about

"Wildfire" is about being limited by other people, and it's a song of support for those who listen to their gut feeling and break out of unhealthy relationships with family, friends or lovers. It's meant to empower. Musically, it is inspired by the raw and organic recordings of the 70s, and I want the listeners to feel that I'm singing directly to them. "Wildfire" is the second single out from my second album "Summoning", that will be released on October 11th.

lyrics

WILDFIRE

Made to fill a part
and to deny it is a start
but where to go when it gets dark?
They lead you to believe
that certain things are meant to be
that they know what you can achieve
Rest your head on asphalt
Lay your cheek on gravel road

Waiting for a chance
to hold your future in your hands
but you must do what he demands
Every other day
those other faces pass your way
and wonder if you are okay
Rest your head on asphalt
Lay your cheek on gravel road

If you raise your voice
you'll step right into wildfire
but do you have a choice?
Feel the burning skin
It feels safer to retire
but you can't outrun this summoning

It's you, it's you who decides what you'll say
It's you, it's you who decides if you'll stay

Waiting for a sign
to leave your ball and chain behind
but now you're scared of what you'll find
What if all you know
is to accept and to let go
of every stone that they might throw?
Rest your head on asphalt
Lay your cheek on gravel road

Listen to the sound
of heavy iron hitting ground
and take your time to come around
You know what you need
when you feel ready you proceed
Before a harvest comes a seed
Rest your head on asphalt
Lay your cheek on gravel road

If you raise your voice
you'll step right into wildfire
but do you have a choice?
Feel the burning skin
It feels safer to retire
but you can't outrun this summoning

It's you, it's you who decides
It's you, it's you who decides what you'll say
It's you, it's you who decides
It's you, it's you who decides if you'll stay
