Main Review
Reminiscent of Evanescence, Fireflight burst on the scene with 'The Healing of Harms'. Straight out of
Orlando, Florida. Fireflight features Dawn Richardson on lead vocals, Wendy Drennen on bass, Glenn
Drennen on guitar, Justin Cox on guitar and background vocals and Phee Shorb on drums.
The first song featured on the album titled "Serenity" speaks of a life lived away from God and the pain
caused by it, calling the person back to relationship and trust with God. “The light behind your eyes tells
me that you've cried / Sometime tonight I offer down my hand / But without your plans you cannot hide”.
Another amazing song on this album is titled "You Decide" (which features guest vocals by Day of Fire's
Josh Brown), it echoes the theme of healing and having the wrong views of God, “Every day you hold on
to your lonely broken heart / It’s tearing you apart / God is calling out to you just let healing start / Will you
open up and let Him in?”. "Action" is the last song on the album that’s title says it all. It is a call to action
to the church to step it up and truly be the body of Christ. Its hard-hitting sounds matched with powerful
and thoughtful lyrics make this track a favorite.
Closing Thoughts
I would recommend this album to any rock fans. It brings something new with a much-needed message.
The album seems to be geared more towards Christians but has an appeal to secular audiences as
well. If you’re from the Orlando area you can check out ‘Fireflight’ at one of there many local shows. For a
complete concert list and a sampling of their album you can check out their myspace at www.myspace.
