kphit5670 I’m so glad YouTube randomly played “So Human Of You” back in 2020. I went into a Shireen rabbit hole and fell deeply in love with every single song I found. I was unaware of these songs through Bandcamp until early this morning and immediately bought and downloaded all of them.
Thank you SO much for your beautiful, powerful, AMAZING music. Hopefully I get to see you perform live one day in the states. I didn’t even realize you came to Pittsburgh PA last year until recently. Sad I missed that. Favorite track: Taste The Flames - Quarantine Edition.

were-were-wolfy I love how the voice and instruments work together, while each have their own distinctive place. A good idea, well put together.

lyrics

I will sing of the stars
in the darkest skies
trace the shape of the moon
with my bleeding tongue
as I taste the flames of the sun

I shall shape the virgin earth
with my dirtiest words
cradle flower buds in the palms
of my outstretched hands
as its vines will creep over land

we shall let the waters flow
we will let the trees grow
and even the gods will know
what is their place

will you hum along with me
when I sing to the storm
trace their silver lining
and leave nothing untold
as i sing the song of this world

music makes the stars shine
of nightly boasting beaming pride
they even make the gods cry
of beauty and grace

I will sing of the stars
in the darkest skies
trace the shape of the moon
with my bleeding tongue
as I taste the flames of the sun
