Il 3 luglio 2021, “Fire”, il primo singolo degli U2 a entrare nelle classifiche inglesi, compie 40 anni. Un anniversario importantissimo per la band irlandese, dato che proprio quel singolo ha decretato l’inizio di una carriera leggendaria. Per celebrarlo, durante il Record Store Day, che è stato lo scorso 12 giugno, “Fire” è stato ripubblicato in un’edizione speciale, in vinile.
Stranamente “Fire” non è tra i brani degli U2 più conosciuti, soprattutto per le generazioni che non hanno vissuto quegli anni gloriosi in cui esplose il successo della band, ma ascoltarlo oggi, fa davvero un effetto magico. Non solo perché la voce di Bono risuona dolce, calda e davvero unica, quasi come uno strumento musicale che si fonde armoniosamente con tutti gli altri. Ma anche le sonorità di questo pezzo soft rock risultano attualissime.
Il vinile contiene “Fire” e “J. Swallow” sul lato A, e due versioni live di “Fire” sul lato B. Tutti i brani sono stati rimasterizzati per il progetto.
Testo Fire
Falling, falling
The sun is burning black
Falling falling
It’s beating on my back
With a fire, fire
With a fire, fire
Oooh…oooh…
Falling, falling
And the moon is running red
Falling, falling
It’s pulling me instead
With a fire
Oh…oh…
Fire
Oh…oh…
But there’s a fire inside
When I’m falling over
There’s a fire in me
When I call out
I feel some fire, fire
I’m going home
Falling, falling
The stars are falling down
Falling, falling
They knock me to the ground
With a fire
Oh…oh…
Fire
Oh…oh…
But there’s a fire inside
When I’m falling over
There’s a fire in me
When I call out
There’s a fire inside
When I’m falling over
I feel the fire, fire
I’m going home
