This is a slinky little blues built around the title hook ‘Burnt Matches, Old Flames’. A cautionary tale about rekindling old love leaving you more lonely than before. Acoustic guitars, brushed drums and a whispered chorus.

Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames
They’re two things I can’t explain
Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames 

You play with matches  
You're gonna get burnt 
You fool with old flames  
You're gonna get hurt
But you know, they’re just the same  
They’re just burnt matches and old flames

Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames
Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames
 
Some people put their matches  
Back into the box  
Some chase their old flames  
Like they’re hunting a fox 
But to me, they’re just the same 
They’re just burnt matches and old flames

Don’t play with matches  
You’re sure to start a fire  
You’re bound to get burnt 
 Re-igniting past desires
But you know, they’re just the same  
They’re just burnt matches and old flames

Now I beg please hear me  
And heed this tale of woe 
It happened on a lonely night  
When my heart was hanging low

I know the path to trouble 
It’s a well worn track 
I knew right where it lead  
And I should’ve double back

But I followed my footsteps  
I followed my footsteps 
 I followed my footsteps 
I followed my footsteps
I followed my footsteps 
I followed my footsteps   
And guess right where they led?

I found my way to her front door 
I’ve never craved anything this much before 
It was warm in her arms 
It was hot through the night  
But I’ve never been more lonely in my life

Some fires burn slowly 
Some are hard to put out 
Some will consume you  
But do not have a doubt
Wo-oh-yeah

Some fires burn slowly 
Some are hard to put out 
Some will consume you  
But do not have a doubt 
Once it’s been struck 
There’s no use in laying blame 
They’re just burnt matches and old flames

Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames
Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames

Burnt Matches, Old Flames

Illumination – Hope To God

In the mid-1990s, two restless explorers of sound—Nicholas Sillitoe and Per Martinsen—came together as Illumination, a project that blurred the boundaries between studio precision and live improvisation. Their language was electronica, but one spoken with lo-fi grit, hi-fi clarity, and a deep trust in the energy of machines and the spontaneity of performance.

Released in 1995 on their +47 label, Hope To God arrived first as a 12″ single with raw, driving versions from Martinsen and a collaborative Istigkeit mix. Soon after, it re-emerged in the UK as a double 12″ and CD-EP, now expanded with atmospheric re-interpretations from kindred spirits, most notably Biosphere’s glacial remix.

The track became a touchstone in the Norwegian underground: hypnotic, searching, carried by layers of analog warmth and vocal fragments that felt half-remembered, half-divine. It embodied Illumination’s ethos—music that could be both a club weapon and a private prayer.

Decades on, Hope To God still resonates as more than a track: it is a moment in time, a reminder of a scene inventing itself, and a plea whispered through circuits that the future might yet hold light.
