Sex On Fire 🔥

"Sex On Fire" 🔥

Lay where you're laying Don't make a sound I know they're watching They're watching

All the commotion The kiddie-like play It has people talking Talking

You Your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley The breaking of day Head while I'm driving I'm driving

Soft lips are open Them knuckles are pale Feels like you're dying You're dying

You Your sex is on fire Consumed With what's just transpired

Hot as a fever Rattle of bones I could just taste it Taste it

If this not forever If this just tonight Oh we're still the greatest The greatest The greatest

You Your sex is on fire

You Your sex is on fire Consumed With what's just transpired

And you Your sex is on fire Consumed With what's just transpired

I first fell in love with Izzy in high school when my dad showed me Guns N’ Roses, now I’m in college and my love for the band has reawakened. I appreciate all the different Izzy stuff you have posted 😭

Don't Cry, sweetheart! 😭

It's hard not to - I know, lol! Thank you so much for appreciating the Izzy Stradlin content! Like you and so many others, Izzy means a lot to me. I too am a big GNR fan. They are admittedly my favorite band at the moment and have been for ... hmmm ... I guess almost 2 years? (Just in case my blog somehow doesn't reflect that.) GNR is a band you can rediscover or come back to again and again, because their songs are timeless. I hope to visit The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and when I do, you can be sure I will post dozens of photos of the GNR exhibit.

Just in case you didn't know, Izzy was and still is the heart of GNR. I once met a guy at a GNR show who bad-mouthed Izzy and I had to put one foot in front of the other and slowly walk away. 😂 Thanks for writing, and for recognizing my blog and my love for Izzy and GNR. And thank you for appreciating Izzy. ☺️

Rock and Roll is a feeling. Not every song has to be profound or have the lyrics dissected with a fine-tooth comb - or hair pick, lol. To me, Izzy personifies rock and roll. He is rock and roll.

♥️ 🤟 Keep listening! 🤟 ♥️

Love,

Flames 🔥

Song of the Day - "The Boxer"

Today marks the 55th anniversary of Simon and Garfunkel releasing the single “The Boxer” - March 21st, 1969.

The plaintive ballad, written by Simon, was recorded over a hundred plus hours in several different recording venues - from under the dome at St. Paul’s Chapel at Columbia University in New York, to Nashville’s Columbia Studio. The Nashville sessions included famed pedal steel player Curly Chalker, harmonica player Charlie McCoy, and guitarist Fred Carter, Jr. who played with Simon.

The famous bullet-sounding drum was the legendary Hal Blaine of the Wrecking Crew, who they placed in a hallway next to the elevator shaft for get the effect they wanted - that sounded like a cannon going off.

Simon has said the lyrics were a metaphor for his feeling beat up by critics, but as it evolved it became more about poverty and loneliness.

The famous “lie la lie” chorus was a place-holder of Simon’s for which he hadn’t written lyrics yet… but it just kinda stuck. But he says every time he does them, he’s embarrassed.

As for legacy, it is one of the very few songs Dylan ever covered. A beauty of a ballad...

I had some hearing issues as a kid, so before I was songwriting I was just writing. Words to me always existed before the music. So when someone complements my lyrics, I feel like they are seeing past every older version of me and telling little me: “That’s a really good poem.”

Meanwhile, back in the 60s, musical artists were thriving.
