PRESS RELEASE:7/18/2008;Los Angeles, Ca. Why? Things burn have just released their fifth masterpiece. Long time friends and collabaroters Rj. Vasquez (songwriter/guitar/voice) bass player Paul Raven(Killing Joke/Ministry) and Billy Tsounis (guitarist) have given life to this eclectic project “Your flowers/ My Soul” which mixes ethereal alternative with dark overtones to create a new soulful music avenue that leaves the heart yearning for more.
The 11 song offering captivates the listener out of the gate from the opening notes of it’s pulsing debut single “MEXICO”. Even with half of the lyrics on the album being sung in Spanish, non-Spanish speakers can visualize the mood. Why? Things burn knack for memorable song-craft is undisputable.
This album is the most personal to date for Rj. Paul Raven passed away too young in October 2007.”Your flowers/ my Soul” is about letting go of a true friend and…more than that, a brother. The track “Thank You”, sang with Rj’s unique vocal style and in his native tongue represents being thankful to his friends and remaining honest to himself and to all who have surrounded him in the past few years and thus bringing it all together with a twist of fate in which life and death have come together in a nicely wrapped gesture. You cannot fake fate.

Why?things burn/Porque? se queman las cosas.. lanzan su quinto cd. titulado "Your flowers/My SOUl.. Tus Flores/Mi Alma.. es un proyecto eclectico con mesclas de notas obsucras y guitarras nostalgicas.
Las 11 conciones cantadas en Espanol e Ingles cautivan a quin las escucha.
Esta album se convirtio en el mas personal para Ramiro j Vasquez (cantante y productor) no solo por contar con la colaboracion de sus gran amigos de mucho tiempo Billy Tsounis (guitaras) y bajista Paul Raven (killing joke/Ministry) Tambien porque varios acontecimientos marcarian el sonido sentimental de "Tus Flores/Mi alma"..La muerte de Paul Raven en Octubre del 2007 y los viajes constantes a Mexico que Ramiro j. realizo durante este lapso doloroso lo ayudarian a reafirmar su identidad como artista y como ser humano.
Esa busqueda de sus raices y cultura mexicana sin olvidarse que crocio en una sociedad Norte-americana se reflejan claramente en los temas "Mexico" y "Mira Mira"
"Tus Flores /Mi Alma" es un tributo a la VIDA a la MUERTE y el respeto a las culturas que forman parte de nuestra identidad...
