about

To me, I find it really important to write about my experiences as a kid. I guess I was rather average, but my parents made both my brother and I feel like princes. We didn’t have much, and we were aware of it. Upon going through some old photographs of my childhood, I found this image of my father holding my hand and my brother’s hand, walking towards a forest, in Coorg. That memory summarized my entire upbringing, sheltered, innocent, and ever so slightly mischievous. It brought this massive sense of nostalgia, where I felt I was falling through clouds, where I’d dream I was walking through what I thought was heaven, where I’d see my father. As happy as I was to see him, I knew it wasn’t permanent.

The song speaks of how my family has risen out of the ashes, and gone on to live our on lives, rebuilt after my fathers passing. I found that in many of my songs, I tend to try and incorporate a lot of technique and skill in terms of my playing. Whilst that exists here, this song was a challenge as I’d used it to focus more on my ability as a songwriter. I wanted to write a more complete song, my whole journey as a musician has been one of growth. This song feels like I’ve grown up.

lyrics

As the wolves begin
I have suffered more than you my friend
Enter wild fire
Beaches no longer covered in sand
Fall through this
I scream

Ooooh

Catch me
as I’m falling
Overhead and
Oooh x2

As the wild calls
Someone echoes the long lost within
Call your mother
Comfort no longer scares me in
Your shelter
I scream

Ooooh

Catch me
As I’m falling
Overhead an
Oooh x2

And the forest howls x4
