What The Fire Said: Prey

What The Fire Said

What The Fire Said is the portal for my own art and writing. It is necessarily a work in progress, and you are welcome to return anytime to see what has been added here.

In my header you will see both contemporary calibration dials and centuries-old symbols used in the practice of alchemy. My art tends to operate at the interface between such extremes: between our shared distant past and an unknown far future, between the realities of history and the at-times greater realities that lie over the threshold in the world of myth. At these extremes science and magic, myth and history turn into each other, become indistinguishable from each other – as in the far future they well might. ~ Hawkwood (David Bergen)

This track is another of my personal favourites, and my video for it reflects much of what I feel about Johan Edlund's lyrics. Love produces victims as surely as it generates happiness, and the line 'No love without a prey' reflects a more honest emotional reality than all the uncountable 'love me do'-style lyrics put together. The osprey I photographed at the museum where I used to work.
