about

On her 2007 debut album, The Inner Revolution, songstress Kira Fontana triumphs in embracing an emotional rawness without fear, while exploring a soul-searching mysticism that's undaunted in recognizing life's ever-changing moves. From the haunting guitar riffs and layered strings of "Bloom" and the acoustic soundscapes of "Spark the Fire" to the slow-burning cadence of the near-nine minute epic "Always," Fontana brings both creative and spiritual forces together; the seven-song set is atmospheric, hypnotic and absolutely stunning.

Engineer Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire) mixed The Inner Revolution, while Howie Weinberg (Smashing Pumpkins, Jeff Buckley) mastered the collection.

Track Name: Love: * * *
LOVE
Lyrics by Kira Fontana

Morning comes in a flood of white
and light pours into me

I left the life I knew last night
to be here now
in between dreams...

I'll stay here just one more hour
drifting back into sleep

'cause it fills me with some unseen power
to wake up new again
to see...

* * *

I can feel this free
'cause I know you'll always be right there for me
when I need love

You'll always understand
and when the world outside just gets too much for me
you'll take my hand
and breathe love...

* * *

Midnight's here and I'm on my own
still it feels so new

'cause I left the life I've always known
to be here now
tonight... with you

* * *
Track Name: Still: * * *
STILL
Lyrics by Kira Fontana

Each time the tide sweeps me away from here
I know when it's over I'll fall back deeper into me
still... I'll come up, with each breath
closer to where you are

I'll come in rogue waves, in deepest silence
and all I've ever wanted is to break upon your shore
I'm getting closer to where you are

Clouds shift and days break my heart anew
over and over I pray you'll find your way to me
‘cause there are times I still feel
your head right here next to me

Come back through star fire and ceaseless violence
all you've ever dreamed about is waiting at your door
it's getting so much closer to where you are

I'm always waiting at your door
I just want to be one breath closer to you
closer to your love
Track Name: Always: * * *
ALWAYS
Lyrics by Kira Fontana

Autumn leaves me bare and I try to be strong
as you're stripped away from me
I stand alone

I've sheltered you from this but I knew all along
that I can't stop the one thing I don't see

I've waited for the moment all of my life
you'd get the strength to see something in me

* * *

I'm reaching for your hand even when I'm alone
praying not to dream of you
for the thousandth night

but they all just melt into your face again
no matter how I try

I know someday you'll see all you asked of me
just maybe more than you can take

but I've always
I've always
I've always been there for you

* * *

Can't stop the cold wind stealing pieces of me
but buried underneath this skin
is a will that won't break

and a force that draws me up
through frozen ground
to face each new day

but you...
you always seem to need more of me

but I've always
I've always
I've always been there for you

you tried so hard to keep me here
but I found a way to disappear...

* * *
Track Name: Spark the Fire: * * *
SPARK THE FIRE
Lyrics by Kira Fontana

Sometimes I wonder if
wonder if I'll see your face again
in the silence I hear you breathe
and I still remember when...

all the weight of you fell onto me
buried all the rest in ecstasy
drowned it out in a symphony of love

* * *

and when I feel alone
if I close my eyes and let you in
through the distance I feel you here
and I imagine when

all the weight of you will fall onto me
bury all the rest in ecstasy
drown it out in a symphony of love
in a symphony of love...

* * *

and I know I was wrong
to leave so soon
but it won't be long
'til I come back to you
'cause I know I belong heart and soul to you

* * *

you spark the fire in me
you've given me something
so much more than I can see
now I see again

* * *

and I know I was wrong
to steel myself from you
'cause I know I belong heart and soul to you
body and blood...
heart and soul to you

* * *

but when I come home,
I'll come home to you...

when I come home,
I'll come home to you...

* * *
Track Name: Home: * * *
HOME
Lyrics by Kira Fontana

I knew you
you were so alive
'til they got to you and stole your light

Hallelujah...
I hear your voice and I wonder if
the time is right

'cause I was home wrapped in your arms
I held on tight

* * *

You said, pull me into you
tell me all of the secrets I once knew
'cause I got lost along the way somehow
but no one knows me better than you

She said, baby...
it's up to you now, my love
don't let the weight of the whole world knock you down again

* * *

Just have faith in feeling
you'll know where to go

Just have faith in feeling
it's a long way home

* * *

When all the voices in your head
try to drown it out
and when you get so lost
I'll soothe you

* * *

Just have faith in feeling
you'll know where to go

Just have faith in feeling
it's a long way home
Track Name: Bloom: * * *
BLOOM
Lyrics by Kira Fontana

Here...
you always leave me here
in the darkness with all my fear
I'm left here lost without a trace of your love
not a whisper of you near

I hunger for your touch
thirst for your embrace
I've only had one look
at the stillness of your face

* * *

Without the breath of you
I can still see but all seems pale
each moment's lost to the abyss of the past
all these memories distort what's real

Fill me with new light
surround me and make things clear
be with me tonight
let the darkness disappear

* * *

I'll wait for you here
in the silence of the moon
I'll surrender all my childish fear
got a light to guide me
through the gloom

* * *

I'll ask you just this once
to let go of all you hide
come meet me here beneath the realm of the mind
in a moment outside time

Put your trust in me
surrender all your fear
we could both be free tonight
if you come to meet me

* * *

I'll wait for you here
in the silence of the moon
I'll surrender all my childish fear
got a light to guide me

I'll wait for you here
in the silence of the moon
I'll surrender all my childish fear
if you come to meet me

* * *

I know you'll you come to take me home again
and when you come to take me home again...

All the instruments of fate and the architects of doom
they could never hold a candle to our love in bloom

* * *
