In Their Words: “‘Heat Rises’ was my songwriting attempt at making the ending of a relationship, any relationship really, relatable through the imagery of one night around a dying campfire. Musically, I wanted the ‘campfire song’ sing-along elements to meet the cosmic psychedelia of the strangeness of the universe somewhere in beautiful harmony. I think it’s definitely one of the ‘twangier’ cuts on the album but it’s kind of thematically the one that brings my love of classic country and singing with friends around a campfire together with the dreamier and more outlandish aspects of the way I write songs and the other genres of music that inspire me.” — K.C Jones
