Album Reviews: Down Beat (p.74) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "His raspy shouts and sighs, alternating joy and melancholy, inform old rock-steady tunes..."
Advantages: A Passionate Desire, May Burn A Gem-Like Fire... Disadvantages: Consumed By Flames Of Woe; We All Someday Must Go...
...over what will be-- The inevitability of death renders losing inconsequential, thus, the worst fate we face is also our best fate; that our love consumes us in the fires of our own relentless passion...
2ND CHORUS:
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
Try to set the night on fire... (E)
So we've got 1st verse, 1st chorus, 2nd verse, 2nd chorus, now the song goes into the first of two solos...
In various interviews, Ray mentioned the influence Jazz Saxophonist, John Coltrane had on him. We see it manifested here. Ray models LMF's jazzy interlude after John Coltrane's cover of "My Favorite Things" (not exactly "The Sound Of Music" your mother knew and loved, but yes, essentially the tune Julie Andrews sang in the movie.) By shifting Coltrane's MFT from "D minor" to "E," and its time signature from a "3...
