Barns Courtney Lights An Amazing Fire

How would you like to sit around a campfire with this ditty holding court? Barns Courtney ignites a call to action with "Fire" which has this sort of rumbling appeal to it. Very much in the hand clapping mode. So very animated to where the entire campfire's raising a glass in jubilation. Barns Courtney is a British singer emboldened with plenty of pluck. He was discovered by none other than Harvey Weinstein and Bradley Cooper who helped keep his dream of superstar lifestyle from fizzling into rubble. This Brit has a bright future ahead of him if "FIre" is any indication. "Fire" appears on the soundtrack to the movie Burnt, a movie about a success driven chef going for broke in the heatedly competitive world of cooking. Can't help but love the drums along the mohawk percussion beats at work here. Right along the edge of the warpath to be sure. Not that the lyrics are heady with pink-drizzled optimism. Consider this..."Lonely shadow's following me, Lonely ghost come crawling. Lonely voices crawling for me." Not the stuff of feelgood memories. It's hard not to appreciate the zing Barns employs the melody with. He skips first gear and launches straight headlong into fourth. He takes us all along for a wonderful sojourn we wish had no conclusion. Brsdley as the lyrics attest, "Sold my soul to the calling. Sold my soul to sweet melody." I believe him. The name of the game is passion, and Barns displays it in spades. Mom said "Son let it be." Mom knew what she was talking about. He waxes poetic in the lines such as, "Thousand faces staring at me. Thousand times I've fallen. Thousand voices dead at my feet." Such bold pronouncements coming from a man who's the type who has known his fair share of globetrotting. But wait...it gets juicier. "Ghosts and devils come crawling, crawling my name out, lost in the fire." If ever there was a place for toasted marshmallows and campfire songs, it would be right here, right now, with "Fire" leading the way. "Fire" is poised to sizzle on a ton of national airwaves, at least if justice gets served it will.
