Marrowstone – Dear Wolf,
Marrowstone is releasing their first EP Dear Wolf has been over a year in the making and delivers a five song, first hand look into Baker's deep depression through lyrical imagery based on the Pacific Northwest. "It was a tough time in my life. I was dealing with losing a friend to drugs and just begging God to keep the fire in me from going out," frontman Zach Baker said. "As a group, we want this EP to demonstrate how we can move forward from our illnesses and provide help to others that might feel hopeless."
"Dear Wolf" is a testament that depression can take many forms. The title track starts with Liam Neeson cursing the heavens after all of his comrades have died. He breaks down and desperately begs, "show me something real, show me and I'll believe in you until the day that I die." "The intro into 'Dear Wolf' is sort of ironic," Baker said. "In my dreams and for days on end, I would see this wolf and would be confused by what was going on. Eventually, I realized that he represented this depression that I was experiencing." The wolf was significant for Baker, but all members of the group were experiencing their own personal struggles. As each fought through their illnesses and struggles, their wolfs went away and turned into new hope for each.
