Welcome to Heartlight

"Welcome to Heartlight" is a Kenny Loggins song from his 1982 concept album, High Adventure. While many fans perceive this song as being inspired by the Steven Spielberg film E.T., it is really about a school in Southern California that's actually called "Heartlight". The song was inspired by writings from students from that school. On most pressings of High Adventure and on some Loggins greatest hits compilation albums, it is officially titled simply "Heartlight". The title was expanded to "Welcome to Heartlight" to avoid confusion with Neil Diamond's song also called "Heartlight".
