“Vision of You” is the fifth single from Belinda Carlisles Runaway Horses album, released in 1990.
A video clip was also produced featuring both live footage of the songs performance and tour material shot during her Asian tour. The single was a remixed from the album version, giving it a more uptempo sound. The song was the lowest charting single from the album. In the UK, it only managed to reach #41 but was a hugely popular radio hit, it was re-released a year later after the success of “(We Want) the Same Thing” and “Summer Rain”, but it charted lower at #71.
In 1992, US Singer Jennifer Rush recorded the song for her Jennifer Rush album. It was released as a single in Europe in 1993 and was also recorded in Spanish. Another cover was also recorded and released by Tony Award-winning musical actress Lea Salonga in 1993. The song appeared on her self-titled album the same year.

“Leave a Light On” is a pop song written by Rick Nowels and Ellen Shipley, produced by Nowels for Belinda Carlisle’s third solo album Runaway Horses (1989).

The single narrowly missed the top ten in the US peaking at number 11. It fared much better elsewhere, reaching the top five in several countries, including Australia, Austria, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

Released as the album’s first single at the end of 1989 “Leave a Light On” became a top-ten hit in Australia, Austria, Canada, the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, “Leave a Light On” peaked at number 11, affording Carlisle her final US top-twenty hit.

“Leave a Light On” features George Harrison on slide guitar; Carlisle recalls: “Rick [Nowels] said we should get someone cool and with a distinctive style to play the lead guitar part. I thought for a moment and said ‘What about George Harrison?’ I had met George briefly a few years earlier in San Remo Italy and Morgan [Mason, Carlisle’s husband] through his work on Sex Lies and Videotape” – a film Mason had produced for Harrison’s HandMade Films – “knew someone who was close to [Harrison] and able to get word to him. George responded right away, saying he’d love to help out.”

The single can be heard in a 1991 episode of the TV sitcom Out of This World entitled “I Want My Evie TV”.

There are four versions of the song: The album version, and the 7″ Edit of the song, this versions were mixed by Shelly Yakus and Steve McMillan. The other two are the Extended Mix and the edit of this mix, called the Kamikazee mix, the later included on Carlisle’s “Vision of You” CD single, Jason Corsaro made these two mixes.
