Which is the concept behind the lyrics of the track?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you! The song centers around a breakup or rather a slow \u201cburning out\u201d of one\u2026 The metaphor of the \u201cPilot Light\u201d is used in that context. An actual pilot light is a small gas flame that allows older gas stoves to be lit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li><strong>Do you remember the video shooting for this promotional video clip?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, we initially shot footage at Jones Beach out on Long Island, New York but after the untimely passing of my manager Gary Salzman from Covid-19 related illness we shelved the first shoot. We eventually re-shot the video with my NYC band filming themselves at home playing along to the track and then Alex Vishno (who also directed my last music video, \u201cLove You the Most\u201d) edited it together into what you see now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jann Klose - Pilot Light (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bk391xGhe7g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\"><li><strong>Is this track part of a full album or your current plan is about releasing singles?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, I am releasing singles now.

I put everything I had into it, literally. It\u2019s been great to see it become a success and develop a life of its own. I\u2019m very thankful to my listeners. They made it possible for me to make the record. The Academy of Sound Engineering in South Africa also deserves a massive shout out as that\u2019s where we recorded it with SA producer and artist RJ Benjamin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\"><li><strong>How does the lockdown affect your activities on professional level?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m doing a lot more writing, producing and teaching\/workshopping currently and my shows take place online.
