Monday Music - Ben Rosenbush

My friend, Ben Rosenbush, has just released a new album of his gorgeous music. The CD, A Wild Hunger, is now available for purchase. You can listen to full tracks on his BandCamp page.

The song, This Fire, was featured last week on The Current song of the day podcast. Check it out and add some really good music to your personal autumnal soundtrack.


This Fire
This fire is burnin’ down the forest.
This fire is burnin’ through the fields.
This fire is burnin’ a brand new way.
This fire is runnin’ down the highways.
This fire is runnin’ to the homes.
This fire is spinnin’ a wheel of change.

Nobody knows from where the fire comes or where it goes;
our house struggles in the smoke.
The palest eyes watch as a wild hunger burns and burns,
with flames dancing in the dirt.
Our tears refuse to leave, try to rinse fire out,
but tell me how, tell me how,
tell me how can you live in a burning house?

This fire is smokin’ on the steeples.
This fire is circlin’ city halls.
This fire is huntin’ the cornerstones.
This fire is flashin’ on the watchtowers.
This fire is shoutin’ in the streets.
This fire is blowin’ down Jericho.

Nobody knows from where the fire comes or where it goes;
our house struggles in the smoke.
The palest eyes watch as a wild hunger burns and burns,
with flames dancing in the dirt.
Our tears refuse to leave, try to rinse fire out,
but tell me how, tell me how,
tell me how can you live in a burning house?
This fire…
