The tune, co-written by Miranda, Natalie Hemby and Liz Rose, is full of imagery and lyrical depth, none so more visual than the second verse: I’ve been burned out to ashes / Waiting for a wind / To carry me and start a fire again / Sometimes I’m just a flicker / A candle in your eye / But I swear to God / I’ll never let it die.
“Keeper of the Flame,” which was also the name of Miranda’s summer tour, will be featured on her upcoming album, The Weight of These Wings, which is slated to drop on Nov. 18.
