about

"Fire Tender" is a song about my sweet support system, written at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

All proceeds from this track will support St. Paul Therapy, a local organization raising funds to increase BIPOC folks' access to BIPOC mental health providers. If you're financially able, I encourage you to give more than $1, with a suggested donation of $3-$5.

You can also donate directly to St. Paul Therapy via Go Fund Me or Venmo. Find those links here: stpaulmntherapy.contactin.bio

lyrics

All my friends are fire tenders
As dusk rolls in they offer light
All my friends are fire tenders
They glow by day and they burn at night

My chums are checking up on me
They know it's hard to be in my head
They lift me up with just a text
Their words a hearth in our sweet homestead

Chorus
Gather leaves, light a match
Every friend is quite a catch
Faces lit around the pit
I'm so glad we are attached

My pals know the path I'm walking
They inherently understand
Doesn't mean they don't call me on my crap
I hate to admit it but they know what's best

My comrades could be comedians
to find us, follow the cackles
They never let the wood run low
As we approach midnight, the fire crackles

Chorus

All my friends are fire tenders
They don't let the flame peter out
They know how to keep the heat coming
We clean up shop while we clown around

Chorus

Bridge
Ooo, tender of warmth
Ooo, puller of thorns
Ooo, Mmm

Chorus

about

KYM Minneapolis, Minnesota

KYM is a cheeky, queer femme hailing from the Twin Cities, Minnesota.

They released their debut EP, “Not 4 U,” in Spring 2020 — six-tracks grounded in pop, salted with early 2000s rock, and garnished with a sprig of folk-like lyricism.

“Not 4 U” is the album you reach for when you had a rough day and need to dance it out in your underwear in the living room.
