There’s forest fire off in the hills again
Always reminds me of the night we spent on the river’s edge 
For hours standing hand in hand

To chicken shit to just go dive right in
To scared to turn away 
And face the fate that awaits us both back on land

A forest fire has a smell to it
A certain sweetness that misleads us 
To believe that everything’s well again

This summer’s sweltering
The kind of heat you feel inside your feet
Radiating upward from the earth within

If I was a smarter man
I’d a never gave you momma’s wedding ring
I would’ve went ahead and pawned the thing

Skipped town, and never called again
But the brain never listens
To the songs that the heart’ll sing

I ain’t no Christian, that was Momma’s thing
I don’t know how to pray, 
And if I did, I’m not too sure he’s listening.

To me, it’s whispering
I don’t know 
Maybe there IS some fucking magic in giving language to those hidden things?

Who are we kidding kid?
We were just born into this
And what the hell would make us think that we were any different?

Your Daddy did the same, 
My Pops did it too
And they came to same spot asking that river for some clues

And all they got was wet shoes
And they gave birth to me and you
So tell me darling, what they hell are we supposed to do?

We dance alone together
Held back by the fear that one day
We might get so close, we’ll never be strong enough to separate

She had this dream that’s clever
We could fold time and space
I like you.  You like me.  
Why are we so afraid?
Why are we so afraid?
Why are we so afraid?
Why are we so afraid?
Why are we so afraid?
Why are we so afraid?
Why are we so afraid?

Forest Fire

On the first episode of Start Today co-hosts Mark Brickey and Biggie breakdown the 1989 Gorilla Biscuits track “Start Today” and go line by line trying to fully understand the songs greater meaning and influences that it had on their lives. However, before we get to breaking down the walls of this inspiration, first Mark provides a rich audio documentary explaining the influences, origin and history of the short lived New York Hard Core super group the Gorilla Biscuits. &nbsp; Talking Points - Controlling your temper, not blowing up like you used to and realizing work isn’t worth getting mad over. - Understanding that you’re never too old to hangout and the importance of finding your tribe. - Location, location, location, where you are plays a huge part in how you play. - Staying one step ahead of your current career and always planning for the next big thing. - Not just working hard, but working hard toward a focused life plan. - Procrastinating solves nothing, only creates more work. - There is no seniority in the arts, which leaves zero room for laziness. - The importance of movement, keeping moving to keep surviving. - Trusting your gut, you always know what’s right. - Put in the hours, it will always show in the work. - The importance of saying sorry face to face. - Time is your enemy, friend and greatest love.  Circle of Trust Mark talks about his lessons learned from both the song Start Today and the creating the first podcast episode. As well as plays audio that didn’t make the final public cut.
