Backstory:
Firsthand Volcano was born from the ashes of a high school friendship in the suburbs of Seattle, Washington. The band consists of four members; lead vocalist and guitarist Jake Vincent, drummer Scott Hensley, bassist Taylor “TJ” Jordan, and keyboardist Casey Bell. They were all part of the school choir and shared a common passion for music. During their senior year, they decided to put their musical talents to good use and started jamming in Jake’s garage. They were inspired by the raw, unfiltered energy of volcanic eruptions, hence named themselves ‘Firsthand Volcano’ to symbolize their burning desire to bring something fresh and explosive to the music scene.

Title:
“Embers of the Heart”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Smoky whispers on this [C] lonely night,
[D] Memories flicker in the [Em] dying light.
[G] Traces of you in every [C] corner of my mind,
[D] Lost in the embers, can’t [Em] leave it all behind.
(Chorus)
[G] We were just like that [D] firsthand volcano,
[Em] Burning, yearning, [C] ready to explode.
[G] Now all I’ve got are these [D] ashes and echoes,
[Em] Embers of the heart that [C] once glowed.
(Verse 2)
[G] I still feel the heat in your [C] lingering touch,
[D] Your voice, the melody I [Em] miss so much.
[G] We danced on the edge, lost in [C] time’s flow,
[D] Now all that’s left are the [Em] embers in the snow.
(Chorus)
[G] We were just like that [D] firsthand volcano,
[Em] Burning, yearning, [C] ready to explode.
[G] Now all I’ve got are these [D] ashes and echoes,
[Em] Embers of the heart that [C] once glowed.
(Outro)
[G] Embers of the heart, [D] remnants of the show,
[Em] Our love story, like a [C] firsthand volcano.
