“Light It Up”
From Rock Candy (2022)
Rock Candy was made with my good friend Jacob Bunton. We’re both real rockers at heart — we love anything riff-based and heavy. I wanted something where the riffs sounded like a bass and guitar playing at once. We jammed on the riff and came up with the stomping line that opens this song. We work really quickly; we did the whole album — at the rate of a song a day — in 12 days. “Light It Up” is about living your own life and stepping into your own power and feeling comfortable with that, as a lot of people don’t do that. People will run away from taking control, but that’s where the real power is. Negativity can be real loud, but when you step into your own power, that’s when you see things differently, you know?
