The Fire was originally written for a uni music technology assignment and has been with me ever since. Making this song taught me the skills I used to create this whole EP.
This EP is called 'Homebrewed' because brewing beer is what started me on my path to self-sufficiency. The tracks are all recorded in this self-sufficient fashion by me on my own equipment, and are set up to mirror as closely as possible the way they are played live - through the use of a Boss RC-50 Loop Station. This live looped performance is something I've been working on for a wee while and now that I've got this EP recorded it's time to write some new songs!

lyrics
Lyrics:
When they come they bring their fire.
When they come they don't bring no rain.
Freedom is our one desire.
They feel nothing while we feel pain.
'Cos I never asked for this...
No I never asked for war.
I never asked for anything,
But you just keep piling on more.
So take a look to your left,
Don't follow me.
I know you're feeling blue,
But at the rate we're going,
I'll see a blue moon before I see you.
'Cos it's a lot to swallow,
When you find what lies underneath.
Your politics I won't follow,
'Cos you're lying right through your teeth.
Yeah.
