Why do I love living in Austin? Getting to bump into musical virtuoso and guitar legends like the one and only while going through airport security.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my ride or die . Te Amo por siempre MND!!!

Feliz Cumpleaños al amor de mi vida MND, mi Makaleka. Me siento tan afortunado de caminar contigo en esta aventura. Aprender, crecer, reír y descubrir contigo es algo que me inspira todos los días. Tú eres mi ride or die y mi persona favorita en la tierra. Echas sol a todos y brillas aún más cada día. Te amo con todo mi yo. I love you baby!

I wanted to share and translate this post by .medio. This support of Lights truly means the world to me and I am very honored:

“Wow, the moment has come to be moved to tears by this beautiful melody from Jeff Iftekaruddin. Through his melodic, slightly melancholic voice, he invites us to remember those who are no longer with us. As the end of the year approaches, this song becomes a powerful space for reflection — for recalling the moments that have shaped us over time, and especially for honoring the loved ones who were lost along the way. They are no longer here, but have become stars that follow us wherever we go. This artist has truly reached my heart. Let this song stay with you for a while, as you remember and look up at the sky.

Lights is one of those tracks you won’t be able to get out of your head. It’s packed with great moments and spectacular sounds throughout — trust me, you don’t want to miss a song of this caliber.“

I will never get over reading these stats. It feels amazing to know that I am able to connect with people, if only for a few short minutes, around the globe. I am so honored that you have chosen to listen to my music! Thank YOU! Cheers to my early risers, party starters, shared treasures, and night owls!

I would like to thank the following humans for all their hard work in helping me bring this song to you today. for his amazing mixing and production, for his tremendous mastering, for his flawless piano playing, for his perfect drums, for his foundation of base and .mcpherson for doing what only Jerry can do, take guitar playing to another level.

Lights for me is a song about trying to reach someone, never knowing if your transmission was successful. I like to think this one made it to the right place.

I knew the second I saw this picture that my wife took of me at 4am in the middle of the ocean that it would be the cover to Lights. Thank you for this amazing photo!

Thank you to for such a perfect cover design.

Wherever you choose to listen to music you can hear this song.
