Warm Embers, Bright Flames (see demo 317090)
by @kahlo2013
Liner Notes
Please listen to the wonderful song @johncrossman created from these lyrics - bring marshmallows:
https://write.fawm.org/songs/317090
My non-FAWM friend, Casey, sent me a piece of a lyric to run with … she wrote
“ Warm embers, bright flames, tomorrow’s memories
I can’t think of another phrase but I love campfires, fireplaces, or one that captures the crackling sound”
I asked her if she wanted to sing it, if she wanted me to create an AI demo, or if she wanted me to beg for a collaboration by a real musician. She said:
“I prefer a real person” and she made it clear it wasn’t her.
So this is my plea for a collaborator….
Lyrics
V1 singing waves crackling wood campfire glow times understood
dancing sparks shooting stars gold moonbeams on new memoirs
yours, mine and ours….
C warm embers bright flames tomorrow’s memories yesterday’s remains
warm embers bright flames tomorrow’s reveries yesterday’s todays
V2 swaying limbs rustling reeds blurred shadows poignant dreams
knowing looks giving grace tender times this heart space
moments embraced
C warm embers bright flames tomorrow’s memories yesterday’s remains
warm embers bright flames tomorrow’s reveries yesterday’s todays
B holding fast to what we know open to letting go hoping to grow
C warm embers bright flames tomorrow’s memories yesterday’s remains
warm embers bright flames tomorrow’s reveries yesterday’s todays

Ahhhh memories of campfires in the moonlight come to mind. Beautiful! Too bad I'm not a real musician ~ I hear a waltz!

This feels like a very personal moment in time between two people. The visuals are lovely. I hope you find the music you need.

The words are so focused, rhythmic, and evocative that this probably works as a chant of the magical kind — and that would still be true with music added. That is, you could manifest things by focusing into the words. It’s a very strong connection to the essence of fire energy.
