Keep Warm

from To Love a Wild Fire by The Ram

/

about

"I write my best songs when spending time with family and loved ones. Nothing inspires good music or storytelling quite like the lasting power of love. It's eternal. Reminds me of a passage from Herman Hesse that described how the love we share keeps us warm into old age through the coldest of nights."

There are a few metaphors in this song that stick with me. About when someone can't help but be drawn toward destructive forces that will inevitably lead their own demise. Why are we drawn to the bad stuff?

"I must've been crazy, to love a wild fire"

The other is a homage to the strength of love. Reminds me of a passage from Herman Hesse that described how the love we share keeps us warm into old age through the coldest of nights.

"The times we spend in love, are the times that last forever."

lyrics

= Verse
Looking down on the Rocky Mountains
on a jet plane flying over
peering out the window clouds pass me by

Well, I must have been crazy,
to love a wildfire.
A wildfire explodes then its gone.

= Chorus 1
And a change in the weather,
the wind changes direction.
Just a signal that the fire's gone cold.

the times we spent in love
are the times that last FOREVER.
Sure gonna miss them when they’re gone.

= Verse
Wishing you were here with me
drinking my bourbon whiskey,
just one kiss of your lips would light up the sky.

Streets of Philadelphia
Golden Sun of California
freedom sings her song, the greatest gift of all.

= Chorus
Well I've been around this world
this old world a few times
One thing I’ve learned I will explain

the times we spent in love
are the times that last FOREVER.
Sure gonna miss them when they’re gone.

The Ram is a traveling singer-songwriter based out of North County San Diego, CA.
