“After having worked on a more laid back version of “The Delicate Balance Of All Things”, Michael once again kindly invited me to sing on his next all female singers EP and ever so happily and humbly I said yes!
When sent the music for what later would become “Open Wound Heart”, Michael said he would send me other options if I wasn't so keen on this one. Oh my... was I in for the biggest treat?! I really could not believe my ears... It was the most beautiful piece of music I could've ever imagined myself singing. I loved it so much that it took me ages to gather the courage to face the beast and start working on it. Nothing seemed good enough to match up that level of beauty. I didn't like anything I was coming up with. So I took yet another break from it and continued working on the album I am currently recording with Wayne. Days later, on a gorgeous afternoon, I was watching the sunset (my favourite time of day for it's magical and ephemeral qualities) over the mountains in the countryside where we live when the opening line came to me. That same evening I began humming along and writing the lyrics. So all my vulnerability, the fear of rejection, the incapacity of controlling everything and finally allowing myself to let go of all of that was transposed into this love song. Michael's haunting and dramatic guitars set the dream like bed in which I laid and opened up my heart. I pre recorded layers and layers of vocals and harmonies onto my laptop and when it was time, I asked Wayne to set me up in the control room in our home studio so I could record myself and take my time to work out all the backing vocal parts. Both Michaels, Ciravolo and Rozon have done such an amazing work mixing the track and I couldn't be more proud of what we've created! Plus hearing the remixes done by the legendary John Fryer, super creative Julian Shah-Tayler and the almighty Tim Palmer have brought tears to my eyes and astonishment to my soul. I am eternally thankful to Michael, Tish, Rozon and everyone involved in the making of this project and I hope it connects to you in some way” … Much love xxx Cinthya Hussey
lyrics
Sunset sets her senses on fire
While Gods and Demons rally to conspire
Screaming scarlet scars
Howling unclad under the stars
An incandescent soul
Plowing on glowing in an ice cold world
Deep fires still burn , will her fortune turn?
She’s come from where hearts gone holed
(Come on, overcome my boundaries)
You’re a second chance bestowed upon her
(Come on, overcome my boundaries)
Your openness juxtaposed
(Are you all her dreams made flesh)
With her desires undisclosed
She stares and blinks in morse code
Is there healing for an open wound heart
Perfect target for the archangel’s dart
Will you break my fall
And kiss me against the wall
Sunset sets her senses on fire
She’s lured into flying higher
She’s laid where roses bloomed
(taking memories)
Now all that’s left are the splinters in her wounds

The sound of Iceland at night. Cold and gloomy but with a danceable pulse. Need to make a full visit someday. Fun fact: IcelandAir had their albums on the flight music selection. heavenorli

I needed some Goth, and here it was. It was made in 2014, but could just as easily come to us from 1984. A noble and windswept musical ambassador from a dark and cloudy land. zzzptm
