I’M ON FIRE

Eddy McManus’ version of “I’m on Fire” is a stunning interpretation of this classic hit by Bruce Springsteen. The original “I’m on Fire” was first recorded in 1982 during the recording sessions for Springsteen’s album Born in the U.S.A. The album version and single were later cut on May 11, 1982, at The Power Station. This recording took place in impromptu fashion when Springsteen started playing a slow tune on guitar and the drummer, Max Weinberg, and keyboardist, Roy Bittan, created an accompaniment on the spot. The result was a moody, sexually charged song that blends a soft rockabilly beat, thought-provoking lyrics, and synthesizers into an effective whole. It was one of the first uses of synthesizers in Springsteen’s music.

Cash Box described “I’m on Fire” as “at once a quiet and tense tune of pent up desire.” McManus’ version captures the moody, sexually charged atmosphere of the original while adding his own unique flair and expert musicianship. His vocals are rich and emotive, delivering the lyrics with a level of sincerity and passion that is truly breathtaking. The musical arrangement is equally impressive, with each instrument perfectly balanced and expertly played.

Eddy McManus’ version of “I’m on Fire” is a must-have for any fan of this classic tune. Whether you’re a die-hard Bruce Springsteen fan or simply love great music, this version is sure to impress and delight.
