Story Behind The Song
The bass riff came to me in my head so I sang it into my phone. I then had a short jam session around the bass riff, added drums, cut the best parts of the riff out, then recorded drums, horns, hammond organ etc. The lyrics came to me while cycling. Sang those into my phone too and then came back home to cut the vocal.

Lyrics
Walk into the fire
Run into the sun
And when you pass me then you'll see what I've become
I'm desperate for an answer
How far has this bird flown
Away from summer, my head's a blur
Look at me on the horizon
Am I rising
Or am I fading away
This should be shining on
When light has gone
Who's ghost will save me
I beg for your opinion
Is distance your birdsong
Is Heaven the place you really belong
Look at me on the horizon
Am I rising or is the sky just falling down
We could be homeward bound
On holy ground
If only you would listen
