FINAL LETTER

The Art of Burning Bridges

Whispering Words

Emotions & Memories is the 6th and final album from Starfire containing songs that were written and performed in 1987 and 1988.
Even though everyone was getting along and nothing was specifically said, they could tell that this would probably be the end.
This is reflected in the darker nature of most of the songs. Though not really a concept album, there are common themes of self-examination, longing, regret and loss throughout. New ideas were becoming less plentiful as well. The band seemed to be drifting apart, but ultimately it was the flooding of their basement rehearsal and recording space that provided the excuse to not continue after 10 years of being a band in some form.
They all went on to other musical ventures and there were a number of reunions from 2001-2008. As of this release in 2024, they are all doing well. Though spread across the country, they still keep in touch.
From the barn to the stage to the basement to the Studio.
The fire still burns and the stars shine brightly.

The first song I ever wrote, finally released

A Better World

MPH is an energetic song taking influence from 00s alternative bands like Interpol & Bloc Party. The lyrics deal with singer Conor’s experience of ADHD and trying to understand how his brain works, mainly focussing on overthinking and not being able to switch off with music being the only way to help. 
Brought to life by producer Lewis Johnson Kellett (Pale Blue Eyes), the song is driven by a rapid drum beat and bassline as the song develops around a central chord progression with catchy interlocking guitar melodies before crashing out into a slower reverb-soaked outro. MPH has been a staple of By Wednesday’s set for the past year, firmly cementing itself as the finale of the set that pumps the crowd up for one last dance. 
By Wednesday will be celebrating the release of MPH with a headline show at Manchester’s Yes Basement on Saturday 6th September, before then you can follow their updates on Instagram where you will find all the videos and photos from their tractor-themed shoot for MPH.

Support and peace for Ukrainian people, wish you get through the winter safely! World's nations must unite to help a sovereign state against violence and ruthless aggression.

Nancy is a sensitive girl, probably too sensitive...

Nancy says: It’s all yours and mine, all the birds in the the sky
Nancy says: All yours and mine
Nancy says, It’s there for you and me, every leave on every tree
Nancy says: For you and me
Nany says: Don’t you understand, all that breathes goes hand in hand
Nancy says: We belong in timberland

Nancy says: Don’t you hear the call
The universe knows it all
Nancy says she feels so small

Nancy cries: can you live with lies?
I’m amazed that I still try
Truth replaced by compromise

Why? Why?

Nancy says: This big mean world tries to beat Nancy girl
Nancy weeps she softly weeps
Nancy cries one more silver tear, she’s living in a world of fear
Nancy weeps she silently weeps

Nancy says: it’s the moon that lights my night, a little hope, a tiny light
Nancy says: so pure and bright

Then Nancy cries: See how Nancy flies, like a bird in the sky
Then Nancy says: Goodbye
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.

Nancy Says

Nancy Says (Remaster, with Ian Collins and joerxworx)

간절했던 내 모습도
머뭇거렸던 내 모습도

다 짊어질까봐 (바란건 아닌데 )
더 몰려올꺼야 ( 많지만 않기를 )
지나친 상황들
온전한 나의 조각들로

하루가 무겁게 다가오지 않게
숨겨진 사진들처럼 뜻밖에 풍경 처럼

다 받아들일께 (바랬던 것처럼)
더 많은 감각들 (많길 바랬듯이)
지나간 기억이
온전한 나의 조각들로

하루가 무겁게 다가오지 않게
숨겨진 사진들처럼 뜻밖에 사건처럼

닫혀진 너의 맘을 다 되짚어봐 널 기다린  모두를 마주할테니 기다리던 밤 지나치던 길 

퍼즐 (demo)

“Still Burn” ignites the rawest side of Bleak Amber. A slow-building storm of emotional alt-metal, drenched in gritty guitars, tense silence between the notes, and a voice that sounds like it survived the fire. Heavy, wounded, resilient — this track burns with the feeling of refusing to fade out.
