THE BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.

To compliment my recently completed ‘1000 BEST SONGS LIST,’ here is another that just missed the cut.

1040-Bruce Springsteen-I’m on Fire.
1985-Number 5 single.
Best Bit-At 1.08.Some discerning voices have complained that the song is far too short,my advice to them is play it twice.
‘I’m on Fire’ is one of the 12 songs on Bruce Springsteen’s best selling Album ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ released in 1984,it is one of the best selling Albums of all time, with sales in excess of 30 million copies.In the UK ‘i’m on Fire’ was released as a double ‘A’ sided 7 inch single, backed with ‘Born in the U.S.A.'(see also best songs 549.)
‘I’m on Fire’ is musically influenced by the style of Johnny Cash,Springsteen wrote the song back in 1982, for his ‘Nebraska’ Album, but it was held back until 1984,in 2001 Cash recorded his version.The song is about the sexual attraction between two people who live in different worlds,he is a blue collar worker, and she married into money,he wants her so badly it keeps him awake at night,and she knows that giving in to her feelings will mean losing everything she has.
‘At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet, and a freight train running through the middle of my head.’
