“I'm calling you from 10,000 miles away, Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe?


song ~ “Blood and Fire”  
artist ~ Indigo Girls   

I have spent nights with matches and knives,
Leaning over ledges, only two flights up.
Cutting my heart, burning my soul.
Nothing left to hold,
Nothing left, but blood and fire.

You have spent nights, thinking of me,
Missing my arms, but you needed to leave.
Leaving my cuts, leaving my burns,
Hoping I'd learn.

Blood and fire
Are too much for these restless arms to hold.
And my nights of desire are calling me,
Back to your fold.
And I am calling you, calling you from 10,000 miles away
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe?

I am looking for someone who can take as much as I give,
And give back as much as I need,
And still have the will to live.
I am intense, I am in need,
I am in pain, I am in love.
I feel forsaken, like the things I gave away.

Blood and fire
Are too much for these restless arms to hold.
And my nights of desire are calling me,
Back to your fold.
And I am calling you, calling you from 10,000 miles away
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe?

I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love.
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love.
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love.

Blood and fire
Are too much for these restless arms to hold.
And my nights of desire are calling me,
Back to your fold.
And I am calling you, calling you from 10,000 miles away
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe?       (Image source)

Comments 

This intense song contrasts the feelings of desire and depression.

Intense and painful

With its heartfelt lyrics and impassioned vocals, the song’s intensity comes through in both the lyrics and the delivery. Amy Ray said that it was a “love song,”   but added that it was about a “very, very dangerous”   kind of “obsessive-compulsive love.”   

That becomes quite clear she intones the following lyrics …
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love.
And it becomes quite disturbing when we hear her repeat those lyrics over and over again, in a disquieting whisper. 

No longer live

It’s so intense that apparently Indigo Girls have stopped playing it live, and do not ever intend to play it again.     (Image source)

I've heared of the indgo girls but never listen to the music. First time listening to her. There is a live of it on youtube I watch 10,000 miles away :P . I love the energy in her voice towards the middle and end of the song. Great pick! @majes.tytyty

Hello my good friend @majes.tytyty
Currently, I in Spanish make a publication called my favorite music today, where I refer to what that song means I post a video and its lyrics in English and Spanish.
But I really like this dynamic, is not it a problem if I do it too?


By the way, I must thank you very much for your trust and support.
Thanks friend. Thank you very much, you know your support is not just for me.
I also multiply it as much as I can to those who are needed in my country. I already have them well identified by their needs that we have equally, and in that case every day I vote with my 100% that is not much but it helps.

Now thanks to your support that may be a little more ..

By the way I invite you to read my post where I can finally prove with proofs what the usurpers in power are able to do who only occupy positions in government ... but not for a long time .. since winds of change are heard.

The evil of these ruling usurpers, who have names and surnames.
