about

My mom used to recite Emily Dickinson in our kitchen. "Will there ever be a morning, is there such a thing as day" and even though I have only read her somewhat, the way she played with senses stuck with me. This song is about the quest, and pursuit of an end.

Fun Fact: This has my favorite guitar solo of all my recordings. I do like a good guitar solo and, there are a lot of good ones and good players but yeah, I love this one. It even has a "wrong" note but I didn't care.

Fun Fact 2: I started to write this song with a guy named Paul Goldman but we couldn't agree on the structure or the time signature, so he wrote his in 4/4 and I wrote mine in 3/4. Having taken Ballroom dancing in college, I do like a waltz.

lyrics

Higher till I reach the sun a swan dive meant to grace your door
I’m flying death defying broken wings are lying on your floor

Patience say a prayer for me and save me from this shallow grave
Kiss me gently hold me tight I’ll tell you of the plans I made

Fan me from the flame
It’s driving me insane

God I want you have to have you but the words are hard to find
Can’t you see it can’t you feel it I’m about to lose my mind

Fight with reason Walk with chaos lost above the thieving crowd
Eat the words and feel the sound If only I could cry out loud

Fan me from the flame it’s driving me
Pull me from this flame it’s making me
Fan me from the flame
It’s driving me insane
