Lonely Fire 03:50
You’re a lonely fire Burning without a face to brighten And you’re just turning to ashes With no one to feed your flame You got used to silence Turned into stone by all the violence And time keeps flying And layers of dust just keep on piling High Keep on piling high Keep on piling hi-igh They keep on piling But you’re still shining You’re a lonely fire You’re a lonely fire From the highest mountain You took a fall but now you’re gliding Down down down to the valley Where all of the streams join in

Grow 04:37
Grow, we grow And we talk in the voices that move in our bones And we flow, we flow And we know it’s a matter of time before we go Someday our pain all our joy and our shame Leave the game All that we are is just dust from the stars Far, far away from home Grow, we grow As we walk down the valleys upon the fresh snow And we run, we run We run mile after mile searching for something more Someday our pain All our joy and our shame Leave the game Treasure and fame All the things that we gain None remain All that we give is all that will stay Everything else will be taken away We’ve all got a place and we’ve got a time We try to hang on but we’ll shoot into the night All that we are is just dust from the stars Far, far away from home And we’re on our way back home Grow, we grow And we look for an answer then learn to let go Someday our pain All our joy and our shame Leave the game Treasure and fame All the things that we gain None remain All that we give is all that will stay Everything else will be taken away We’ve all got a place and we’ve got a time We try to hang on but we’ll shoot into the night All that we are is just dust from the stars We’re all on our way back home And we know it’s a matter of time before we go

Indecision 04:02
On the edge I stare upon the fall Can’t turn round, my back’s against the wall All your friends tell me what to do But they don’t know, don’t know what I do One wrong turn is all you ever need Clasp your hands and make a desperate plea All your friends tell you what to see But they don’t know, don’t know what it’s like To be you But they’re never gonna be in your own mind They’re never gonna see with your own eyes Never gonna walk in your shoes Never gonna win or lose When each hour seems to last a day Paralyze and analyze away All your friends tell you what to say But they don’t know you’re out on the highway You’re out on the highway But they’re never gonna be in your own mind They’re never gonna see with your own eyes Never gonna walk in your shoes Never gonna win or lose Never gonna walk in your shoes Never gonna win or lose Never gonna have to choose Never gonna make the wrong moves It’s always up to you It’s always up to you You
4.
Get To You 04:36
Nothing seems to get to you Nothing ever gets to you I get heavier from every light I touch Everyone that I ache for I Hold dear Hold near But nothing ever gets to you I carry stones and bones And loads that don’t belong to me I walk on roads to great unknowns And take it all with me But nothing Nothing ever gets to you Simply standing there You push the world Under the mirror It’s easy for you to say goodbye And leave the past behind But I carry words and hurts Wounds under this skin of mine I’d give it all to be like you for just a single day And let nothing ever get to me
5.
Candle 02:55
Candle burn but burn slow I’ll guard your fire if your flame burns low Won’t let the wind blow your light out ‘Cause in the dark you are the only glow Candle burn but burn slow I’ll guard your fire if your flame burns low Don’t burn too fast, don’t you let go Candle burn but burn slow
6.
When I wake On a sunny day with no clouds in my head I’m gonna change the world When I lift The doubts that keep me stuck in my bed I’m gonna change the world And I’ll sunrise right over the hills And I’ll say God It was worth the wait In this long life there is so much to feel And you can easily get lost in it Lost in it When I walk And I ain’t just walking back to the start I’m gonna change the world When I speak And my words are coming straight from the heart I’m gonna change the world Then I’ll sunrise right over the hills Shine a light down on these busy streets In this long life there is so much to see And you can easily get lost in it Lost in it I’ve got faith That summertime will come my way soon And the birds are gonna sing me a tune And soon these days will come to an end When I lift the heavy clouds over my head Over my head Over my head I’m gonna change the world I’m gonna change it I’m gonna change it I’m gonna change it And I’ll sunrise right over the hills And I’ll say God It’s been worth the wait In this long life there is so much to do And you can easily get lost in it Yeah you can easily get lost in it Yeah you know I was so lost in it
7.
Where oh where Where is the wind That blew on these sails To take us this far in Where oh where Where is the road That winds from your door Goes far away Away Away from home ‘Cause I’ve been going down Down, down It just goes around I must have made a wrong turn somehow I could run a hundred miles I could sail ‘til the sunrise But I can’t remember the place I’m trying to find Where oh where Where are the signs That made us decide Gave us the will And the light To carry on ‘Cause I’ve been going down Down, down It just goes around I must have made a wrong turn somehow I could run a hundred miles I could sail until the sunrise But I can’t remember the place I’m trying to find Someday, they say I’ll be where I have to be But I’m still lost at sea The last time I looked Straight was the path I always took But now it seems crooked And I’ve…. I’ve been going down Down, down It just goes around I must have made a wrong turn somehow I could run a hundred miles I could sail ‘til the sunrise And if it seems I’m out of luck Maybe this is where I’m supposed to be And someday it’ll all make sense to me Oh I guess we’ll see
8.
How can the sun appear to be Gone without a trace Lost my ladder under the ice Is someone gonna rescue me? I’m gonna be fine I said I’m gonna be fine Oh, what’s it gonna be? When the waves come to swallow me? I’m gonna be fine I used to own a catapult I’d load the spring and somersault And the enemies of my land Would tremble in their towers When the ropes broke I hit the ground hard And the ice began to crack Broken bones and a shattered home I’m gonna be fine, I said I’m gonna be fine Oh what’s it gonna be, When the waves Come to swallow me? Will I make it out of here alive I drew my sword to slay the beast But I could find no enemy I held my shield up to defend But every blow came in Then I tried to retaliate But no one else was there but me We battled on throughout the night But none was there to see I’m gonna be fine Yeah I’m gonna be fine I’m gonna be fine Yes I’m gonna be fine Oh what’s it gonna be When the waves Come to swallow me Will I make it out alive
9.
Peace Talks 04:25
Why do I feel this way tonight? There’s too many, many sides I can’t reconcile. I’m pressing for peace talks in my mind I’m pressing for peace talks in my mind I’m pressing for peace talks in my mind Why do I feel this way tonight? Can I weave something out of this tangled, tangled mess? Simple things bury me under Under the ground Where you can’t hear a sound You can’t hear a sound

about

Gabriel Kazz’s debut album, “Lonely Fire”, springs from a 5 year sojourn in London as an expat music student, from the age of 25 to 30. A time of great inspiration, and also isolation: hence “Lonely Fire”. The first line of the title track sums it all up: “You’re a Lonely Fire / Burning without a face to brighten”. We’ve all been, are, or will be “Lonely Fires” at some point in our lives. At its core, Gabriel Kazz’s new album is about our own inner power, our capacity to create, love and realise our purpose in life. Our fire may be buried under a thick layer of dust and debris, under heaps of past regrets and future worries. But that fire is always there, and our life should be spent creating the conditions for it to shine, for it is our gift to the world.

Kazz gracefully blends folk, alt-rock, downtempo and chamber pop, during the near 40 minutes of runtime. Where this album truly shines is in the dynamics: the opening title track is a head-bopping folktronica tune, fresh-sounding yet with hints of 80’s nostalgia. Next comes the beautiful melodies and ringing open tuned guitars in “Grow” (a heartfelt homage to his grandfather). From the captivating fingerstyle guitar, haunting synths and epic string arrangement on Indecision, we arrive at the intimate, guitar driven folk grooves in “Get To You” and “Candle”. At half time we get “Change The World”, an upbeat surf-rock tune that feels like a clear in the middle of the forest (or a sunny day in London); a welcome break in the emotional barrage that is the rest of the album. “Where Is The Wind” is the “rootsiest” song in the album, with a classic country folk sound, yet with a reggae twist. When we seem to have landed home, Kazz shifts genres again and hits us with the dark and heavy stoner/grunge anthem “I’m Gonna Be Fine”, featuring many time signature changes, distorted guitars and intense vocals. After the storm comes the calm with the closing track, Peace Talks. A mellow mish-mash of open tuned guitars over a trip-hop beat, creating a calm trance-like atmosphere which slowly fades away, bringing the album to a satisfying close.
