The viewer is never sure until the last moment if he is able to make his escape, while at the same time, the lyrics are taking on emotionally complex subject matters. Altogether, &#8216;Embers Of Dead Fires&#8217; is a beautiful song and video, and it&#8217;s therefore not surprising to discover that Mr Flannery is Michael Flannery, a well-known New York\/New Jersey producer, arranger, sound engineer, collaborator and sideman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Try Your Hardest&#8217;
