Coming in hot with
Burn
02. Off the “The Mountains inside”
“Burn” came about
before a very transformational part of my life. Unknowingly, I felt a need and desire to submit myself to something greater…to complete let go of control. To allow myself to be carved out by the universe, to trust in the transformation and flow. The dry synths and whispers under the unsuspecting verse create a slow build that blooms into a powerful chorus.
Soon after the song was complete, my life completely turned upside-down. It became one of the most chaotic moments I had ever experienced, but now I look back and and am grateful, for I recognize that the flames have delivered me to a much better place.
Astrological energy of JUPITER IN SCORPIO
Death and destruction on a massive scale, but for the best outcome
Gear in making the song: Ibanez artcore AM93 semi-hollow body guitar, Audio Technica 4033a condenser microphone, Presonus studio channel tube preamplifier, Native Instruments interface and Komplete software, and Ableton Live
Burn
You came into my life
A whirlwind of knives
Patiently
My will as hard as rock
My soul twisted in knots
Tightly
But there is something more steadfast than precious stone
A transformation that can’t happen on its own
Burn the flame
Torch me again
Burn, burn
In my dreams I was flying
Free from dying
Eternally
But when I awoke
I saw the ground and choked
Indefinitely
And there is only one way to get to the other side
You’ve got to allow a part of you to die
Burn the flame
Torch me again
Burn, burn
Let it burn, let it burn let it burn again
Let it burn, let it burn (x2)
