I will not lie, I will not deny the fact that I believe Barns Courtney to be one of the best young musicians to have emerged into the scene in the last decade. This song, “Fire” was the beginning for him, his tune and his voice got the attention of Hollywood and if you are somebody that loves music and great storytelling then it should grab your attention as well. It’s just so powerful, so full of life, so full of an unstoppable force that will just suck you up and leave you mesmerized and turned into a fan of the artist that is Barns Courtney.
This music video is so simple, yet so powerful and it showcases what truly matters, THE MUSIC. Barns Courtney is able to bring out the honesty and purity of his song in this music video and that is why I find it to be one of my favorites.
Sing Along to it:
Lonely shadows following me
Lonely ghosts come calling
Lonely voices talking to me
Now I’m gone, now I’m gone, now I’m gone
And my mother told me son let it be Sold my soul to the calling
Sold my soul to a sweet melody
Now I’m gone, now I’m gone, now I’m gone
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn
Oh, a thousand faces staring at me
Thousand times I’ve fallen
Thousand voices dead at my feet
Now I’m gone, now I’m gone, now I’m gone
And my mother told me son let it be
Sold my soul to the calling
Sold my soul to a sweet melody
Now I’m gone, now I’m gone, now I’m gone
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn
Ghosts and devils come calling
Calling my name oh, lost in the fire
Sweet virgin blood is calling
Calling my name oh, lost in the fire
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Oh gimme that fire
Burn, burn, burn
