Hello friends.
I’m very proud to present ”Soul Burn”. It’s a reflection of my own inner roller coaster that tends to transport me between pretty dark places and complete and utter joy. I almost never experience the in between
It’s about how you often too easily think you’re doomed. It’s over! Total collapse coming. (Well I do at least). But mostly it’s just a bruise that will fade within days. Hours even. And It can easily be handled with some perspective.
Soul burn is a phrase Måns Mernsten came up with and when he sang the melody over that very simple, yet classic chord progression I knew we needed to write this song. I wrote the rest of the lyrics around that phrase and paired it with a verse part I just started on. It matched perfectly.
We finished and recorded it together on a late Wednesday night session in January. I played down drums and guitars and Måns recorded the piano and the bass. Later that week we finished it separately and it feels like we’re on the top of this weird super creative mountain for a brief moment now. We get to see it all. And we’re milking it. This is only the beginning.
