Liking the Alannah Myles Black Velvet styley intro to this excellent track. Superb guitaring. Karens vocals are always fab-u-lous!

Listening to Karen's moody/sweet vocals and Johan's guitars is like pulling on an old comfy pair of slippers,like coming home. Great work you two,a brill track.

Very nice arrangement. The drums are just great. I like the mood on this track.

You’re drowning
Heart’s pounding
Fear’s mounting
Pushed, you will fall
Fate sent me
Step gently
I’ll extend a hand for you to hold

Today’s the day for a leap of faith 
I’ll catch your fall
Don’t be afraid to break the chains
Don’t be afraid at all

The past haunts you
Fear taunts you
Life’s cost a price
That you can’t pay
Put one chip then two down when
You find the right game to play

Today’s the day for a leap of faith 
I’ll catch your fall
Don’t be afraid to break the chains
Don’t be afraid at all

The suitcase in the hall
A life not lived at all
Open up that door
Let your life unfold

Today’s the day for a leap of faith 
I’ll catch your fall
Don’t be afraid to break the chains
Don’t be afraid at all

Break The Chains

Ashes for Dreams is the Irish/Swedish band project of Johan Alm (https://soundcloud.com/jambrains) and Karen O’Mahony (https://soundcloud.com/monnodb).

Both coming from completely different cultures and musical backgrounds - incorporating between them classical, traditional, folk and rock - they had each previously produced solo work vastly different to the other’s. 

Johan’s style is heavy rock with a unique and gritty vocal style and guitar work admired and envied by many. Karen’s natural home is more folk, which to their surprise works beautifully in a heavy rock setting. Together, they are a magical combination, particularly when they duet - their distinctive voices blending as if made for each other!
