The first time I heard this song I was 14 or 15 years old. It immediately resonated with me then, because I always seemed to be the one burning with desire – and the boys I dated were “just not that into me”. Fast-forward 14 more years – and this song still rings so true to my soul. It can be tough being so passionate. I think my mom says it best when she said I was “cursed with a big heart”.
I hope you enjoy this cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Smoke and Ashes” – this goes out to all those people who still believe that romance and passion are possible – and that all it takes is a little stoking the fire to make it last – always.
