Fire To My Soul

by Steve Umculo

/

about

‘Fire To My Soul’ is an upbeat ode to the dichotomous burning feeling that only an unsure lover can provoke.

Affairs of the heart can be tough and sometimes all we can do is pick ourselves back up and dance the pain away.

Written while he was living in the US in 2017, Steve remotely recorded this song between Jo’burg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Paris during the lockdown in 2021.

lyrics

It’s just like fire to my soul

Give me peace and give me hope
And set a fire to my soul
I wanna know what it’s like to be free

Keep me safe and keep me warm
I’ve lived my life out in this storm
And for the first time I just feel like me

I think we better talk this over
What happened to the halos around our heads
Go pick yourself a four leaf clover
And sing along to stupid songs
That only bring back what was said

Woah
It’s just like fire to my soul
Woah

Woah
It’s just like fire to my soul
Woah

Have you felt this kind of burn
Or are you sensually yearning
For a cold pool of hot memories

I’ve never been down at this depth
But I don’t wanna catch a breath
I guess we’ll swim around indefinitely

Take our book out from its cage
Collect the ashes of our page
Ink up your feather and sit next to me

Strike a match and start a flame
This is a tail that can’t be tamed
Singe the edges of our destiny

I think we better talk this over
What happened to the halos around our heads
Go pick yourself a four leaf clover
And sing along to stupid songs
That only bring back what was said

Woah
It’s just like fire to my soul
Woah

Woah
It’s just like fire to my soul
Woah

To my soul
E-yo-e-yo-e-yo
To my soul
E-yo-e-yo
To my soul
E-yo-e-yo-e-yo
To my soul
My soul
My soul

So sing along to stupid songs
That only bring back what was said

Woah
It’s just like fire to my soul
Woah

Woah
It’s just like fire to my soul
Woah

Give me peace and give me hope
And set a fire to my soul
I wanna know what it’s like to be free
