This Fire (album)

This Fire is Paula Cole's second album and was a commercial success. Writing and producing the album herself, she recorded the record in roughly 2 weeks. According to the RIAA, the album has gone double platinum, selling over 2 million copies in United States and peaked at #20 on the Billboard 200 chart. According to the booklet, the album is dedicated to "the inner fire of all life. May our seeds of light open, brighten, and sow peace on earth".

Cole released three (official) singles from the album. The first, "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?", (1997) peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 (number 4 on the Adult Top 40). The single, "I Don't Want to Wait", (1997) peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was used as the theme song for the teen drama Dawson's Creek. The third and final single, "Me", was released in mid-1998 but did not track as well as Cole's prior two singles. The song, "Feelin' Love", was featured on the original motion picture soundtrack to the movie City of Angels.

This Fire (Franz Ferdinand song)

"This Fire" (stylised as "This Fffire" in the single release) is the fifth single by Glasgow-based indie rock band Franz Ferdinand from their eponymous album. It received widespread airplay.

The album artwork to "This Fire" is based on El Lissitzky's art work Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge.

Song history

It was Franz Ferdinand's standard set closer until July 2009 when it was replaced with "Lucid Dreams".

Release history

It was released as a download-only single, and reached #17 on the United States Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and #8 on the UK Download Chart. In Australia, the song was ranked #29 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004.

The single was released in Australia as "This Fffire" [sic] with identical B-sides to the UK release of "Michael". The music video for the song was directed by Stylewar.

Music video

The music video echoes the style of 1920's-era Soviet art and propaganda (Constructivism etc.), including Cyrillic lettering, and shows the members of the band spreading a world-wide "hypnosis epidemic".

Feed This Fire

"Feed This Fire" is a song written by Hugh Prestwood, and recorded by American country music group Highway 101 on their 1988 album 101². The song was later recorded by Canadian country music artist Anne Murray. Murray's version was released in August 1990 as the first single from her album You Will.
