Have you ever been sitting around a campfire with people you love and found you can talk about things there that are often too hard to talk about elsewhere? In his song "Anthem," Leonard Cohen famously wrote, "there is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in." "The Fire Lets the Light In," the 2026 song from The Pinkerton Raid, resonates that idea in its chorus lyrics: "tonight, we need a lighting strike to burn the walls between us / the fire makes a way for light and lets you see the love." The image comes from a video animation by Bernardo Tirelli for the new album IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY, TELL THEM. The song ends with these lyrics you see on the T-shirt design, "the fire lets the light in, and we love." Wear it for the friends and family you need to have the difficult conversations with.
