   About the National Lights
THE NATIONAL LIGHTS is the primary songwriting project of Jacob Thomas Berns. Assisted by the arrangements of Chris Kiehne (the Bland Allisons, Sonya Cotton), the National Lights' full-length debut, "The Dead Will Walk, Dear," sets out to forgive the past while compounding its wrongs. Stirred by the fiction of the American Gothic and the 1980s slasher film, "The Dead Will Walk, Dear" seeks solace where it is least deserved.

In 2006, Jacob Thomas moved to Richmond, Va. where he is currently writing and recording the National Lights' follow-up, entitled "Whom the Sea Will Keep," a collection of songs that features whaling ships, captains' daughters, and Joshua Slocum.

Hey, I was just wondering how the new album is coming along? Is it still going as planned? I threw on Dead Will Walk, Dear again today and figured I'd check your site and this profile.

Heeeeeello... Jacobinater (raider)! Hope your 2009 has started off with lots of smiles, laughter, music, mind nourishing creativity, captivating company, red wine (if thats what your into..haha) lots of love and happiness, moments of relaxation. Are all these things even possible all at once? lol.

I'm done now. Ramblification complete.

love swimming in the swamp- glad you added it.

i play your album for people in my 1989 volvo sedan and i love the moment when they actually hear the lyrics with the beautiful music...after an inquiring look and pause they always end up wanting the album.
