Lyrics:
Silent in the dark
Waiting for the spark
The wood soaked in their blood
Their hands joined in the mud
The ember gently glowed
The spark took to their clothes
The flames kept on rising higher
They stood in the fire
It burned with desire
In love and in motion
They danced with devotion
Tighter than before
They still want something more
The heat drys out the skin
As their patience grows thinner
Thinner than before
As they want even more
As they share in this fire

I've done a lot of learning in the past year. I've made a lot of changes in my life. I've filtered out quite a few habits and as a result, I've come to know that I want to progress more and evolve in the way I communicate. Devotion is a song that represents the beginning of something new for me, it represents one step towards becoming more of myself. I hope that regardless of your opinion towards it, you can begin to understand me more as I grow and continue to learn on my journey.

+DangerDobbs I wasn't really hyped about Karma Fields, I expected something more.

[@cold9312]

DangerDobbs That's yours, most people were disappointed with Karma Field's new song. This one here is the only one I've enjoyed, I didn't like the one by Hellberg alot.

[@dillmill7698]

this is not what i would expect from tristam.. THIS IS MUCH BETTTER!

[@lazarj]

sorry, but no

[@callmelunaVEVO]

Almost 4 years later and I STILL think this is Tristam’s best. The vocals, production, everything lines up to create a beautifully haunting piece of work. I know the song and dance is to praise Frame of Mind or Once Again, but this? This shows what Tristam is perfectly capable of. Still hoping he can make more along the lines of this, it’s incredible.

[@emmanueloluga9770]

Perfectly stated. only those who have gone down the path of sonic exploration can appreciate the quality of this track as his best. its a whole league above all his other work

[@niggin9271]

[@soulkeeper7120]

I don’t care how long ago this was released. I will always come back and praise the hell out of this song. It is EASILY one of Tristam’s bests! And the reasoning behind it of Tristam learning, and wanting to evolve and grow will always be an inspiring one, at least to me

[@Ethan_23287]

I definitely agree, this song got me through high-school, and what little college I was able to do before covid lol

[@zackysh_]

@@Ethan_23287 Same for me, from time to time I've to remember how this song is called to search and dance with the fire again, few if any songs makes me remember it by itself

I dont know why but Tristam's songs making me feel that humanity is still can survive, that not everything is worth , that we all can still change the world and make it a better place

The legend is back and kicking!

[@projectnitefall8058]

no song will ever even slightly compare to this song. this is legendary!

[@artemetra3262]

ProjectNiteFall I don't criticize your opinion, but have you heard Deadmau5 - Strobe?

[@SlythysGaming]

deadmau5's strobe covered by sparkee is better imo cause of the sick baseline and piano/guitar solos

[@artemetra3262]

Rubeus. M i prefer original more actually

[@SlythysGaming]

artemetra I'm not a bass player but the bassline is the part of the song that drew me in. no matter who, you gotta appreciate the creativity of everything haha

+jweihaas hmm future cover? :3

[@stalkingedm5305]

+jweihaas Definitely do a cover of this. The beat would sound so good with your piano/keyboard. I don't think you should get a vocalist to join you though, I personally think it doesn't fit, just my opinion though.

[@FiniteCS]

Tristam... You have finally made a song that I love other than Truth and I Remember. You have outgrown your diaper that was Flight and its various renditions you've made. You have made me proud with this absolutely phenomenal song that I not only love, but adore. From your comment down below, I can only hope for more and more real songs that have meaning, not just fancy vocals with shit lyrics and boring instrumentals. Tristam, you might be on your way into my heart.

[@thisistazzy5831]

As much as I keep hoping for Tristam to make songs like he used to, Im glad that hes doing what he wants to do. Im glad hes trying something new. This isnt what I expected but it is absolutely beautiful. Keep doing what youre doing Tristam

Another song of Tristam! Amazing

[@schloob]

This is just amazing. Tristam can seriously do anything and make it good. He has made so many different kinds of music, and has mastered all of them. Some people complain about how Tristam has so many "fanboys" which is true, he's popular, but that's because he's a damn good artist. Great work.

Personally I think this is Tristam's best. It's kinda a song about himself if you think about it. Saying that no matter what happens you have to push through if you are devoted to something. It sends a good message and overall is a great song. LOVE IT

[@statusquo3317]

Tristam, I will always be a happy fan of yours. That is why I am happy as long as you are happy with what you want to do, and not just because others want you to do something. It takes real time and dedication to make music, and you are surely one of the best producers out there. Good job, and I hope you are well.
