Last but not least, we have songs by artists with "Fire" somewhere in their names. I hope you have enjoyed this 4-part miniseries. Even if I wasn't able to find a great number of songs by well-known artists, I was able to discover some interesting, new-to-me music along the way. ~ JH
1) Fireflight ~ "Unbreakable"
2) Greek Fire ~ "Top Of The World"
3) After The Fire ~ "Der Kommissar"
4) Friendly Fires ~ "Skeleton Boy"
5) Arcade Fire ~ "Reflektor"
6) I Set My Friends On Fire ~ "Things That Rhyme With Orange" (I generally disdain songs with screaming "vocals" – but this video was just too weird not to include here. Great song title, too!)
7) Day Of Fire ~ "Cut And Move"
8) Backyard Tire Fire ~ "Shoulda Shut It"
9) Deadly Circus Fire ~ "The Light Within"
10) Care Bears On Fire ~ "Everybody Else (Paint By Numbers)" (This is a fairly terrible song – but their band name was so cute that I felt compelled to add it here.)
Here's yet another music post born out of my desire to include a particular song and having no other good reason to do so. So I made something up. As it will quickly become obvious, all the bands represented here have a word (be it a verb, noun, or preposition), then the word "the", and another word in their names. For example, Foster The People, Minus The Bear, Cage The Elephant, etc. Apparently, this particular band-naming technique has been going on for quite some time yet has become more and more prevalent in recent years – so I had oodles of bands to choose from. These are the ones that made the cut. Enjoy? ~ JH
1) Foster The People ~ "Coming Of Age"
2) Mott The Hoople ~ "All The Young Dudes"
3) Over The Rhine ~ "The Laugh Of Recognition"

6) Walk The Moon ~ "Tightrope"

10) Toad The Wet Sprocket ~ "All I Want"
11) Young The Giant ~ "Cough Syrup"
12) Portugal. The Man ~ "Evil Friends"
13) We Are The Fallen ~ "Bury Me Alive" (OK, so this one doesn't technically fit the theme [since both a subject and verb precede the "the"], but this post was short on female-fronted bands and this was a good song, so there ya go!)
