Song Production Info

"Sudden stirs" and "blazing intensity" were expressed in this song, and created a symbolic bond with me as I composed it.

Video Production Info

When a person's expression just becomes a blank, nature's (blazing flame) lights up their emotions dynamically, like in my case.
In the old days, a painter produces work thinking about the past, and sees it in the present and how it resides in this time from it's familiar existence back then.
I tried doing that this time.
