Behind the track
I wrote Slow Burn during the early days of a long-distance relationship with my now wife. At the time, we were separated by geography and time zones, and everything felt heightened: wanting someone, missing them, counting down the days. The song came out of that restless in-between space, where anticipation builds faster than patience.
“Anticipation builds faster than patience.”
About the song
Slow Burn captures the ache of distance and the intensity that comes from wanting something you can’t quite reach yet. It lives in the stretch between desire and arrival; when every message, every memory, and every promise carries extra weight. The song isn’t about resolution; it’s about sitting inside the tension and letting it linger.
Style and mood
Moody and tactile, Slow Burn unfolds gradually, letting tension accumulate rather than rush toward release. The production mirrors the emotional arc: simmering, deliberate, and intimate. It’s a track that leans into anticipation, allowing longing and restraint to coexist until they’re inseparable.
