Passafire is a 4-piece band hailing from Savannah, GA whose brand of progressive reggae both embraces and challenges the genre's boundaries. Their outstanding new album, Everyone on Everynight, was released today and includes this week's Featured Track, "Here In Front of Me."

"Here In Front of Me"

Lyric Excerpt: "Sun shines down on the mountain side / Lonely cloud that blocks the light / Shadow cast on the face of the range / In the shape of a burning flame / If it's a sign please let me know..."

Ted Bowne [Vocals/Guitar]: "The lyrics were inspired by an experience I had while riding in the van somewhere in the Southwest. I saw a shadow of a cloud on the side of a mountain that resembled our logo and wanted to take a picture, but I didn't have any battery left in my camera and my phone was fucking up." (Source)

Adam Willis [Keyboards]: "We are a people who think about the signs and notice things. I feel like I'm destined to [be making music] and the signs are there." (from RockOm's interview with Passafire, out this Friday, 9/18)

BONUS TRACK: "Prelectricity"

Lyric Excerpt: "Before the invention of the electric light / Stars were visible to everyone on every night / Without prevention, whether it's wrong or right / They disappeared in the night sky when the lights got bright..."

Adam Willis [Keyboards]: "The way we live now in cities we're so far removed from the natural world we kind of forget about it... To us as a band it's really important to reconnect."
