about

“Iron Wolf” is loosely based on the movie Wolf of Wall Street, which I haven’t seen. But at the time of writing, I was heads-down in a corporate job, and, to my amusement, some of that absurd business language started seeping into the lyrics. To balance it out, I called on the images of the iron wolf and the firebird from Ukrainian fairy tales I grew up reading. The string sections on this song are inspired by Yann Tiersen and played by my friend Juliet Jacobs. If you listen closely, you can even hear Julia Brown’s soaring operatic vocals towards the end.

lyrics

On the worst night of winter I lay awake with my arms at my sides
I'm not a confident sleeper, I get nervous when I close my eyes

I heard the tap water swirling and I remembered our swirls in the park
I heard a whistle in the wool, the iron wolf roused me up

If you don't mind, I'll run with your business plan
I'll get on the plane if it takes the pain away

So I chewed through the ranks and I handcuffed myself to my case
And I reached for your tail, if you fall then I'm taking your place

But firebirds burn most beautifully under the sea
And if you plucked all your feathers you'd still fly higher than me

If you don't mind, I'll run with your business plan
I'll get on the plane if it takes the pain away

If you don't mind, I'll run with your business plan
I'll get on the plane if it takes the pain away

If you don't mind, I'll run with your business plan
