On September 26th, 2014, Screaming Headless Torsos released Code Red, the highly anticipated first record in almost a decade. On October 1st the Torsos hit the road for the European leg of their “Code Red Tour”. The first full-length release with lead singer Freedom Bremner was produced by Torsos Veteran producer Gregg Fine and showcases their signature “gumbo” of rock, pop, R&B, jazz and electro-soul, and boasts an impressive roster of special guests including guitarist James Valentine (Maroon 5), Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkadelic, Talking Heads), Casey Benjamin (Robert Glasper Experiment) and 14 time GRAMMY-Award winning producer Ron Saint Germain takes the helm on the title track.
“Code Red” the title track and collaboration with Ron Saint Germain is a pop/metal anthem that rocks at break-neck speed and tells the story of the horrors of post-traumatic stress -- of a soldier who can’t escape the nightmares in his head. James Valentine, guitarist of Maroon 5, known for his hooky guitar grooves, steps out on the electro-soul jam “Brooce Swayne” with a shredding Munsters-Meets-Maggot-Brain solo. “Wizard of Woo”, the tribute to legendary keyboardist and founding member of Parliament Funkadelic, Bernie Worrell, is a madcap, tempo-shifting rollercoaster ride that features Worrell and unites the Torsos with the Mothership as only he can.
Over the past 19 years, SHT, lead by David Fiuczynski, has been quietly expanding their reach as the cultish wild child of rock, jazz and soul. After the critically acclaimed release of their debut album Screaming Headless Torsos, after Musician Magazine named them one of the “Top 10 Bands to Watch”, the band has continued to be embraced by fans in the jazz and alternative rock communities. “It’s pretty wild, when we’re playing some of these big festivals, to see new fans who were children when our first record came out,” said Fiuczysnki. It is SHT’s message and groove and that keeps bringing fans into the fold from around the world.
Field of Light
Screaming Headless Torsos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Calling, yearning, I'm beckoning
Searching, learning, I'm wondering
Once I was blind but now I really see makes sense to me
All in all is one in me
Woke up this morning found my soul was on fire,
Was I just dreaming, or did I see the light?
I know, I know
Tao is my guide to lead me back home
To lead me back home
To the shining house of love in the sun
May have lost my way, but I follow my own path
I know, I know: I know, I know….
All in all is one, all in all is one...
All in all is one.... in me
The lyrics of "Field of Light" by Screaming Headless Torsos evoke a sense of spiritual seeking and enlightenment. The song begins with the singer expressing a yearning for deeper understanding and knowledge. They mention that they once were blind but now they see, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for gaining clarity and insight.
The chorus suggests a profound experience of awakening. The singer wakes up with their soul on fire, possibly alluding to a spiritual transformation. They question whether it was a divine intervention, mentioning the Holy Ghost, and reflect on whether they were simply dreaming or if they truly witnessed a spiritual revelation. Despite these uncertainties, they affirm that they do know something significant.
The lyrics then touch on Taoism, referring to Tao as their guide leading them back home. Taoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy and spiritual tradition that emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao, often translated as "the way" or "the path." The singer feels lost but asserts their commitment to following their own path, suggesting a personal journey of self-discovery and self-realization.
The closing line, "All in all is one, all in all is one... All in all is one.... in me," suggests a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of all things, a recognition that the divine or universal essence exists within the self.
Overall, "Field of Light" explores themes of spiritual yearning, awakening, and finding one's own path to enlightenment. It speaks to the universal human desire to find deeper meaning and connection in life.
