About “Standing Under Bright Lights”
Standing Under Bright Lights takes place approximately 6 months after the release of Alex Henry Foster's phenomenal first solo album Windows in the Sky, that not only debuted at number 3 on the Canadian top 200, right behind Imagine Dragons and Muse, but that also stayed on the top 40 for a year after its initial release, scoring a nomination for best album of the year in Canada while being internationally acclaimed and added to several best albums shortlists all over the world.
The concert was to be a one-off happening, a homage to Foster's late father, who had died almost 5 years prior, almost to the day of the event. It would consist of the entire album Windows in the Sky, re-invented for the occasion as an 11-piece band set to perform along a movie projection produced by Foster. Also based on Foster's vision, award-winning light engineer Pascal Boily created a unique scenic installation, offering an immersive universe where music, movie projections, and light co-existed. Alex wanted for the public to be invited to dwell on the moment rather than have the sensation of attending a concert.

lyrics
The burden of life is love, love
The burden of life is love
Love, love
But we carry the weight wearily and so must rest in the arms of love
We must carry the weight
(The weight of the world
is love.
Under the burden
of solitude,
under the burden
of dissatisfaction
the weight,
the weight we carry
is love.
but we carry the weight
wearily,
and so must rest
in the arms of love
at last,
must rest in the arms
of love.
No rest
without love,
no sleep
without dreams
of love--
The warm bodies
shine together
in the darkness,
the hand moves
to the center
of the flesh,
the skin trembles
in happiness
and the soul comes
joyful to the eye--
yes, yes,
that's what
I wanted,
I always wanted,
I always wanted,
to return
to the body
where I was born.)
We all wish to find a place
To go back as a friend
To hear our names from the high-wave stand
We all wish to find a place
Easy to let go
We all wish to find a place
To go back as a lover
We stir and swirl, we kneel and hope, we cry and pray
Easy to follow
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
We all wish to find a place
To go back as a lover
To feel the tide from our high-wave stand
We all wish to find a place
In the shadows between the lights
In the shadows of our evening tides
I never learned how to swim
Like water in my hands, on your lips
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
In the shadows of our evening tides
In the shadows between the lights
In the shadows of our evening tides
In the shadows between the lights
In the shadows of our evening tides
In the shadows between the lights
In the shadows of our evening tides
In the shadows between the lights
Between the lights
Between the lights
Between the lights
We carry the weight
We carry the weight of love
We must carry the weight
We must carry the weight
We must carry the weight
It’s too heavy, it’s too heavy, it’s too heavy
Without love
But it’s too heavy, it’s too heavy, it’s too heavy
Without love
There’s no rest without love
There’s no sleep without love
There’s no peace without love
There’s no comfort, no alibi
Without peace, oh
Without love, oh
Without love, no
Without love, oh
There’s no rest, there’s no peace without love
There’s no rest, there’s no peace without love
There’s no rest, there’s no peace without love
There’s no rest, there’s no peace without love
It’s so heavy, it’s so heavy
It’s so heavy to carry the weight of love
The weight of love
It’s so heavy
Love
It’s so heavy without love, heavy
It’s so heavy without love
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends, we must let go
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends, we must let go
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends, we must let go
It’s so heavy without love
It’s so heavy without love
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends, we must let go
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends, we must let go
Oh, we must let go
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends, we must let go
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends, we must let go
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends, we must let go
We must let go
We must let go
We must let go
We must let go
Oh, love, love, love
Oh, love, love, love
Oh, love, love, love
Oh, love, love, love
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends, we must let go
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends
We must let go, let go
We must let go
Oh, love, love, love
Oh, love, love, love
We must let go
Oh, love, love, love
We must let go
Oh, love, love, love
There’s no rest without love, no peace without love
No rest without love, no peace without love
No rest without love, no peace without love
Oh, brothers, sisters, and lovers, and friends, we must let go
In the arms of love
In the arms of love
Oh, we must let go in the arms of love
Oh, we must let go in the arms of love
Oh, we must let go in the arms of love

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art?
But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
The proceeds of this extensive compilation of punk and rock go towards the healthcare costs of beloved musician Dan Wild-Beesley. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2017

Fantastic album. Very reminiscent of 90s slowcore with an even more beautiful and dark edge. It's hard to find music like this nowadays but I'm very pleased to have found it. Jesse Mullen
