The people at "Bandwidth" recorded Foy so well! "Guiding Light" is a quality short film! I watch it sometimes. I have a great playlist of Foy's music, it's called "Foy Vance Golden Playlist". Foy is a modern day musical genius imho. Side Note: It's different seeing Foy without the Mustache.
I played this song for my dad the day before he passed away. I heard hearing was the last to go, so he wasn't able to respond but I hope it soothed him. I cry every time I hear this song, even though he passed in 2018. Thank you Foy for writing such a beautiful song ❤
Heard this for the very first time last evening 30th May 2024 at 10.20pm as closing song at a concert. Will undoubtedly stay with me for the rest of my days
Currently fighting addiction. Where I thought what I was doing would be ok and that I could handle it has spiralled. My friends, family and those truly dear to me do not know. Any time I feel like I’ll crumble and give in I think or listen to this song. I’m reminded of those same loved ones which gives me strength and a guiding light in the dark. Thank you, Vance. And to anyone in the same position right now. Take a day at a time and do not judge yourself. Remember the little things. Remember your accomplishments. Remember your pride. Any small win is a win and we will beat it.
Well the road is wide And waters run on either side And my shadow went with fading light Stretching out towards the night 'Cause the sun is low And I yet have still so far to go My lonely heart is beating so Tired of the wonder There's a sign ahead Though I think it's the same one again But I'm thinking 'bout my only friend And so I find my way home 'Cause when I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light Oh, well the air is cold And yonder lies my sleeping soul By the branches broke like bones Well, this weakened tree no longer holds Well, the night is still And I have not yet lost my will Oh and I will keep on moving 'till 'Till I find my way home When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light So lead me on, and leave me strong Like the road I walk on When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light
"You know what? Maybe being young isn't just for d*ckheads, because there are a lot of benefits, like having f*ck-all responsibilities. And maybe the only problem with being young is all the grown-ups in the world who need to sort their sh*t out, and stop acting like boring old adults."
I first heard this coming back from church in my Mom’s car. It’s been one of my favorite songs since. It has opened a brighter perspective for me when I listen to the lyrics and just think about Jesus. He is that guiding light to all who put their faith and trust in Him. I’ve been going through tough times lately, (mostly because of my poor decisions). But the one thing I know and continue to believe is that no matter how difficult the road may seem, He is always there to guide me back on that path that He had made for me long ago. He has been faithful through every trial I go through. To the person who’s reading this: Maybe you’re going through a similar situation; whether it be another pain, another burden, another trial. Maybe you’re battling an addiction that is wearing you down. Maybe you’re just feeling lost or lonely, “tired of the wonder,” questioning your purpose in life. I just want to let you know that God loves you so much and He desires to have a relationship with you. However, He will not force you into that relationship with Him (that wouldn’t be loving you, would it?). It’s up to you to make that decision. But I want you to know that you will never find a greater purpose than through a loving relationship with the Creator of all things. Come as you are, repent (turn away from) your sins; your burdens of guilt and shame, and accept His Son, Jesus, by faith. He can be your guiding light; that no matter how difficult your road may get, no matter how challenging your life may be, you can still be able to say that you have not yet lost your will and that you will keep on moving till you find your way home! I know this all may sound a bit crazy (it did for me before), but I pray that you make the right decision. May God bless you and your loved one’s in Jesus mighty name! ❤️🙏🕊️ Matthew 11:28-30 Then Jesus said, ‘“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
For the ones that don't like him I'm pretty sure it's based on this song. I don't know if this is some event that took place but based what I know about Foys music ...he isn't singing here. He seems to be crying. He could have done this song way better but this is him crying.
Quite powerful the older man stood there. Kind of feel like he didn’t know the song, but felt it deeply. Like it was about his life. That’s just how I felt❤
I just heard an amazing rendition of Guiding Light today from Good Shepard in New York. Highly recommend. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B4gy5-67-g8.htmlsi=Sl2SxSW2DXI64pYx&t=1453
That was a great day, I made it to all three shows. I hope I can dig out that Christmas CD that they gifted & hear what was on it. Thanks for the memories & all the joy! Love you fellas!
