about

In both cases the lyrics came first which was kind of a new thing to me at the time. Last year I was on vacation in the northern part of Portugal, in Viana do Castelo, and there was this really tiny room on a fourth floor or something we were staying at. It had a charming little crt television on top of an ancient looking wooden side table and a very small window from which you could see the most beautiful scenery: a number of tile roofed low-rise houses paving the way for a hill dressed in green on top of which rested the stunning Santa Luzia Sanctuary. There had been this big fire in the district the day before (it was fire season) and by dusk the view from the window was shrouded with a densely eerie purple mist – quite the sight. While trying to fall asleep the birds outside chatted furiously as if both confused and angry with it all. The entire thing was remarkable and, perhaps not surprisingly, led to the writing of “Come Flames”. This is a place I want to come back to eventually. Hopefully it will inspire me to come up with something new again.

lyrics

The temple’s lights shut down, the rocks and sand are drowned
Darkness spread across the sea
And the seagulls sang of old tragedies with the pigeons

The bridge stands tall and strong, but listening to that song
Makes its iron run weak
And from the smallest window he witnessed grand memories

Oh come flames, like echoes from a church bell
Like glass on skin
Won’t you get along?
Can your warmness do wrong on these sandy beaches?

The caveman heard him say, “You will never see the light of day”
And he laughed quite intensely
You see, in the end, whatever is you defend there is nothing I can borrow from you

But we can always have some fun, huh? Ready?
Hey!
