The World is on Fire

[Farrell Jackson]

The lyrics to this song were inspired by all the wild fires that are currently happening in California, USA. It seems our whole state is burning and the fire season is just getting under way. I feel for all the folks that have lost everything due to the fires. We are safe so far but fires are burning North, South, East and West of us.

The World is on Fire


(V1) An orange glow in the sky
Blew up before our eyes
One lone spark became an inferno
That happens when you lose the journal

CHR
The world is on fire
Can you hear the town crier? 

(V2) Surrounded and stuck in the mire
Of a wind whipped wild fire
All good logic is tossed out the door
As it spreads from shore to shore

CHR
The world is on fire
Can you hear the town crier? 

(V3) This can't be the normal state
Driving this crazy turn of fate
There needs to be another course
To change this fast-moving force

(solo)

(V4) Ash is fallin' like snow from the sky
Don't look up or it will burn your eyes
The red sunrises and red sunsets
Are so beautiful we almost forget....that

The world is on fire....yeah.

I loved this track right from the start when it kicks in with that cool guitar phrase then rolls into that fantastic funky groove. Excellent performance both instrumentally and vocally. Great lyrics too - we know all about the horror of bushfires down here in Australia, in fact our bushfire season is approaching. This is a brilliant track, Farrell - love it.

The world's certainly on fire in more ways than one, and I think your lyrics capture that perfectly. and the angst driven guitar rifts hooked from the first measure on.  Vocals are superb and a great overall mix.  Love this one.....on to my iPod with it.

Well, you certainly have first hand inspiration for this one, Farrell. Very well written, very visual.
The music and vocal reminds me of one of those quirky tunes Led Zep would throw out there once in a while. Very catchy, and well performed.

Sounds like it could be a zeppelin song, your vocal is on fire on this as well.
That guitar playing is superb,what a tone.
Is this real drums?
Everything sits right in the mix.
A brilliant performance.
