Belinda Carlisle - Leave A Light On (Runaway Horses Tour '90)

from "Runaway Live" Live at the NEC Arena, Birmingham, UK, May 26, 1990
Lyrics:
Take my hand
Tell me what you are feeling
Understand
This is just the beginning
Although I have to go
It makes me feel like crying
I don't know when I'll see you again
Darling leave a light on for me
I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me
'cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe
I can't explain I just don't know
Just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key
Just leave a light on for me
Yes I know
What I'm asking is crazy
You could go
Just get tired of waiting
But if I lose your love
Torn out by my desire
That would be the one regret of my life
Just like a spark lights up the dark
Baby that's your heart

good old times when music was music, and artists were artists....

[@ptabz3112]

I love this song. Specially with actual live vocals. She's an amazing performer

[@kyawkyawwin1]

Another great performer - so much better than today's rubbish.

[@gerriepieters9033]

I hear this song when I was 6years old and my mom was crying...about my father who was not here anymore....she kept waiting every night and put a candle...

[@CindyManit]

Wow this is so sad….. 😞

[@stewartsnape1231]

Belinda struck oil when she found that guitarist he’s dynamite musician

[@shelby3822]

full great band, no autotune, sounding just like studio track - miss those days

[@davidpeters3857]

💯

[@mrkurt64]

She has a great voice and is an amazing performer !

[@Schmidteren]

last one I watched was not live, good to see a live performance. Pretty good.

[@RavishingBeyond]

My light was on for Belinda then. It still is now. :)

[@joetrump7527]

Your electricity bill must be painful.😅

[@DanielBeyeler]

Now with the energy crisis she needs to find her way in the dark.

[@abcxyz-nd6xh]

What a beautiful 90 summer! But probably I was taking U final exam that time. My ex-GF loved her songs so much.

[@jvidalw]

Wonderful singer and oh-so-gorgeous girl Belinda!

[@leokimvideo]

A well earthed performer. That's her secret power.

[@michaeltuffin8147]

Actually, it was mountains of cocaine.

[@yourmaw8790]

definitely the best belinda, early 90s belinda. What an eternal star

[@salamwati9281]

Most of Belinda's songs are magical..makes you feel like you are soaring in the air free as a bird. This one's especially.😘

[@davidpeters3857]

[@clintgates7526]

Former Beatle George Harrison on slide guitar solo made this Belinda Carlisle song a true classic

[@markduncan6690]

The drummer is pure dynamite!!

[@congakoenig]

mark duncan Curt Bisquera, LA Studio Legend. Played with Elton John also

[@TobiGit]

I love this Woman and Song, I wish someone would leave a light on for me

[@brunoamescandiotti711]

the rocker girl..!

[@outtahere321]

Love you Belinda... beautiful

[@artnowakowski6611]

80's at its finest and her guitarist- top notch.

[@davidpeters3857]

💯

[@econdude3811]

The entire band was rockin' it, would have been awesome in person

[@badmanvegeta88]

George Harrison actually provided the slide guitar solo on the studio mix.

[@lorenmorgan1931]

He's good, but no one other than Mike Campbell can play a Harrison solo.

[@foreveverseptember2]

My LDL ..leave the light on - never let it extinguish - like my love it will burn forever and ever.........LOVE YOU for always xXx

[@catokarlsen3178]

A pop gem!

[@birminghamb1ues]

I was there - just a few rows from the front! Tried so hard to spot myself in the audience - but can't :( (I'll keep looking). What an Incredible voice and Sensational performance. Thanks so much for posting!

[@louisedavies8411]

I was there too, who was the support act?

[@lorenmorgan1931]

Was the audio that good live? Lol. I honestly can't remember what a concert in the early 80s and 90s sounded like anymore. This sounds great though.

[@kevinlane1244]

love her voice

[@mohamadazli8104]

Belinda,you are the best forever and ever

[@erikguns6501]

Simplemente HERMOSAAA

[@solarczyk49]

Beautiful song 😍

[@btetschner]

Great song, thank you for the video.

[@annaliese7983]

god i wish i was alive for this stg

[@kennyluciano4913]

Seen her in Brighton, UK in 1990, and in Chautauqua, NY 1990

[@jonathanyeong324]

HER LIVE MUSIC IS EVEN BETTER THAN HER RECORDED ONES!

[@laserlithuanian]

stunning

[@spionsilver9626]

my favorite live version of this song its not easy to sing this song live .. the vocals are very high and very powerful not easy to hit em but she did it and she looked like having fun doing it :) she had it all in the 90´s

[@horaciobarrios8125]

Wow !!

[@pulvi3329]

I’d leave all my lights on for Belinda, I’d get someone else to pay the electricity bill! 😍

[@chopper5245]

Loved it!

[@jocylenesyperez-yao3095]

Love her music

[@DJKekoRemember]

Que buen rollo de canción

[@MrAnucam]

Very nice

[@enzzorossettimunoz3009]

Hermosa

[@craig8860]

Imagine if pop music was like this nowadays, live musicians, fuck, even live vocals...

[@sonnalwijesinghe6114]

No swearing 🤬

[@chrisdavis9646]

Pretty sure that is Becca and Donna doing backing vocals. Donna hitting the highs

[@carlosvargas4251]

La mejor version George Harrinson en la guitarra es unica

[@alxmas5124]

тееееееееееййййййккк мааааааааааййййй хээээээееееееннндд! :-)

[@Hawkeye--bc2wt]

Alien 👽 BEAUTIFUL...... CHRIST

[@anthonychiulli7736]

Can’t believe George Harrison on lead guitar on album

[@nigelmikaele]

Joe Satriani and Jeff Porcaro on giutar and drums :) heehehehe!!!!

[@Di.Bo69]

i missed the Orginal Harrison Solo Part

[@RayMusicman9]

The guitarist did a good job on the solo, but George slide playing was just SO precise that it's difficult to nail.

[@jvidalw]

​@@RayMusicman9 I think the guitarist nailed George's solo

[@libertyordeaf]

@@jvidalw It was note-perfect but lacked George's fluidity.

[@Heartboy1031]

Background singer sounded like Bekka Bramlett there at the end. I thought it was here. lol

[@Sharky165]

Jane Wiedlin (Go-Go’s rhythm guitarist) sang the backup vocals on the studio recording of this song. I don’t think that’s Becca on backup here; looks like the keyboard player.

[@chrisdavis9646]

It might have been Becca. She did sing backup for Belinda for a while along with Donna Deleroy

[@DMKano87]

2:16 A guitarist mistake?

[@kevintjuh93]

Don't think I can hear it.. hm

[@DMKano87]

He started to play an instrumental part that really starts at 2:29. In 2:18 Belinda signals that her hand (I think).

[@TrackerNeil]

I think Belinda sounds pretty good here, but, wow, this song is vapid.

[@richardrobertson1886]

Perhaps musically. But emotionally it depends on your life experience. As a service member there are times where this idea of leaving the light on - asking someone to wait for you - and their existence back home is the stour source of strength is something that hits home.

[@TrackerNeil]

@@richardrobertson1886 The thing about this song is that the metaphor--leaving a light on = someone waiting--isn't carried through the song. I looked up the verses and they have nothing to do with this metaphor. Hell, even the refrain isn't consistent! I don't know who wrote this song, but I think whoever it was took a rhyme-over-reason approach to the lyrics. If "Leave a Light On" appeals to you emotionally, fine--I don't get to tell you what to find touching. However, as a work of art, I think this song misses the mark.

[@maxpower252]

She is so beautiful, I don't understand why she dressed like a 85 year old granny.

[@danielengland5463]

you dick

[@muhdshukriabdhamid7043]

So people can focus on her singing.

[@maxpower252]

@@muhdshukriabdhamid7043 Does she sing?

[@muhdshukriabdhamid7043]

@@maxpower252 It seems so in the video. Nowadays not so much.

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

Tempo too fast, tempo is inconsistent, voice sounds strained and has no soul. Sorry, your primetime has passed.

[@richrocca6814]

7367Network she had just gotten back into coke so no surprise her voice sounds strained

[@markduncan6690]

7367Network That is an interesting " overview"!

[@nz1701d]

You're probably more familiar with iTunes, lip synced and autotuned live vocals. Real live music's not for everyone.

[@jovike7203]

I adore Belinda but i agree about this opinion. In this concert Belinda seemed not completely in herself. I prefere her recent performances of this song, she feels more what she sings

[@27171971]

She had a cold on this day and they ask her to cancel the show,but she declined..as she didn’t wanted to disappoint her fans..
