Candlelight



I met you at work on a Saturday night

your eyes were blue in the restaurant's light

you glanced at me and said you'd be my man

you said, 'Pretty girl, I'll spend my life with you'


I'm your candlelight

we'll be all right

every time you call my name

I light the way

every time you call my name

even if it's raining

my love won't ever grow dim on you


you're from Carolina, grew up on a horse

you know how to dance, and you're a rodeo cowboy

I'm a waitress by day, a singer by night

you heard me play at the bar where I work


I'm your candlelight

we'll be all right

every time you call my name

I light the way

every time you call my name

even if it's raining

my love won't ever grow dim on you

Songs


A guitar, a voice, and a little love—here I found my home in the world.


I grew up listening to Simon And Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Tracy Chapman, and many other folk legends.


Music teaches me to surrender and flow with life. To let go, let my little soul play, and the song naturally arises in that space. I capture that moment live with minimal production. My wish is for the songs to come alive in you.



Lila Tace


My journey in art started in torment as a fifteen-year-old girl. Life was suffocating me, and I felt small. The world was hostile, and I had no voice. I was cloaked in layers of pain that kept me from experiencing and expressing my soul authentically. Thankfully, music found me.


Songs came to me in dreams, and I jotted them down. I taught myself to play the guitar and slowly broke out of my shell. Arriving at authenticity through art is a spiritual journey. Each art session is a purge—a rewriting of destiny with each sharing of art.


It took me fifteen years to free my little soul from the tar I collected. Today, I freely express myself and feel alive. This, to me, is a miracle as I think back to where it all started.


Today, art is my spiritual discipline, a meditation—A direct experience of my soul aligned with the flow of life. Through art, I experience God. Through art, I surrender layers of my past to discover who I truly am.


I share The Spiritual Path Of Art through my podcast, books, and community. It is my wish that you find your place in the world as an artist!
