“Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle to You (Deconstructed Mix)” is a minimalist cover of Dolly Parton’s song by the same name.
Notably, Kesha’s mother, Pebe Sebert, was a writer of the original song. Kesha went on to cover the song on her third studio album, Rainbow, featuring Dolly Parton herself.
[Verse 1]
Downtown tonight
I saw an old friend
Someone who I use to take comfort from long before I met you
I saw a spark in his eyes of forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, I could've rekindled that fire
[Chorus]
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
[Verse 2]
Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known
Remember 'em holding them helps me not feel so alone
And I feel you beside me
And even their memories are gone like stars in the night
Lost in the sweet light of dawn
[Chorus]
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
Old flames can't hold a candle to you, mmm
