About Me
Art, words, and other controlled emotional detonations.
Why did I choose the name Crone Fires for this website and my pen name? The name came from two things that exist side by side in me. I am older, and a crone is usually an old woman. Crone is not an insult here. She is a figure of wisdom, survival, and may have sharp edges in how she sees and says things. Fires illuminate and transform, and I am also an Aries, which is a fire sign. Together, the Crone and Fire speak to my work: songs that burn through pretense, that carry warmth and danger at once. Not polished to sterility, not afraid of shadow—just alive, and hopefully full of honesty and new perspectives.
I write because it's how I make sense of things. I have always written things. Lately, I've found that lyrics and music are how I make sense of things. Let me make this clear from the start: I write the LYRICS, and I use an AI to craft the music. I think that you should be truthful about how you make things. Some of my songs start with a flash, others take weeks of chiseling, but every one of them goes through hard work and editing until the words and music are sharp enough to stand on their own.
I don't fence myself into one genre. If a song wants to lean theatrical, it can. If it comes out quiet, it stays quiet. Some are serious, some absurd, some stripped to the bone. What matters is that they are true to what I was feeling or how I wanted to tell a story. These are my ideas, and sometimes I slip into different skins or points of view to tell a story.
I don't post in neat chronological order, and I don't promise that everything I post here stays up forever. This catalog isn't a tidy scrapbook, it's a living collection. Songs that I like, stay. Songs that I amy change my mind about go. What's here is what I believe is worth sharing in the moment. Each song reflects exactly where my head was when it wrote, whether I was inside a story, inside a feeling, or inside a way of seeing something I couldn't shake.
You won't find much here about my personal life. That matters to me, but it's not the point. The point is the work. The interesting part isn't who I had coffee with last Tuesday—it's the voices, the characters, the edges, and the risks that end up on the page and in the music. That's the part I offer to share with you.
I release new songs regularly, and the catalog keeps growing. Some will resonate, some won't, and that's fine. This isn't built to please everyone. It's built to carry my truths, humor, chaos, defiance, and to stay with anyone who feels it.
