🍯 “Glow” by Orion Redwolf now available!! 🌕
First inspired by a big book of the original Grimm’s Fairy Tales I read at 11 or 12 during my childhood obsession with story building in fantasy and fairy tales, “Glow” is a whole sonic world. In a couple of the stories, the main characters traverse a magical forest with trees made first of Silver, then Gold and finally of Gemstones before reaching their enchanted destination. “Glow’ embodies walking through a magical land highlighting the beautiful elements of the world on the edges of your perception.
Music has always been my way of connecting with the world and most people I know stem from music in some context or the other. It makes sense that extending that into the production would feel great! “Glow” is special in that it had a community around the creation; Matt's influence on the sonics and Elie’s influences on the lyrics not to mention all the wonderful friends and bandmates I’ve played it! When I first came up with the riff that ultimately would become “Glow” in my apartment in Minneapolis, I had no idea the journey it would take to reach release!Â

The night was young,
The day was long
The sun she hung like honey in the eye
The hills they hide the scarlets in the sky
Cool water rush
Warm forest hush
The moon she glow down to earth below
The shadows move and dance tip toe
Don’t you wonder, wonder it holds
Wonder what the dark, it holds
I feel it rise as I’m walking down the road
I feel their eyes saying what’s in my soul
The knights they stand all gathered in their might
The trees they stand, all covered in the light
And the gems hang low
And the gems hang low
And the gems hang low
And the gems hang low
Don’t you wonder, wonder what it holds
I wonder what the light, it holds
Mm, mm, mm ,mm
I feel it rise as I’m walking down the road
I feel their eyes saying what’s in your soul
The sun she hung like honey in the eye
The moon she glow down to earth belowÂ
The trees they stand all covered in the light
And the gems hang low
And the gems hang low
And the gems hang low
And the gems hang low
And the gems hang low
