Your Fire Must Dance Again
“Your Fire Must Dance Again” is the second single from Homesickness’ upcoming album, “Blood Rush, Tempest Oceans”. A musical piece of naked intimacy and fearless emotional honesty, Junge describes the song as ‘a letter of apology and love’, and as ‘reflecting on a time of blindness caused by stubbornness, the realisation of having choked out a beautiful light that once was.’ Floating with free-flowing ease and a gorgeous lightness, Homesickness blurs the lines between folk, rock and jazz using acoustic guitar, electric bass, piano, violin, mellotron and choir in this chamber-folk setting inspired by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Bill Callahan, Ryley Walker and Tindersticks. Because everything was falling apart. Because everything was coming together.
Stream Homesickness
With a deep open tuning on a soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar, exploratory jazz-inspirered fretless-bass, lush atmospheric synth-soundscapes and analog flimsy tape noise, “Breaking Eyes, Aching Smiles” was written in the search for acceptance; of finding peace and strength in newly-found solitude, or in Junges words “by starring into the cold bright sun, by carrying my heart unshielded, by observing its shadow”.
LYRICS
My hands awoke by the window
I had a vision
You stood by my side
All pale – dressed in the light
We watched our hearts hung upon the golden wire
And your so name was sung
By the nighingale choir
I cried
My friend,
My sister,
My lover.
When will i see you again
In the gloom of confusion
In the fume of disillusion
I sing to our past
The one i thought would ever last
I have brung a spell upon myself
Born and bound
Bound by the lake
All stale – in the skin that I found
I watched your fire dance and slowly suffocate
And so your name was sung
By the nighingale choir
I apologize
My friend,
My sister,
My lover.
Your fire must dance again
Your fire must dance again
Your fire must dance again
