Let's Fire It Up

[djbride]

I am a music first kind of songwriter and usually when I am writing I will sing something (La-la-la's or nonsense words) just to get an idea of how the vocal melody will fit in with the chords. When I am ready to write the lyrics I replace what I started singing with real words. On this song I started singing "fire it up" when I wrote it intending to replace those words later, but the words stuck so here it is. Fire It Up.

"Let's Fire It Up"
David Bride

It's been a long day, working the hard way,
I need to make a plan to getaway,
Another work day, feel like I'm DOA,
Can't wait till I can get out and play,

Let's Fire it up little darling,
Let's fire it up right now,
I need some fun and I don't care how,
Got to find it today,

This world keeps going crazy,
I'm doing my best but my minds getting hazy,
Getting tired of all of this fighting,
I want to give up but I keep on trying,
I'm getting sick of this whole rat race,
Need to find a way to escape,
We're not getting no younger,
Let's fire it up,

Stress keeps building up, till I've had enough,
And I feel like I've run out of luck,
The walls are closing in, Feels like I never win,
And the whole world starts looking grim,

Let's Fire it up little darling,
Let's fire it up right now,
I need some fun and I don't care how,
Got to find it today,

This world keeps going crazy,
I'm doing my best but my minds getting hazy,
Getting tired of all of this fighting,
I want to give up but I keep on trying,
I'm getting sick of this whole rat race,
Need to find a way to escape,
We're not getting no younger,
Let's fire it up,

Another work week, I'm feeling so beat,
Till Friday comes and I am free,
I need the weekend, on it I depend,
Till Monday comes and I do it again,

Let's Fire it up little darling,
Let's fire it up right now,
I need some fun and I don't care how,
Got to find it today,

This world keeps going crazy,
I'm doing my best but my minds getting hazy,
Getting tired of all of this fighting,
I want to give up but I keep on trying,
I'm getting sick of this whole rat race,
Need to find a way to escape,
We're not getting no younger,
Let's fire it up,

Nicely done Dave, good mix, the guitar and organ are cool, and a nice vocal though I might have had it a little higher in the mix
Cheers

That's how Paul McCartney wrote Yesterday.

Cool rocker Dave

[Geir]

Very cool indeed. I too dig that organ.

Great tune David

[Gritter]

killer track! this one rocks. Excellent vocal performance and that organ is the sweet topping drizzled on that crunchy guitar sound.

[galestermusic]

Great song! Love the organ in my right ear it compliments the guitars nicely. I agree David it's a rat race.

Rock on!
