Out today - one of the most magical songs I've been lucky enough to be part of creating! This EP entitled Firefly features a real secret message in morse code woven into this opening track, Dots and Dashes, and in one of the middle transitional tracks, Rhymes and Riddles.
Listen to the whole thing here!
And if you can decipher the secret code, send me an email for a special prize: anastacemusic@gmail.com - I'm also happy to send you the audio of the morse code alone if you really want to try - just let me know ✨
The inspiration behind this song is that fireflies are such a tiny, tiny helpless creature in this giant world, and yet they shine in their little corner, lightening the world around them for the short time they're there, not unlike us in the grand scheme of things. Now matter how dark and scary the world is, they shine with their little messages of [perhaps morse code?!] and remind us there just might be something bigger out there, maybe...
Happy decoding!

I'd like to credit the fireflies of my childhood for the morse code in track 1 and 4, and thank my dad for driving me out to the valleys to see them on those summer nights!
Lyrics:
Every day feels a little bit colder and the sun’s turning into shade
Looks like the dark side’s winning again and the bad guys’ve got it made
Nothing but bad news and nothing’s going right
But I’ll be just fine, I’ll be up here shining like a thousand satellites
I’m gonna glow
Like a firefly
A little spark in big big world
Gonna glow
Like a firefly
Like a firefly
Watch my dots and dashes and little green flashes, cause I got something to say
When there’s nothing but shadows it’s a big big battle but you know I’m not afraid
There’s something bigger out there, believe it or you don’t
But I’ll be sending out signals in rhymes and riddles, ‘cause you know we’re not alone
[Repeat Chorus]
Something bigger, something bigger out there
Bigger than you and me
Something bigger, something bigger out there
Bigger than we can see
Something bigger, something bigger out there
Bigger than you and me
Something bigger, something bigger out there
Something we can’t see
[Repeat chorus]
