GUIDING LIGHT is the second solo single from LA-based singer Grog Lisee, aka singer/bass player and face of cult rock band Die So Fluid. The song reflects an extremely emotional period in Grog's life as she tries to process and grieve the sudden passing of her close friend and Die So Fluid drummer Al Fletcher.

"The video for GUIDING LIGHT has an extra resonance due to the timing, circumstances and location of its creation.It was shot against blackened and ash covered landscapes in the aftermath of the Sand Fire, named after the Sand Canyon area where I live, east of LA's Santa Clarita Valley. It consumed thousands of acres and came within two miles of my house, directly after the day I received news of Al's passing. You could say my whole world had turned to ash.

Previously, I'd spent a week in London visiting Al in intensive care. My mind was filled with dark visions of the destructive nature of sepsis and the harsh, cruel way in which nature often devastates and yet continues to give birth to new life, new beginnings.

When the Sand Fire was finally under control I had an overwhelming urge to shoot something; maybe it was about the effort to create something, to try to let something out, or just to feel the ash and dirt on my skin. It wasn't until I returned from my second trip to the UK for Al's funeral that I shot the rest of the scenic footage and the areas I explored still resonated strongly with my emotional state." (Grog 2016)

'GUIDING LIGHT' LYRICS

If I shut down when you're reaching out for me
Please don't give up. Don't let me off easily.
It's not you. It's a darkness within.
There's a scar inside that I've learned to conceal.
I've lived with it for years, swallowed private tears
but I know I'm not alone, no.
I need your light to guide me home.

When the blackest walls all come closing in.
You're too tired to move; you don't know how to begin.
Close your eyes, and breathe in and out.
There's a flame of love; it's still there in your heart.
It may be buried deep; you think it's out of reach.
Let it grow. Let it show.
Cus someone needs your light to guide them home.

With you it's effortless.
You don't have to try.
You've saved me countless times.
You have no idea what it's like to have you near
after wandering the wilderness.

I searched for you for years.
You actually appeared.
Now I don't feel alone.
I need your light.
We all need a light.
Let me be your light to guide you home.
