Behind the Song - This Flame (Melt With You)

During the recent coverage of the California wildfires, I read about two people who were found burned beyond recognition trying to escape. I’ve been sick to my stomach imagining what it might have been like to lose everything, even your life. I can’t stop picturing myself in a car with my wife in the same situation. What would I even say, knowing I was unable to keep her safe? My heart bleeds for all the families suffering. I sat down to write this song, and ended up incorporating a bit of the Modern English song "Melt With You" into the chorus. 
Lyrics:

​fire’s coming round the mountain, babe, 
start running for the car 
no time for family photo albums, records, or guitars 
freeewheelin’ dylan was my savior but I cannot return the favor 
i know them all my heart anyways 
they’ll be blowin’ in the wind after the blaze 

you’re the only thing that i refuse to lose 
even driving toward death’s door, you’re my refuge 
when the world stops burning, this flame will continue 
and i’ll melt with you 


smoke’s clouding up our eyes, babe, open your ears and try to hear me 
they may not recognize our bodies but I’ve memorized your spirit 
leaving life is really scary but skin and bones are temporary 
my love for you’s the only truth that stays 
it will be blowin’ in the wind after the blaze 


you’re the only thing that i refuse to lose 
even driving toward death’s door, you’re my refuge 
when the world stops burning, this flame will continue 
and i’ll melt with you ​​
