Songs By Elemental Artists, Vol. 4: Fire

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.)

Songs By What-The-What Bands


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"




4)  Between The Trees  ~  "The Way She Feels"




5)  Cage The Elephant  ~  "Back Against The Wall"




6)  Walk The Moon  ~  "Tightrope"




7)  Said The Whale  ~  "Camilo (The Magician)"




8)  Minus The Bear  ~  "Hold Me Down"




9)  Saves The Day  ~  "Deranged & Desperate"




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!)
