The first single released off of My Echo, Burn Too Bright was inspired by and dedicated to the late musician and producer Richard Swift, who died of complications from alcoholism in 2018 at aged 41.
The eyes of a child
Looked out of yr head
And the microphone smiled
When the light turned red
Everyone there wanted 2 hold U tight
But U looked so unconcerned
When U burned 2 bright
Burned too bright, bright, bright, bright, bright
Burned too bright, bright, bright, bright, bright
By the shrine U made in yr studio
In the selenium glade + the candles yellow
Who were you running from it was yourself all right
Maybe U burned a little 2 bright
I wonder if yr soul is still dispossessed
R U wandering R U rolling
Or have U found a new place 2 rest?
Burned too bright, bright, bright, bright, bright
Burned too bright, bright, bright, bright, bright
Burned too bright, bright, bright, bright, bright
Burned too bright, bright, bright, bright, bright
Burn Too Bright was written by Laura Veirs.
Burn Too Bright was produced by Tucker Martine.
Laura Veirs released Burn Too Bright on Thu Jul 30 2020.
