18 Dec Blackwater Valley – A Song That Took Root in the Heart of the Valley
We’re excited to share the story behind Blackwater Valley, a song that has quickly become a favorite in our live set. We first performed it at this year’s Fantasy Forest UK. The inspiration for the song goes beyond the stage—it’s rooted in history.
The name Blackwater Valley comes from a region with deep meaning. Located in the heart of the American South, Blackwater Valley was known for its natural beauty and its painful history of slavery. During the 18th and 19th centuries, plantations spread across the area, where enslaved people worked in harsh conditions. The story of Blackwater Valley speaks of resilience, survival, and the fight for freedom. This powerful history inspired the heart of our song.
When we performed at Fantasy Forest UK, we felt a strong connection to the land and its history. It felt like the perfect place to debut Blackwater Valley. Since then, it’s become a track we love to perform live. There’s something about bringing new music to life that gives us energy. We hope this song brings you as much excitement as it does us on stage.
Hugs and kisses,
Sunfire
