Hei'An - "embers" (Live at EastWest Studios)

Behold, the second single from our upcoming live EP "Live at EastWest Studios", which will be released on October 6th 2023 and will be available on vinyl as well! 🦋

Here's what Matic had to say about the track:

"This song, while it wasn’t released as a single during the 'imago' campaign, has proven to be a favorite for many people we showed it to ahead of the album's release, and now after we’ve done some shows in Europe, and even some in the US (well, on international waters, to be exact, but departing from and to the US), the track continues to be very well received by both audiences that do and don’t know us. Plus, it’s the only track on the album that has a guitar solo, so we wanted for Matevž, our guitarist, to have the opportunity to shine during these EastWest Sessions and be able to play a solo live, and we all agree the solo he played was absolutely out of this world, so including this song in these sessions was definitely the right choice."

LYRICS:

Gone when I wanted to stay
Down with the embers I lay

In my snakepit, bathing in venomous bites
Breathing ashes of delight’s funeral rites

Done and undone
Blacked out the sun

Dance with me
Burn for me

Broken spirit
Severed skin
Waves of havoc from within
Much more painful
Much more real
Than the embers where I lay

Dance with me
Burn for me

Broken spirit
Severed skin
Waves of havoc from within
Much more painful
Much more real
Than the embers where I lay

Broken spirit
Severed skin
Waves of havoc from within
Much more painful
Much more real
Than the embers where I lay

Oh!
