Rick Lee James is celebrating a significant milestone with his Christmas single "Lights of Love," which has reached No. 1 on the Louder Than The Music Singles Chart. Since its November 6 release, the song has also attracted considerable attention online, with its official lyric video surpassing 55,000 YouTube views in just two weeks.
Written around the experience of remembering loved ones who are no longer present, "Lights of Love" offers a thoughtful message for those who find the Christmas season both joyful and difficult. While the holidays often bring celebration, they can also bring renewed feelings of loss and longing.
James hopes the song will remind listeners that grief and hope can exist together, particularly during a season when memories of loved ones become especially meaningful.
Beyond its chart success and growing online audience, "Lights of Love" is beginning to find a place in churches, homes, and personal holiday listening. Musicians who wish to perform the song can access a free chord chart, and the song is also available through CCLI SongSelect.
For James, the growing response represents more than a chart achievement. His hope is that the song will bring comfort to people carrying difficult memories through the holidays and remind them that they are not alone.
"Sometimes music can't fix what we've lost. But it can help us remember, and sometimes remembering is part of how we keep loving," James shares.
"Lights of Love" is now available on major streaming platforms.
