about
Komie’s latest single, Aurora Dawning (Feat. Idrise), is a sweeping, melodic and inspiring pop-rock song featuring the talented up-and-coming vocalist, Idrise. The single, slated for release on June 7th 2019, follows Komie’s well-received instrumental album, Afterglow. Komie is a two-time Emmy award-winning guitarist, composer and producer who has created music for hit television shows like Ozzy Osbourne's World Detour and The Amazing Race.
Aurora Dawning draws inspiration from Afterglow, but the single’s vocal component sets it apart from the latter. The song pays homage to the Aurora Borealis, the magical celestial events that famously occur near the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Komie, in a characteristically thoughtful and metaphysically inspired tone, poetically conveys the interplay between star-crossed lovers amidst an emotively dramatic backdrop of stellar guitar playing.
lyrics
Let me love you
Your shining light inspires me, wanna feel all your majesty
Let me love you
Just gimme a chance to show what I mean
Can you tell me why I can't fly away with you forever
Someday you will find
I am high above the sky
Aurora in my sight
Flying ever high
And reaching your brilliant light
Soaring right through the stars
Someday you'll find me
High above
Aurora can you feel me drawing near
Reaching out, oh for your love
Aurora
Their star, my lover
Your worlds need you like we need each other
Let me love you
Together we can shine a light, we're giving love a chance to fight
Let me love you
Just gimme a chance to show what I mean
Baby can you tell me why I can't fly away with you forever, forever
Someday you will find
I am high above the sky
Aurora by my side
Flying ever high
Together we'll light up the sky
Shining down on the world
Someday you'll find us
High above, high above
We'll join together now
As one, Aurora and I
I gotta find you, I gotta find you, oh
I wanna reach you now
I gotta find a way to follow you
I know I gotta find you
For your loving I'm falling Aurora you're shining on, oh
I wanna reach you now
Get to you somehow, and follow you
I know I gotta find you
For your loving I'm falling Aurora you're shining on
Aurora
