about
Annie J’s “Light My Own Fire” is a warm, anthemic pop-soul track that was inspired by the desire to overcome self-doubt. As the third single off of her forthcoming debut solo EP ‘Get Back,’ Annie fans the flame cultivated by years of establishing her rich voice as a leading presence in the Seattle music scene lending her talents to projects that include Seattle Rock Orchestra, 45th St. Brass, and the late blues legend Cedell Davis. Annie’s creative spark and thoughtful lyrics are kindled by collaborating with top-notch Seattle musicians including Andrew Vait (Sisters, Little Wins), Chris Littlefield (Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe), Nick Foster (Nick Foster Band), Scott Paul Johnson (Hot Bodies In Motion), and Stephanie Anne Johnson (the Hidogs). Along the same lineage as Dusty Springfield, Roberta Flack, and Solange, “Light My Own Fire” is a testament that Annie is poised to blaze a path of success as her warm delivery displays both nuanced control and playfulness as she executes rich vocal runs and a stunning range.
lyrics
Another busy morning
How will I get through
The world is out there turning
That's what it does in the morning
And all day through
I guess I gotta
Light my own fire
Light my own fire
Light my own
Light my own fire
Light my own fire
Light my own
Gotta get up and get to it
Taking my time with the movement
When I do it on my own
Still Learning how to care
How to stand up and be there
For myself, I guess I gotta
Light my own fire
Light my own fire
Light my own
Light my own fire
Light my own fire
Light my own
To keep warm
To keep warm
To keep warm
To keep warm
To keep warm
Oh I guess I gotta
Light my own fire
Light my own fire
Light my own fire
