about
“I Want Fire” started with a chorus. 🔥
That was enough to get our producer Leeroy Stagger all fired up: “I remember hearing the demo for this and just being bowled over. The chorus is so damn strong and catchy, if there was any justice in this world this song would be a hit.”
Written during the early stages of the pandemic, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to burn down, but something needed to go. My maternity leave should have ended, so I could go on tour and play rad festivals with my husband on parental leave. But suddenly we were two stay at home parents with two six month old babies, unable to perform or socialize, confined to the same routine, getting in each other’s space and driving each other crazy. As I wrote, it became less about burning down what was pissing me off and more about lighting up my own fire and getting back to our normal.
Nearly a year from when this whole mess started, a lot of pent-up frustration remains, and if people haven’t already, they are ready to explode. When I practice this song, I still feel that. But yelling the anthem helps get it out. I hope it works for you, too.
Our new album Singles EP will be coming at you on April 16, 2021.
lyrics
Gets so dark deeper we go
Tunnel vision before we know it
Drifting further off alone
Reach for me you’re getting warmer...
We used to keep
each other up all night
Two kids falling for each other
No we couldn’t get enough
Lately it seems
We’d rather do other things
What happened to our tunnel of love
I want Fire
Now you know
No you don’t
make me repeat myself
We sit on the couch
And we stare at the screen
Someone else tells us
what everything means
I don’t know about you
But I can’t live like this
Baby we need to feed the fire
Then we burn it all down
I want Fire
Now you know
No you don’t
make me repeat myself
Hey! Hey!
Don’t you wanna light it up
Light it up?
Hey! Hey!
Don’t you wanna light it up
Light it up?
It’s simple it’s easy
I love you, come get me
The embers’ still hot
Yeah they burn in the dark
And we got a moment
Just us and it’s so good
I see your fire goin’
So baby light me up!
I want Fire
Now you know
No you don’t
make me repeat myself
