“She Burns” by Foy Vance – A Song Review

     Foy Vance released a vocal showpiece for his upcoming release of an album entitled “The Wild Swan.” The album will drop on May 13. If other tracks are on par with “She Burns,” the blogosphere will be abuzz with praise for Foy Vance.
     The vocal skills of Foy Vance distinguish “She Burns” from other songs that deserve attention. But the backup vocals are almost as attractive. Add the periodic bass line (first heard at 1:32), and you have a song to get excited about.

     Foy Vance is an Irish singer/songwriter who currently lives in Aberfeldy, Scotland.

Lyrics of “She Burns” by Foy Vance
She is a little explosion of hope
Never turns the lights down low
She can go there if you wanna though

There are no markings on a country road
No signs that show the way back home
When you get there you won’t wanna go

I’ve frozen all my desire
Covered up in virgin snow
But when I stand beside her
She burns yeah, she burns
Like petrol soaked paper and fireworks
And I’m burning, yeah I’m burning
I’m burning so deep that just breathing hurts
I’m melting darling, and I can’t let go

She likes to lay under the covers though

Pretending everywhere’s our home
Keeps me warm, right to my very soul
We get so tangled up its hard to know
What is hers and what’s my own
Vines at the bottom of an olive grove

I’ve frozen all my desire
Covered up in virgin snow
But when I stand beside her
She burns yeah, she burns
Like petrol soaked paper and fireworks
And I’m burning, yeah I’m burning
I’m burning so deep that just breathing hurts
I’m melting darling, I can’t let go
I’m melting darling, I can’t let go
I’m melting darling, I can’t let go
[Repeat]
