Italian Experimenatl Progressive Rock project Mesmerising (Davide Moscato) published the official music video for the new single “Lighting The Candle,” out on December 13, 2024. Watch the viedo through the YouTube player below:
This song explores a journey through despair, fear, and a struggle to find inner peace amidst chaos. The lyrics describe a “darkest night” filled with intense emotional and existential turbulence, where the narrator battles to
“light the candle”—a metaphor for finding hope, clarity, or sanity in a time of overwhelming darkness. The imagery of “winds rattling the shutters” and “dancing with death” evokes a world filled with uncontrollable forces, where fear and helplessness are palpable, especially in everyday settings like grocery stores and pharmacies, suggesting a collective crisis or shared trauma. Overall, this song portrays a profound journey through inner turmoil and
existential dread, ultimately finding solace in love, presence, and self-awareness.
