Single Focus: Joni In The Moon

Single title? Woman On Fire

What’s the song about? It’s about secrets and betrayal, and reclaiming the freedom to express anger and sexuality as a woman, without retribution.

How long did it take to write/record? The song was originally written in one sitting, though it went through a few metamorphoses before we settled on the arrangement. The bulk of live recording we did in a day.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? The track is the third single from our existing debut release, Sorrow Trees. We released the record in Feb this year.

What was inspiring you during the song’s writing and recording? When I wrote it I had just left an abusive relationship and lyrically it’s pretty much just a compulsive soul-vomit. We built up layered vocals so the words and emotions could be the focus.

We’ll like this song if we like... Tacos.

Do you play it differently live? Yes, playing live changes it somewhat because the arrangement of sounds and instruments are slightly different, but we haven’t changed the structure at all.
