Tom Rosenthal - Lights Are On (Official Video) 

When I listen to this song. I feel like I’m being hugged. And nothing else is happening. Just me and the music. That’s it.

I don't tend to write comments. I'm a very shy person, even when I know that no one will see me, I hush. But right now I just have to say: thank you Tom. Today was one of those days when you just wanna lay down and sleep your problems away. Today was one of those days when you just wanna make the world stop, if only for one second, to let yourself breath. And even though it sounds unlikely, you did it. You made the world stop turning, you made time stop pasing, and you let myself breath, again and again. I'm sorry for my english, this is not my first language, but I needed to express what I feel. Thank you

Love this, Tom!

It's incredible how comforting this song is. I'm truely lucky to be listening to you Tom!

Two years ago I was here in this video, listening to this song, and reading the comments where people talked about God, and I was a completely lost girl, deviated from the church, and especially from God, my world was empty, I tried to fill this void with the things of the world, I thought I had fulfilled it, and when I least expected it, nothing fulfilled me, I listened to this song crying, because I didn't feel God, asking myself why, I entered a life in which I took wrong actions, I entered into abusive relationships , wanting to end my emptiness, after these 2 years, I am a new person, I returned to God, and only now do I see that this emptiness was I who allowed myself to have it, and I closed myself off from God, God knocked on my door “but no one was at home”, I cry listening to this song, because I didn’t know how much music can make us remember and feel the moments we’ve already had in our lives…

I think this song is really underrated. His voice, the musi building up on me and the music video makes me fall in love with life.

God, I’m sorry for the things I have done in the past, I’m sorry for kept thinking about the dark past, I’m sorry for treating people with such anger, but I’m so glad I’ve found u O Lord ❤ whenever I was bad, u still loved me like ur child, u still protected me from my enemies even tho I was doing bad to them. All I want to say is, “Thank you.”

I'm so nervous because of school. I'm about to cry. Thank you for this song. It makes me feel safe. edit, 21.11.2021: This song is still with me when I need to calm myself. Its like a hug from a friend who doesnt ask any questions or expect you to explain whats wrong. If youre having a hard time right now, please remember to take care of yourself first. I went trough so many things in life when I should just be happy. My hardships started as a young kid, who didnt know any better. I learned to accept life as it is. Im sure Im gonna experience many hardships in life, but I genuinely think that its gonna be okay. And youre gonna be okay too. edit, 13.07.2022: I've got depression and other big health problems. The truth is, I'm going trough a lot and I don't know if I'm gonna be ok this time. edit, 17.10.2022: I wanted to thank all of you, who ask until this day how I'm doing. I've been doing really bad. The last days of September and the whole October are I think the worst days of my entire life. I'm not only depressed but I also suffer from extreme anxiety and panic attacks that terrify me. I'm getting help from my therapist and I`ll also be on anti-depressant soon. I don't feel okay. Mentally and physically. I'm scared of life. I get this extreme anxiety about my physical health. When something hurts in my body I really believe that I have cancer or something. I get this anxiety about my breath and that I will pass out because I can't breathe. I know it all comes from my panic attacks. I really want this to be gone. I miss the old me. Sure, I had so many childhood traumas and I was depressed very often, but these panic attacks are killing me. I don't want to live like this anymore. I'm gonna update you guys when I start my medication. Since I don't know what tomorrow brings, I hope you're all taking care of yourselves. Please, don't underestimate your own brain. If you feel bad, if you feel hopeless, please seek help from a professional. No, it won't go away on its own. I also thought so some years ago and now look at me. Struggling to live, struggling to sleep. It's agony. Don't be like me. And also try to be kind to yourselves. It's the hardest thing to me, but it helps sometimes to just be kind. To others and most importantly, to yourselves. Let's just try. Edit, 19.03.2023: Hello to all of you. First of all I wanted to thank all of you who are still asking how am I. I’m also so sorry for not giving you any updates since last year. It was just a lot to me. So I started taking medication and I think it helped me at the beginning, but right now I’m not so sure. I had to give up school and my work, because I had some horrible panic attacks and basically thought I’d die if I don’t stop going to work and school. The anxiety was so bad I couldn’t even go grocery shopping on my own. I’m still very anxious and the worst part is my depression. I’m struggling so much and it’s so painful. Every single day hurts. I think about giving up every single day, but I had to decide on something for my own safety. Whatever happens, suicide is not the option. I can lay on the floor for hours without any strength to live or even breathe, but I won’t hurt myself. I don’t deserve that. It’s my depression that says all those horrible things about me and others around me. I’m still learning to not to listen. I was really hoping it would get better, but it’s not. I’m still struggling, I’m very lonely, I feel stuck, I don’t have any plans for this life. I’m just taking it day after day. For some people I might look like some lazy person who just doesn’t want to do anything, but it couldn’t be much further from the truth. On some days I feel good, I can actually exercise, go for a walk, make some healthy food for myself, paint and on other days my head’s completely off. I just lay in bed and don’t want to do anything / don’t even want to think about anything. I really like the thought of death. The silence, peace, no more expectations, no more crying, feeling guilty for existing. But death will come. Maybe not today, but eventually it will. No need to rush it. I’m just gonna try to live and leave a tiny, little mark on this earth. I’m gonna paint, I’m gonna write and smile and cry and I’m gonna be okay soon. It’s probably foolish to still have hope, but people overall are just really foolish so I’m gonna carry this tiny amount of hope with me and I’m gonna try. I hope all of you are doing okay. And if not, just know every single person is going trough stuff and it’s okay to struggle. It’s not shameful nor stupid. And please don’t underestimate your own head. If you start to feel depressed quite often, go and see a therapist. Don’t wait ‘till it’s gonna get even worse. Respect your health. Physical and the mental one. God, I hope my English isn’t that bad. I’m writing this at almost 2 am and let’s just say I’m not good at putting my thoughts into words lately. Depression makes you forget things and have this cloud in your head. Why no one ever talks about it? Anyway, I hope you’re all healthy and happy and if not, it’s also okay. I’m with you. edit, 13.08.2023: Hello to all of you. I've just read all of your recent messages and I'm so deeply moved. I'd like to share my last few months with you. I finally decided to continue on my studies and I'm going to start school in September. I'm quite nervous but also really excited. When it comes to my depression. There are good days and there are also really bad ones, but just as I wrote to you in on of my latest edits, suicide is not an option. Self-harm is not an option. I keep on fighting with depression and I'm winning this fight. Do I often get sad? Almost every day. I cry a lot, but that made me actually really happy. I'm sure many people with depression and anxiety can relate, but when you're depressed or stressed for a REALLY long time, you can't cry. You feel numb to crying, because we've done it so much. At one point you lay in bed just breathing and blinking. So when I started crying out of sadness I knew I'm going the right direction. Depression is awful. It always comes back creeping on you when you really just want it to disappear for good. My anxiety is still there, but I won with panic attacks!! I don't have them anymore and they won't come back. I know I'm in control of my body. God that was so hard to believe while having these panic attacks. You almost feel like your own body doesn't belong to you anymore. Now I'm mostly very lonely. Depression separated me from many people, but that also showed me there was nobody there for me. All of these people disappeared from my life. I had to let go of an old friendship. I was so hurt, but I know I deserve better. If you're reading this, you deserve better, love. No need to hold on to people who don't care about you and your feelings. Be kind and good to yourself. What helped me recently with sympathy towards myself (I find it really hard to be nice to myself, which is odd, but I guess when your father never showed you love, you really think it's your fault and you don't deserve love and kindness) was finding a photo of myself as a little child and hanging it somewhere in my room to be always seen. When I'm harsh on myself I look at this photo and I think to myself how much my child self doesn't deserve such treating. You would't tell a child they're worthless or dumb. So why are you telling it yourself almost everyday? You don't deserve that. There's still a little child in you. Give it a hug and don't yell at it! That's a really long edit. I'm sure I'm going to be back one more time this year. If you'd like to stay in touch (or just know if I'm still alive) find me on instagram @meontmoon . Also, if you're struggling right now and think of doing something bad to your body, please reach out. To your mother, to your brother, aunt, even a friend. Or you can write me a message :) Remember, that seeking help is the strongest thing people can do. Let's keep on fighting, loves. Edit (19.02.2024) Hi friends, I’m doing really bad lately. I’ve never been hurting so much before. Every single day is a struggle. I don’t have the energy nor the motivation to do anything. It has never been this hard before. I’m so tired. God, it’s so scary how tired I am. I’m so scared. I’m terrified. All I ever wanted was to just be healthy and to overcome my depression, but I guess it’s too much to ask. I don’t know if I’ll be able to be fine this time. What’s the point of the highs if the lows are so deeply terrifying? Being alive hurts too much lately.

God stood me up And I don't know why Lights are on But nobody's home There ain't no love like our love There ain't no love like our love Like our love, love, love, love, love *Let the last worms go. (Let the lost ones go. ) And roll in tonight Don't wake us up We got nothing for you There ain't no love like our love There ain't no love like our love Like our love, love, love, love, love Build us a door And rest here with me Lights are on But nobody's home There ain't no love like our love There ain't no love like our love

You close your eyes and your own movie starts ~>>>>

I came across this in my recommended as I was looking for songs to bring me to sleep. I can't tell if I'm already dreaming or not.

I feel like if Tom Rosenthal was a vehicle he would look exactly like that yellow car...

I'm in love with this version. The new lyrics made me think they could be about a loved one that's passed away: "God stood me up, and I don't know why / lights are on, but nobody's home... let the lost ones go..." Often losing a loved one is like entering an empty house, and the lights are on, but looking around, they're nowhere to be found. Anyway, this song helped me feel less alone, as always, thanks to Tom for creating ambiguous lyrics and singing magically.

I'm at home, but a voice inside me says I'm not at home. I miss my home.

the way this song makes me feel is absolutely indescribable.

anyone still listening to this 2024?

Bro I just cried because I am so freaking happy with my life 😭❣️

it's not a music , it's emotions

“God stood me up” 🥺to true

oh my god the colours in the shots with the yellow car are so beautiful and warm and contrast so well with the grey inside this is incredible 👏👏👏

Tom always writes such beautiful music and has the most genuine, original, & emotion filled videos to go along with it

This is so calming. It makes me feel love, alive and sad at the same time.

I am a very shy, introverted and a not really social person and this song it's just it makes me feel some type of way. Like it makes me feel like I am in heaven. It's so calming. I can't describe how much I love this song. It's just pure art. I could hear one second of the song and I'd still be satisfied. Thinking of this song and the lyrics it really hits hard. Thank you so freakin much for writing and yknow just making this song. I don't know what I would have done without it.

Since my grandma passed in 2019 I've had so much anger and grief in me. I used to look at every elderly person and asked myself why my grandma. She was always kind and helped where she could. I was not a good grandchild, even tho she raised me i could not wait to leave home , when I became a teenager I didn't spend much time with her and that's when she died. I was at my mom's place and she was in the hospital for weeks. My dad never told me what's wrong I never knew she was there until she was dead. I wish to hope she forgave me that I was not there. This song helped me a lot during the time. Sometimes I thought I could still hear her in the hallways or when I was sad she would come to me . Everytime it's her death date it pours cats and dogs, I like to think it's her who's sad that she left. I'm not a person who believes in God but just for her I hope there's heaven. Love you grandma.

This song is very close to heart and makes me want to cry every time I hear it. I was listening to this song when my dog passed and when ever I hear this song I think of her. She was my best friend and I miss her so much. I think of the good and bad times with her and the start of this song gets to me the most. Rip lucy I love you so much ♥️

Bullied as a child. I only had two friends I could trust, and they both abandoned me. Bullied as a teenager, I had no friends. Growing up I made many friends, few remained, and even the last ones disappeared. Most of my family is dead, leaving me nothing but remorse for not spending enough time with them. I had 5 girlfriends, they all cheated on me and abandoned me. I am broken, inside and outside. But one day I found her, the one who improves my life every day, making me feel like the happiest person on earth. But I want to thank everyone in the chat who had the courage to share their stories, you and her make me feel less alone. And this song will always remind me that I'm not the only one going through a bad time. Thank you so much everyone.

Does anyone get goosebumps when he sings "lights are on"? Just me?

My friend requested for this song before his last minutes in hospital.

This song is so underrated like why?? This is literally a masterpiece

EVEN after 5 years, moments of flashback runs in my mind automatically!!..THANK YOU TOM.

This music made my morning better. Thank you Tom for always sharing your beautiful music with us ❤

gentle hug. i wonder how other people feel when listening to your music. thank you. -seventeen year old film scorer from berlin

I get emotional every time I play this song… Tom’s voice is absolutely beautiful.

my confort song

I'm afraid I won't leave a trace, I'll pass and I'll be nothing more than in my mind. I don't know how to get rid of that feeling, I don't know what to look for or where to look for it. With this song I can float for 3 minutes, I must stay with that. Give me something to give me life, and I'll take nothing but your fear and regret. Let us be united so that we all remain in this instant, so that we can remain in an ethereal web of humanity. With this I say what I think and even if no one listens to me and this commentary rots in absolute silence, if there is someone who identifies with this feeling and responds to me, I will know that I am not alone.

*Yet again, another Tom Rosenthal song that feels like home.* *Thank you.*

this feels like a hug, like a place of protection, you Tom are amazing 💜

"God stood me up, and I don't know why." this part.

All I can think about is how blessed I am to be loved by myself, this song brings reassurance to my heart and mind thanks Tom

This song is helping me heal at the same as it's tearing me apart. I love musician's. I love artists. His soft voice resonates into the depth of me soundly and viscerally.

Everything still crying to this BEAUTIFUL song ❤❤❤❤

God stood me up And I don't know why Lights are on But nobody's home There ain't no love like our love There ain't no love like our love Like our love, love, love, love, love Let the last worms go And roll in tonight Don't wake us up We got nothing for you There ain't no love like our love There ain't no love like our love Like our love, love, love, love, love Build us a door And rest here with me Lights are on But nobody's home There ain't no love like our love

This song makes me feel better as well as sad because I wish I could remember more about my dad, all I can remember was how his face looked, his tattoos all over his arms and his back, one side had flames and the other had an angel wing, a little of how his voice sounded. I remember when he would carry me inside when I was asleep, and when I would get scared I would leave my room where me and my brothers shared and I would lay down in the hallway with my blanket outside of my parents door, he would carry me back to bed. He never liked spanking us nor yelling at us when he did my mom told us years later that he never did and he’d always feel bad. I would often think to myself what would have happened if we had found out he had Colon cancer earlier, would he be alive with us and be an actual happy family would mom have been happier. The one thing I remember was how weak he was and looked of course I didn’t know because I was 6. I didn’t know that he was going to die or that he had cancer. And now that I look back on that I can’t help but feel sad that I won’t get to enjoy the last moments with him. I wish that he really was alive. Maybe I’ll meet him again, maybe I’ll get to enjoy life with you once again. I love you dad, it sucks having to live without you since July 5 of 2016. Maybe I’ll see you again soon. I’ve been suffering with some thoughts that I may give in to, I’m not scared of death. Maybe ill be happier and I’ll see him again. If you are reading this, thank you for taking time reading my story. I wrote this as a sort of vent as well as to see if I find people relate to me. My dad was one of the nicest person that you could ever meet. It’s very sad that fate does take people that are very important to family and friends. I wish you all the best in life and I hope you have many happy memories with the people you love because you don’t know when that will be your last. I’ll probably send this to other similar songs so if you see this story you don’t get confused and I’m sorry if this is written badly I don’t write that much. So thank you all. :) -Riley 7/3/23 :)

This was perfect. I love how you've changed the tone of the song to be more chilled too (with the piano and no drums) omg ☁️

Tom I seriously thank you for making your music. It helps me calm down and it feels like you can read my mind. I love every single song from you which is rare from me because I usually only like at most 3 songs from an artist. You and your music has helped me stay alive..you dont even know how I'm feeling. I feel like I have an essay in my head from my thoughts about you and your music but I cant even express how much I love you.

Life can't be perfect all the time. Having bad days makes you appreciate the good ones. If you believe in God it doesn't mean that He will always do everything for you. Sometimes you don't even need the things you pray for, you just haven't realised it yet. But what God always gives you is the strength to cope with all your problems and He helps you to overcome all your fears. Just try to give Him a chance, you have nothing to lose. The song and Tom's voice are perfection. So calm, so beautiful. It's comforting. I see people in the comments saying this saved their life so Tom thank you for that. For everyone reading this, you're amazing and stay strong.

LYRICS : God stood me up and I don't know why Lights are on but nobody's home There ain't no love like our love There ain't no love like our love Like our love love love love love Let the lost ones go and roll into night Don't wake us up We got nothing for you There ain't no love like our love There ain't no love like our love Like our love love love love love Build us a dome and rest here with me Lights are on but nobody's home There ain't no love like our love There ain't no love like our love

only song i've ever cried to. the emotion of having been stood up by God is such a heartbreaking concept, yet so universal.

The light turned off and all I hear is that string in my heart that plays a melody of us with no end.

creating the most soul crushing, heartbreaking, jaw dropping scenes in my brain with this song ✋✋✋

I want to listen to music like this and smile, not cry

Lights are on is one song that I listen before sleeping... It makes my mind calm.Thank you tom for such a beautiful song.

Oh I love this, Tom. Also I was nervous all through the video thinking he won't return or crash the car or she would leave before he's back ughhhhhh Don't know why I got so invested in this relationship in only 3 minutes :')

I don’t usually cry but this is 1/2 song that have made me cry

I feel like God is talking to us through this song ❤

Tom this song is too much to hold in right now. Glad I found this song

This song is just something else man..

I’ve been acting like a tough guy all my life , I never get emotional and even death or heartbreak doesn’t hurt me , but whenever I visit this song I just cry . Thank you

I’m hopefully getting my driver’s license by the end of the year. Once I do get it, I’m creating a playlist of songs, driving out to the middle of nowhere during the summer (I know just the spot) and am going listen to these songs while wandering around. This is one of the songs I will be playing

The song is making me cry I feel it in my heart ❤️😭

This song is like the warmest hug. It's a beautiful song that gets you right in the gut in the most touching, amazing, and thoughtful way. Thank you Tom for this masterpiece.♥️♥️♥️👏👏

You are the best Tom.. ❤ the music you are making is the most beautiful piece of art that world has ever seen.. keep doing it.. we love ya Tom!!! 💘

Such a great song, I love the harmony and the instrumentation. It’s crazy how if he ended the song with that dominant chord at 3:13 the song would have a diff vibe, no resolution.

The prettiest love song I've heard in a long time 💜

I'm here for "The Rain" ♥️

This song breaks while you are teary eyed smiling.

Tom you are Pure Gold. I cant thank you enough for existing and creating such wonderful music. If only we could talk.

I’ll always love coming back this song. It’s so peaceful and full of life. 🌊♥️

This song is still with me to this day 🙏

I am actually pretty sick today and just by listenning to this song, i feel so so much better. Thank you ♡

If I ever had a rough day, I play this song and just let the tears run out as I remember all the things that happened and forget them as I listen to the masterpiece

This song is so beautiful. So haunting. I absolutely love it. It's timeless.

Here from the show “the rain” love this song

This is the last day off the summer holidays for me and i'm so nervous and scared to go back to college. listening to this has calmed me down and i will have your music on repeat all day to get me through it. thank you xx

Only JUST discovered this song... I love it fiercely.

I could listen to this song every day. Especially now in summer, when the sun goes down, with the beautiful colors and the song, it's a great combination✨️

this song is sooo underrated and so perfect!! why isn't it famous?????

Wow, just wow. When I listen to his song I get a feeling inside of me that makes me happy and sad at the same time. This is a masterpiece. Thank you Tom.

This song is exactly how I feel nowadays. Thank you for this flow of feelings ❤

GOD LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT . AMEN

Stressed out and crying

I listen to this song whenever I just need to let all my emotions out when I'm alone, I don't know what I'd do without this song

Tom, thank you so much, I lost my stepdad to cancer recently and now my biological dad is going through the same thing, I’m also in my first year of college and I’m having some identity issues. I’ve been repressing a lot of feelings towards losing someone i considered my dad, and it hasn’t been healthy. I don’t know if I will ever be okay like I use to be, but i will say that this song saved me from losing it all entirely, thank you, it means more than you’ll ever know.

Favorite song🥺

What an amazing experience....

I love this song!!

NO SABEN CUANTO AMO ESTA CANCIÓN, ME SIENTO COMO VIVA CUANDO LA ESCUCHO PORQUE ES MUY PROFUNDA Y ME GUSTA MUCHO COMO SUENA, LA AMO REALMENTE, ES MUY LINDA, LA ESCUCHO Y LLORO DE VERDAD ME ENCANTA

Soo inspiring! An incredible song Tom Rosenthal! God stood me up😍😍😍

I’ve been following Tom Rosenthal for many years now and I love that he is finally getting the deserving recognition.

Thank you so much, Tom Rosenthal, for all the music you put out. You have helped me so much during hard times.​

This is my favourite song. The first song that made me cry; I remember the first time that I heard it I couldn't stop crying. I'm kinda selfish cuz I want this song to stay hidden and kinda for myself Idk if that made sense. I play this when I'm crying, when I'm the Happiest, when I'm angry. It's like my companion THANK YOU TOMMY i hope you know that you're song has made me happy and that's a big thing

Be strong....in this short life ......in this 🌎.....

i just listened to this song and im already crying

Don’t know what I’m gonna do without Tom rosenthal

When I was 7 my mother passed away in her sleep and I was the one who found her,I had a strong connection with her I was hoping that she would live forever but it doesn’t always end up the way we want,when I was 7 I never got involved with church or anything. my grandpa died when I was 9 again he died in his sleep at this point in time I believed in Yahweh and I prayed for him to survive but he didn’t,I stayed home from school for a week and when I went back it was harder than before. my dog died a day after I turned 10 I have three dogs one little one medium and one big the big dogs name is sassy she is a type of German shepherd she is a good girl very sweet,we have had her since she was a pup,chrumpsie the medium dog she is a poodle mix we have also had her since she was a pup,and Rosie the small dog we found her before my mom died she was a stray dog when we brought her home chrumpsie and her would never get along fast forward to the day after my birthday they got in a fight and sassy jumped in and her and Rosie were attacking chrumpsie,my grandma got chrumpsie a free spot to get away but Rosie slid under sassy and got bit and since she was small sassy dragged her upstairs, when we got them to stop Rosie was badly injured her side was bloody I took her a bath and wrapped her up,my sister called animal control to take sassy but they take Rosie because she had air in her lung,they said they would contact us if she survived but they never did and I never stopped blaming myself,that day I lost my best friend. Again at the age of 10 I had two friends that I will not say the name of so let’s call them J and L, J was the friend tha traveled a lot so I was hanging out with L more and one day she started ignoring me and hanging out with J and at first I was like ok we are all friends of course they will hang out but then they started ignoring me completely I mean not answering my calls leaving me on read and avoiding me luckily I had a friend I had known since 2nd grade we will call him M, M was a very good friend to me and would try to talk to L and J but they would say “I don’t want to talk about it” I started blaming myself for everything, it felt like I was a little girl lost in a store,always scared of being left behind, so I started using Hazbin hotel,Demon slayer,Melanie Martinez,clawed beauty,and helluva boss as comfort,I finally had made the decision to block J and L after wanting to commit su!c!de and s3lfh4rm,to cope with the pain I started painting and drawing on my body because I was “too young” to go to therapy I am doing better but I still blame myself for all that has happened…

IM NOT CRYING, YOU ARE.

Yes we are listening

This is My new secret favorite song.
