  Simon Joyner's gift for songwriting lies in his ability to find profound meaning in ordinary moments. Lost with the Lights On is filled with sharply observed characters, emotional ambiguity, and beautifully crafted melodies. The arrangements remain understated, allowing the lyrics to carry much of the weight. Joyner never reaches for easy revelations. It's one of the strongest records from one of America's most underappreciated songwriters.
