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
A gun has been fired, echoes from the mountain can’t lie
The hunters, the hunters have been tracking their preys from early morning, the hunters
The snow is still flickering through the cold breezing sky
The blood on the ground is disappearing underneath
The hunter is coming
December’s falling down and time suddenly seems too numb to care
I never thought it could be that cold here
The hunter is coming, the hunter is coming for me, the hunter, the hunter
Another footstep away from you, lost in long-distance storms
My long view’s blurry by slow streaming cast and tones
The hunter is coming
My heart’s howling for spring, for memories to revive
But high hopes never bloom from our saddened demise
The hunter is coming
The hunter, the hunter is coming
He’s coming for me
The prey is laying down in the freezing evening cold
Wounded by the very same hands that used to feed his land
The winter
The air so sweet and soft, it’s almost perfume, over its body, broken, broken, broken
Horizon’s never been that magnificent, that vivid and free
But freedom has a color, a color that I just can’t see, no
The hunter is coming
The men, tired of their ceremonial walk over, walk over the hill
Standing witnesses, life leaving traces of a dream now fading into the night
And I’m breathing in, and I’m breathing out, breathing in
The hunter is coming
Another footstep away from you, I’m lost in distant storms
Another footstep away
My long view’s blurry by snow streaming cast and tones
Seaside never felt that far, never felt that unreachable
My heart’s howling, my heart’s howling for spring, for memories to revive
The hunter is coming
But high hopes never bloom
The hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
Coming for me
I never thought it could be that cold here
The winter is coming, the winter is coming, the hunter is coming
Forgiveness is a gift, much like love carries you away, away
We’re kneeling our last breath away
And I’m breathing in, and I’m breathing out
The hunter is coming
As we stand under a crystal curtain of dazzling gold
Beholding a last image of youthful faith
The hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
Forgiveness is a gift, much like love carries you away, away, away, away
The hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
The hunter is coming
The hunter, the hunter, the hunter, the hunter is coming
He’s coming for me
He’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming for me
He’s coming for me
The hunter, the hunter, the hunter is coming for me
He’s coming for me
Forgiveness is a gift, much like love carries you away, away
One step away from you
Don’t wait for me, I won’t be back this time, won’t come home tonight
I’ve closed my eyes in peaceful glimpses of pure white sky, I’ve closed my eyes
I’ve closed my eyes in peaceful glimpses of pure white sky, I’ve closed my eyes
And I’m thinking of you, feeding the fire, feeding the fire
And I’ve closed my eyes
Don’t wait for me, I won’t be back this time, don’t wait for me
Don’t wait for me, I won’t come home tonight, don’t wait for me
And I’ve closed my eyes and I’m thinking about you
And I’ve closed my eyes and I’m thinking about you
Feeding the fire, feeding the fire, feeding the fire
Soft as the wind, bright as the sky
Soft as the wind, bright as the sky
And I’ve closed my eyes and I’m thinking about you
And I’ve closed my eyes and I’m thinking about you
You’re as soft as the wind, as bright as the sky
Don’t wait for me, I won’t be back this time, don’t wait for me
Don’t wait for me, I won’t come home tonight, don’t wait for me
I’ve closed my eyes and I’m thinking about you
You’re as soft as the wind, you’re as bright as the sky
You’re as soft as the wind, as bright as the sky
And I’ve closed my eyes
I’ve closed my eyes
Time is slowly disappearing
Time is slowly disappearing
Time is slowly disappearing
Time is slowly disappearing
Time is slowly disappearing
Time is slowly disappearing
Time is slowly disappearing
Time is slowly, time is slowly, time is slowly, time is slowly
The wound is deep
The wound is deep
The wound is deep
The wound is deep I can feel it in my flesh, in my flesh, in my flesh, in my flesh
The wound is deep I can feel it in my flesh
The wound is deep I can feel it in my flesh, in my flesh
His blood as witness
His blood as witness
The wound is deep I can feel it in my flesh
The wound is deep I can feel it in my flesh, in my bones, in my flesh, in my muscles and bones
His blood as my witness
The wound is deep I can feel it in my flesh
The wound is deep I can feel it in my flesh, in my bones, in my flesh, in my muscles and bones
His blood as my witness
His blood as my witness
His blood as my witness
His blood as my witness
You’re as soft as the wind, you’re as bright as the sky
I can feel your spirit
I can feel your spirit
I can feel your spirit
I can feel your spirit, your spirit, your spirit
I can feel your spirit
I can feel your spirit
I can feel your spirit
With his blood as my witness
Echoes from the mountain can’t lie
You’re as soft as the wind, you’re as bright as the sky

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
