"Wasted Light" is a song released from Irish singer/songwriter Ronan Keating's ninth solo album "Fires".

Radio Creme Brulee stated that "On the song, Keating sings from the perspective of a man reminiscing about a love that took the form of a journey.

The track opens with a sparse acoustic guitar arrangement and a light mid-tempo percussion that one can easily snap his or her fingers to.

It incorporates more sonic layers as the verses progress serving as a gradual build-up for the achingly beautiful chorus.

The song paints quite a picture and despite its lyrics, has an uplifting feel with a flavor that is reminiscent of Keating’s debut single 'When You Say Nothing at All.
