about
This Hanukkah I was commissioned by The Synagogue | Congregation B'nai Emunah | Tulsa, OK, to write a new song for the season. I sat and tried to think about what pieces of the holiday moved me. It's probably not surprising that I kept coming back to the image of a candle. I couldn't shake the idea that if we all lived a little more like candles - giving of ourselves as if it didn't diminish our wealth, and taking only the light we need and returning it in kind - this world might look a little bit brighter.
I hope you enjoy this new song for the season "More Like A Candle." A huge shoutout to Zach Singer for playing bass, Joseph Chudyk for recording all percussion and mixing the song, and B'nai Emunah for inspiring me to write. Wishing all of you a bright and beautiful Hanukkah.
lyrics
There's a funny thing
that happens when you bring
two candles together
From a single light
do the both ignite
and shine all the better
They give what they have
and expect nothing back
Brighter for having given their light away
I wanna be...
A little more like a candle
A little less like a flame
Take only what I can handle
and then give it away
Chase away all the shadows
and turn night into day
A little more like a candle
A little less like a flame, a little less like a flame
Fire can keep you warm
through a storm
or burn down a forest in a night
But a candle will burn,
live it's life and return
to ash and to dust
It does what it must, you see
I wanna be...
