I burn 400 degrees in a gasoline sea.

dorky girl gives herself a moniker, pretends to sing and play guitar, makes some songs, makes a fool of herself. it's about love. seriously. she does this for the love.

Story behind the song

since moving here I've felt an unrelenting connection with the south. this is home, this is who I am.

Lyrics

I'm in love I'm in love with the wind
everyone who came is going back again 
now that summertime stands on our skin
and nobody wants to breathe it in

I will obviate my past heart and claim
I'm a southerner now I've changed my faith
where my god once was autumnal greys
now manifests in the warm rain and rays

and I will rise and I will roll
I've been baptized down by the orange groves
and I will rise and I will roll
I'll drink the skies their blue eternal

behind this land I will stand with pride
while shouldering off my yankee hide
my reverence is dixie dyed
by sugarcane and old citrus rinds
