"This issue doesn't just affect one of us, or a few of us, it affects all of us. We're proud to work alongside the AFSP to support their mission to bring hope to those affected by suicide, and proud that this song -- which has been special to us since it was first written -- can play a part in bringing a little more light to an incredibly important topic." - Jacoby Shaddix
"We all have a role in preventing suicide and supporting each another's mental health. Music has always been a powerful way to spread these messages. That's why we are so thankful to Papa Roach for making mental health messages a priority throughout their career and most recently with "Leave a Light On" and renaming it after our campaign Talk Away The Dark, and their generous donation will support AFSP's public education, programs for survivors of loss, research, and advocacy work, that is essential to saving lives." - AFSP CEO Bob Gebbia
This song speaks to me...How about you? The connection between the message of the song and the cause is undeniably evident. This impactful initiative teaches us the warning signs for suicide, and how to have a conversation that could save a life — whether it's someone else's or your own. Help is available — Talking, is the first step to preventing suicide.
