Bridge High School in Wigan, and begins by showing a group of teenagers in detention. An ice cream van, driven by LZ7 members Lindz West and Louis Read, drives onto the school grounds and parks next to the detention hall. Read begins playing "This Little Light" through the van's stereo system—hearing the song, the young people in detention rush over the window, then run downstairs to the van. West begins handing out glowing lightbulbs to some of the teenagers at the van, who hold them in the air. This sequence is interspersed with shots of LZ7 performing "This Little Light" live in front of a large group of young people outside Rose Bridge Sports & Community Centre. The video was uploaded to The Message Trust's official YouTube channel in November 2008. As of 2011[ref], it has been viewed nearly 268,000 times.
A second music video for "This Little Light" was specially filmed in 2010 to accompany the release of the new remixed version. It begins with shots of the members of LZ7 walking towards a tower block estate, in front of which they then perform the song. The video features three stories of people being either generous or compassionate: the first shows a young man delivering a bottle of milk to an elderly lady, the second shows another young man helping someone push start their car, and the final story shows a young woman consoling another young woman, who is crying. These stories are cut between shots of LZ7 performing "This Little Light" both in front of the tower block and in front of garages. This second video was uploaded to The Message Trust's official YouTube channel in August 2010. As of 2011[ref], it has been viewed over 246,000 times.

Light On
"Light On" is the first official single released from "American Idol" season 7 winner David Cook's major label debut studio album, "David Cook" (2008). It was released through RCA Records on September 30, 2008. The song reached No. 17 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA.
Song information.
"Light On" was co-written by Soundgarden and Audioslave front man Chris Cornell, as well as producer/songwriter Brian Howes. The song was produced by Grammy-winning producer Rob Cavallo, who has produced hits for Green Day and Kid Rock. The song also displays Cook's upper register, with the singer hitting a high C at the end of each verse.
Release.
The song's lyrics were posted on Cook's official website on September 22, 2008. "Light On" officially debuted on AOL Music's PopEater section on September 23, 2008. It became available for radio airplay later the same day, but officially went for adds on Mainstream Top 40, AC, and Rock radio on October 13, 2008. It was released via iTunes and Amazon on September 30, 2008.
Reception.
Reception of "Light On" was generally positive to mixed. "Billboard"'s Chuck Taylor said that "melodically, there's no question that this bullet is heading right for the brain, where the only thing stickier than the chorus is Cook's appreciably sweaty performance". He predicted success for Cook, stating "Like Chris Daughtry before him, here's an Idol who is bound for true rock cred", summing it up with "Light On" is right on."
Todd Martens of the "Los Angeles Times" predicted chart success by saying the song was "sure to be inescapable this holiday season". He called it "full-on, cellphone-waving arena rock schmaltz, with husky, slow-moving guitars and a wallop of meaninglessly earnest vocals".
Michael Slezak of "Entertainment Weekly" said that Cook "is poised to be part of a balanced, mainstream rock diet alongside artists like 3 Doors Down, Nickelback, and Staind". He also called the song catchy, saying, "After two listens, the 'Light On' chorus got caught in my head like butter in the crannies of an English muffin". Though unimpressed with the song's lyrics, claiming they "feel more like a logjam of carefully focus-grouped words than anything deeply meaningful", he concluded that "the bottom line is: 'Light On' is probably going to be a major hit".
Ken Barnes of "USA Today," however, was unimpressed with the single, despite being a fervent supporter of Cook on "American Idol". Barnes called the song "Daughtry lite" as well as "a paint-by-numbers rock-ballad tune". "Los Angeles Times" writer, Ann Powers, also appeared unimpressed with the single, referring to it as a "banger in the worst sense of the word".
Music video.
The music video for "Light On" was shot on October 21 and 22 at the Los Angeles Valley College football stadium with Wayne Isham as the director. The video was debuted on November 3 shortly after midnight. The video is a performance video of Cook and his band singing on a stage in the football stadium, and also features a plot of a teenage boy working at a diner. A teenage girl, portrayed by Mika Boorem, walks into the diner and he watches her, becoming jealous when her boyfriend comes to the diner. Near the end, the girl fights with her boyfriend in his car, after he hit on some girls at the diner before her eyes, and gets out of the car, but he drives away and leaves her stranded there, late at night. The boy from the diner shows up on his bike and gives her a ride home on the handlebars of the bike.
Chart performance.
"Light On" sold 109,000 digital downloads in its first week of availability, leading to a number seventeen debut on the "Billboard" Hot 100. It is Cook's second top twenty hit on the chart and second top forty hit. On February 1, 2009, "Light On" reached number twenty on Mainstream Top 40 radio, becoming Cook's first top twenty hit in that format. It has become his second, consecutive top ten hit on the Adult Top 40, reaching number four. It has sold more than 1 million downloads in the U.S. to date. The single would later receive its RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications on January 20, 2010. In Canada, it debuted at number 61 on the Canadian Hot 100 based on downloads, but then fell off the chart the next week. A few weeks later it made a re-entry on the chart, finally peaking at number 27.

The song itself is also known as "Shine On Me", "Let It Shine on Me", "Light from the Lighthouse" and "Light from Your Lighthouse".
Description.
Ernest Phipps' version, like almost all early renditions, starts in a slow tempo and is then reprised at a much faster tempo.

Light My Fire
1967 song by the Doors
"Light My Fire" is a song by the American rock band the Doors. Although it was principally written by the band's guitarist, Robby Krieger, songwriting was credited to the entire band. Recognized as one of the earliest examples of psychedelic rock, it was recorded in August 1966 and released in January 1967 on their eponymous debut album. Due to its erotic lyrics and innovative structure, the track has come to be regarded as synonymous with the 1960s psychedelic and sexual revolutions.
Issued as an edited single on April 24, 1967, the song spent three weeks at number one on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart; it re-entered the "Billboard" Hot 100 in 1968 following the success of José Feliciano's cover version (which charted at number three), peaking at number 87. The song also spent one week on the "Cash Box" Top 100, nearly a year after its recording. At the 11th Annual Grammy Awards in 1969, the cover by Feliciano won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Male Pop Vocal Performance. Feliciano also won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
History.
<templatestyles src="Template:Quote_box/styles.css" />
Jim had been writing all the songs and then one day we realized we didn't have enough tunes, so he said, "Hey, why don't you guys try and write songs?" I wrote "Light My Fire" that night and brought it to the next rehearsal... It's always kind of bugged me that so many people don't know I was the composer.
– Robby Krieger, discussing the song's writing process during an interview with "Guitar World".
"Light My Fire" originated in early 1966 as a composition by Robby Krieger, who said that he was inspired by the melody of "Hey Joe" and the lyrics of the Rolling Stones' "Play with Fire". On taking his initial composition to the band, John Densmore suggested that it should have more of a Latin rhythm, Jim Morrison wrote the second verse and part of the chorus ("Try to set the night on fire"), while Ray Manzarek added the Bach-influenced introductory organ motif; Densmore also suggested that it should open with a single snare drum hit.
The band started playing the song in performances in April 1966, and extended it with a jazzy improvisation. When the Doors performed the song at live concerts, Manzarek played the song's bass line with his left hand on a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass, while performing the main keyboard lines on a Vox Continental using his right hand. When they came to record the song later in the year, producer Paul A. Rothchild brought in session musician Larry Knechtel to overdub a Fender Precision Bass guitar to double the keyboard bass line. Rothchild also suggested that the recording repeat the introductory motif at the end of the track.
Although the album version was just over seven minutes long, it was widely requested for radio play, notably by Los Angeles DJ Dave Diamond, and Elektra Records owner Jac Holzman asked that a shorter version be released as a single. Despite the band's reluctance, Rothchild edited a single version, cut down to under three minutes with nearly all the instrumental break removed for airplay on AM radio.
"The Ed Sullivan Show".
The band appeared on various TV shows, such as "American Bandstand", miming to a playback of the single. "Light My Fire" was also performed live by the Doors on "The Ed Sullivan Show" broadcast on September 17, 1967. The Doors were asked by producer Bob Precht, Ed Sullivan's son-in-law, to change the line "girl, we couldn't get much higher", as the sponsors were uncomfortable with the possible reference to drugs. However, the meaning of the line was confirmed to be literal, as in "high in the sky". The band agreed to do so, and did a rehearsal using the amended lyrics, "girl, we couldn't get much "better"". However, during the live performance, lead singer Jim Morrison sang the original, unaltered lyrics. Sullivan did not shake Morrison's hand as he left the stage. The band had been negotiating a multi-episode deal with the producers; however, after violating the agreement not to perform the offending line, they were informed they would never perform on the show again. Morrison's response was "Hey man. We just "did" the Sullivan show."
This performance was portrayed in Oliver Stone's 1991 biopic film, but with Morrison singing "higher" more emphatically and without his subsequent retort to Sullivan and the show's producer.
Buick TV commercial.
Drummer John Densmore recalled that Buick offered $75,000 in October 1968 to adapt the song for use in a Buick TV commercial ("Come on, Buick, light my fire"). Morrison, however, was still in London after a European tour had just ended on September 20, and could not be contacted by the other band members, who agreed to the deal in his absence. As the band had agreed in 1965 to both equal splits and everyone having veto power in decisions, Morrison consequently called Buick and threatened to personally smash a Buick with a sledgehammer on television, should the commercial be aired.
Musical structure.
"Light My Fire" is notated in the key of A minor. Ray Manzarek's keyboard playing descends from G to D Major, then goes to F and B-flat major; continuing onto the pitches of E-flat and A-flat major, before returning to the initial key of A Major. This alternation was based on Johann Bach's "Two and Three Part Inventions", but author Philip Clark has suggested that it may have been inspired by Dave Brubeck's compositions. The extended solo arrangement is performed throughout the keys of A Minor and B Minor, the same chord progression used by John Coltrane on his cover version of "My Favorite Things". According to Manzarek, the instrumental sections were an homage to John Coltrane whom the band admired. Parts of the solos are polyrhythmic. Some observers noticed baroque pop influences in the song.
Speed discrepancy.
The 40th Anniversary mix of the debut album presents a stereo version of "Light My Fire" in speed-corrected form for the first time. The speed discrepancy (being about 3.5% slow) was brought to Bruce Botnick's attention by Brigham Young University professor Michael Hicks, who noted that all video and audio live performances of the Doors performing the song, the sheet music, and statements of band members show the song in a key almost a half step higher (key of A) than the stereo LP release (key of A♭/G♯). Until the 2006 remasters, only the original 45 RPM singles ("Light My Fire" and "Break On Through") were produced at the correct speed.
Release and legacy.
A live version was released in 1983 on their live album "Alive, She Cried", the first of several live albums released in subsequent decades to include the song. "Light My Fire" achieved modest success in Australia, where it peaked at number 22 on the ARIA chart. The single originally reached number 49 in the UK in 1967, but experienced belated success in that country in 1991, when a reissue peaked at number seven. This reissue was more successful in Ireland, peaking atop the IRMA chart for two weeks in June. The reissue occurred due to revived interest in the band following Oliver Stone's film biopic "The Doors".
The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in September 1967 for exceeding one million units shipped. As of December 1971, it was the band's best-selling single with over 927,000 copies sold.
It was also certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA in November 2024 for reaching 2,000,000 digital units. "Billboard" described the single as a "top discotheque offering" with an "infectious beat" that "really grooves from start to finish." "Cash Box" called the single a "potent, pounding foot-stomper with unlimited potential."
"Light My Fire" has been widely considered as the Doors' signature song, and a quintessential work of the psychedelic rock genre. In 2004 and 2010, the song was ranked at number 35 on "Rolling Stone"'s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, then it was re-ranked at number 310 on the 2021 list. It was included in RIAA's Songs of the Century list, at number 52. In 2014 "NME" ranked the song 199th in its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. Feliciano's cover won the 1969 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, the same year he also won the Grammy for Best New Artist. In 1998, the track was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame under the category Rock (single). Artists such as Brian Wilson, Jean-Jacques Burnel, and Feliciano himself, among others, are admirers of the song.
The house on Alma Real Drive where Robby Krieger wrote "Light My Fire" was destroyed in the wildfires which devastated the Pacific Palisades in January 2025.

José Feliciano version.
The Puerto Rican vocalist and guitarist José Feliciano enjoyed significant international success when he released his version of "Light My Fire" in 1968 as a single on the RCA Victor label. Only a year after the original had been a number-one hit, his cover spent twelve weeks on the US "Billboard" Hot 100, debuting at number 62 the week of July 27, 1968 and peaking at number 3 the weeks of August 31, September 7 and 14, 1968. His version became the bigger hit in Australia and also in Canada, where it reached number one.
Feliciano's remake blended Latin influences, including a mixture of classic Spanish guitar, and soul, with American pop. It contains "proto-Latin rock" stylings, and a slower tempo than the Doors original version. In a 1969 interview, Feliciano said that he liked the song when he first heard it, but felt that he should wait a year before releasing the song. He also said that "California Dreamin'" was the original A-side of the single.
The single helped to spur the worldwide success of its album, "Feliciano!", which was nominated for multiple Grammy Awards in 1969. Feliciano's arrangement of "Light My Fire" has influenced several subsequent versions, including that by Will Young. Songwriter Robby Krieger said in an interview about the cover: "It's really a great feeling to have written a classic. I think I owe a big debt to Jose Feliciano because he is actually the one, when he did it, everybody started doing it. He did a whole different arrangement on it."
Feliciano revisited the song, performing a duet with Minnie Riperton on her 1979 album "Minnie".
Amii Stewart version.
In 1979, Amii Stewart released a disco version of "Light My Fire", together with a medley titled "137 Disco Heaven". It was a big hit in the UK, where it reached No. 5, and a mild hit in West Germany, peaking at No. 26. In the U.S., the song peaked at No. 69 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and No. 36 on the "Billboard" Hot Soul Singles chart.
It reached the top 10 in the UK a second time in 1985, in remixed form together with "Knock on Wood/Ash 48". This release peaked at No. 7.
Will Young version.
English singer and "Pop Idol" series 1 winner Will Young covered "Light My Fire" in 2002. He originally performed a piano version of the song in the final 50 of "Pop Idol", and again, with a backing track, in the final 10. A studio version, recorded in the style of Puerto Rican musician José Feliciano's version, was later released as his second single. The song went straight to the number one spot in the UK Singles Chart, selling 177,000 copies in its first week of release, while staying at number one for two weeks. Young also performed the song on "World Idol", where he came in fifth place.

At some point in all of our lives, we think there is no one who knows what we are going through, that we are all alone in this life. 'Light Up the Sky' is a picture of what it looks like when you make it through one of those really challenging times and you look back and see how God was using all those things for good; and that you were never alone."
The song is featured in the June 22, 2010 episode "Break-Up to Make-Up" of the MTV show "The Hills".

Light Your Light
Light Your Light is an album by the Jamaican band Toots and the Maytals, released in 2007. The band supported the album with a North American tour. The album coincided with Toots's 45th year as a recording musician.
"Light Your Light" peaked at No. 9 on "Billboard"'s Reggae Albums chart. It was nominated for a Grammy Award, in the "Best Reggae Album" category.

The "McClatchy-Tribune Business News" listed "Light Your Light" as the 9th best album of 2007.
