• Tano Jones is intrigued by timelines, how the chances of two people crossing paths at the same time in the same place are minute, yet still it happens. Must be some kind of divine intervention.
  
  In "Light It," he sings about two people who meet and make a deep connection, moving from attraction to intimacy, eventually finding a higher love.
• "Light It" was released in 2021 and later appeared on The Tano Jones Revelry album Spinning North. Jones was married when he started making the album just before COVID, but got divorced before it was released. The album is bifurcated to reflect this drastic change.
  
  "As things progressed, and as I began to get into the whole lockdown situation, I noticed that my writing began to change a little bit and the recording slowed down," he told Songfacts. "I, like so many, was looking for ways to stay busy, stay relevant and really be industrious relative to the writing process. So the studio actually became my safe place, if you will."
  
  "I have three boys and I was married at the time," he added. "Ultimately, the pre-COVID period would have been the sunny days and COVID was obviously the darker days and the storms and everything associated with it."
• Tano Jones produced the Spinning North album with Andy Patalan of the band Sponge. Patalan and Jones are both from Detroit and well known on the musical scene in that city.
