Fireflight Answers YOUR Questions

joellekool: What exactly does the candle represent in all of your promo pictures?



Fireflight: We kind of leave it up to interpretation for each person. For Dawn, personally, it represents the message of God's love. The imagery of the CD is very dark looking. Yes, we're in the middle of all this darkness, but we're victorious, so we've got something to share.



joellekool: How is Dawn's voice?



Fireflight: It is doing very good. I'm still having to stay quiet on show days, but other than that, it's been going very well.



YouAreLoved: So, I've heard the story a few times about how you all got your name, but I was wondering if you all watched the original “Transformers,” and if so, maybe subconsciously you all came up with it because of the Fireflight autobot?



Fireflight: I think it might've osmossed into my brain when I was a kid.



relient15: First off, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your music, and your lyrics really deal with some of the issues people face. My question for you is: How do you feel your music sets you apart from the rest of the Christian bands in either the mainstream or the Christian market?



Fireflight: Well, we haven't really spent a lot of time thinking about how we're different. We write about what we're passionate about.



singersmartguy17: Awesome job on Unbreakable guys! That album rocks! Anyways, so what is the meaning of "So Help Me God"? The lyrics are quite vague as to what the song is talking about.



Fireflight: It's about being in a relationship that's bad for you, but you're addicted to it. Those things are so powerful sometimes, but you can't break free. It's about crying out to God to help you break free.



iamunbreakable: Of course I’m a big fan, and my question is: The sound on this record sounds much different than Healing of Harms itself. There isn't much screaming and crunchin’ guitars, but don't get me wrong, I love the album; it’s awesome stuff. Was there a reason that you went in this direction?



Fireflight: We didn't mean to make it sound different. It's kinda like your old clothes not fitting anymore. We didn't do it on purpose. Things just change. The first record was who we were for the last five years, and this one is who we are now.



LJ17: What bands inspire you? Any favorite Christian bands/artists? Who would you like to tour with?



Fireflight: Skillet. Foo Fighters. Saosin. Steve Tyler from Aerosmith. We want to tour with Skillet. That's our dream to tour with Skillet. Dawn's favorite Christian band is Wavorly.



TaylorErin667: If you could do a duet with anyone who would it be and why?



Fireflight: I would go exploring with Wavorly.
