Daniel Isaiah - Javelin Fade
The creation of Only One Left (out November 28th) was book-ended by the saddest and happiest events in my life – I started writing the record during the last weeks of my mother’s life, and it was mastered the day before my wedding.
The album’s opening track, “Javelin Fade”, opens with the line “The Sirens are calling…”, referring to the creatures of Greek mythology who lured sailors with their enchanting voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. The Sirens also evoke the emergency alarms sounding as the narrator floats over the Earth as the sole witness to the aftermath of a nuclear disaster (“Rising in the fallout”).
