Liner Notes

This year, my #firstfruits is to myself. May I honor my own inner power.

Lyrics

I am a fire
I am a light
I am inviolable
And I’m bright

I am a spirit
I cannot die
No one can change
Who I am inside

I am a forest
I am the trees
Be still and listen
Listen for me

I will go dormant
In winter quiet
Don’t use me up
Or we will both die

Na na na na na na

I am a forest
I am a fire
Each year I burn
And come back alive

I am a spirit
I cannot die
No one can change
Who I am inside

I am a fire
I am a light
I am inviolable
And I’m bright

I am a forest
I am the trees
Be still and listen
Listen to me

Na na na na na na

Love the snaps, pairs perfectly with the chanting undertone, and really drives the song. Love the theme as well, which also matches the primal, esoteric, feel of the song, and they both work with each other to elevate each other, which fits the theme of being uplifted. So a lot going on here that all plays well together and becomes more than the sum of it's parts. Like it all.

"I am a spirit
I cannot die" is a special kind of line, that one will stay with me.

ASMR tingles activated! This is wonderful. Powerful message delivered with such gentle care. I love the dedication to your own divinity.

This takes me back to the Albion Fayres and the Anti-Nuclear Peace Camps of my youth. Mass chanting has a power difficult to describe.

I loved this so much. What beautiful sentiments. I was particularly moved by the line "I am a spirit I cannot die." I also really love the rhythm and how it feels earthy and primal. Love the tone of your voice through the whole song, and especially the "na na nas" ! Cheers!

@ryuu 2w

The body percussion really makes this come alive. Beautiful ritual feeling here.

@karan 2w

A really spellbinding song, and the vocals are great! Love it!

@wurzelfrau 3w

Really beautiful, i especially love "no one can change who I am inside". Well done.

@willow1 3w

Love the Tom’s Diner vibes. Glad to see you’re back!

@tawny249 3w

Great beat here, I like the chanting quality to it. Your voice has that little lilt that makes listeners wait for it to keep coming back. Neat percussion, too.

@mtmelodie 3w

Sounds great .. really nice

@frey 3w

So many dimensions created using just your voice - and a few simple effects!!

@yam655 3w

This is lovely. Nicely done. And it's always good to honor your inner self. 💚

@git_funky 3w

this is really soothing! i like the little exhale sound effects being used as percussion, i may have to give that a try sometime! 😄

@alyxanderjames 3w

Hell yeah! I love this so much, it's so rich and complex without being overdone. Really beautiful!

Oooooh this is so good. Trancey, hypnotic, beautiful, like a swirling vortex. Love the simplicity of the design and the complex feelings it gives me. "Don't use me up/Or we will both die" hit me hard. Truly impressive work, and now it's stuck in my head.
