nadine khouri | you got a fire

 
London-based Nadine Khouri is stronger than you think. Her’s is a musical strength born out of vulnerability and a penchant for bearing her soul. Not for the sake of it, but to connect us to her beautiful truth, a painful past and her optimistic creativity. Her latest release, “You Got A Fire,” reads more like self-observation than anything else. Here, Nadine’s style is sparse, almost bare bones (reminiscent of her beautifully haunting song To Sleep). Nadine’s is a singing voice caught in the low-branches where a soul can reach it. This is song as asylum, and you’ll hang in a tangle, the last leaf fluttering upon her comforting wind. The single, You Got A Fire is out now courtesy of One Flash Records. Make sure to look for Nadine’s full album Lost Continents in 2016. Peace.

You Got A Fire: Lyrics
 

You got a fire

A garland of wire

A prayer in the gutters of Love

Dust spins at your feet

Highways you breathe

In you, I can believe

We burn until we fall asleep

And ascend into a dream

A blanket of blue

From my heart to you

Your fire burns so tall

I watched the rain fall

A cascade of ropes

Onto the dirty street

You got a fire

The bane of it all

In you, I do believe

We burn until we fall asleep

And ascend into a dream

A blanket of blue

From my heart to you

Your fire burns so tall

(You’ve got a fire, and it burns so tall…)
