Compatriots,
Here is a cover. If I was to be frank, it’s to prove something to myself after a very long and taxing day – for mind and body. Even if I didn’t actually prove anything, it is good to do. And I love this song.
I have two versions of this: a live version and a ‘tracked’ version with arco cello arrangements. There’s something nice about a simple, raw live version of something new and unplanned.
It is now 4:12 am. Why are you awake? Why am I still awake?

I’m On Fire – live – Bruce Springsteen cover
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I’m on fire
Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I’m on fire
Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the
Middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I’m on fire
EMILY HOPE PRICE
