“Into The Fire" by Diamond Shake – A Song Feature

     “Into The Fire” includes an uncomplicated piano hook that stands alone in the intro and continues to play a significant role for almost two minutes, despite the force of the vocals and instruments that join the piano. It’s a testament to the position that complexity is not a requirement for elegance or power.

      Diamond Shake is the moniker of Matt Hitchens. Quoting his bio:

  One man band, from London to LA. I moved out to LA seven years ago to make a career in music, having started playing instruments when I was around eight years old. Over the last two and a half years, I have written, performed, produced, engineered and mixed every note of "From Method To Madness," an album about my issues with depression, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem.

Lyrics of “Into The Fire" by Diamond Shake

I led you straight down into my soul to save me,

Led you straight down into my soul,

Now you’re taking control,

Oh Lord, more than I know.

I let you take me out of the cold to warm me,

Let you take me out of the cold,

Now you’re taking control,

Oh Lord, more than I know.

As we go straight down into the fire (Repeat 4x]

As we go

I let you break me down to the bone to heal me,

Let you break me down to the bone,

Now you’re taking control,

Oh Lord, more than I know

Why won’t you take me out of the fire?

Why won’t you take me out of the fire?

Why won’t you let me heal from the burns that I earned,

Now that I’ve given everything you desire?

And I don’t think, I don’t think that I can ever stop,

So I guess, I guess, I guess I never will,

And I don’t think, I don’t think that I can ever stop,

So I guess, I guess, I guess I never will

Lost in nights that last so long,

Nights that last forever,

But the sickness we thrive from,

Keeps us sick together

I let you burn my heart just to save my skin,

I let you burn my heart to ashes,

Now you’ve taken control,

Oh Lord, more than I know

Why won’t you take me out of the fire?

Why won’t you take me out of the fire?

Why won’t you let me heal from the burns that I earned,

Now that I’ve given everything you desire?

And I don’t think, I don’t think that I can ever stop,

So I guess, I guess, I guess I never will,

And I don’t think, I don’t think that I can ever stop,

So I guess, I guess, I guess I never will

And I don’t think,

I don’t think that I can,

I don’t think that I don’t think that,

I don’t think that I can ever stop.
