“frozen heart ~ burning world” is the lone “bonus track” of the Let The Truth Speak writing sessions, but not for any lack of quality—if anything, it may even be among our individual favorites from the full batch of material. We really wanted a “Closest I’ve Come”-vibe track on LTTS, but nothing we were generating like that was gripping us—at least until Frank’s entrancing, icy intro came out of the ether one day in practice, and the rest of the song just poured out of it.

Unfortunately, the track just came together too late in the writing process for us to feel ready to record it with the others—and on a record that didn’t have much room for another odyssey track. But in celebration of the album’s special edition release and our long-awaited headline tour in support of it, we wanted to give the song the proper recording and place on the record it deserved.
“frozen heart” is uniquely—just Earthside. There are literally no other performers on the song outside of our four members. In our love of collaboration and working with guest musicians, we perhaps underestimated the value of what we as a core unit bring to the table. As such, this song represents the heart of Earthside’s sound—the atmosphere, the emotions, and the story-telling that are most essential to who we are as artists.

The title of the song is self-explanatory, but it sums up a lot of what we’ve felt and seen around us in the years of working on, and since releasing, Let The Truth Speak.

When we lose our empathy, and our present concern for anything beyond our individual well-being, the result is always the same—everything around us burns. We can look away, but eventually the flames will grow and they will reach us. This isn’t the world we want to live in.
