A Pair of Anthems – The Hvnter and Welshly Arms

     Cinema-ready powerhouse singles are typically aided by chorus-like backing vocals. That is true for “You Can’t Stop The Fire” by The Hvnter and every release from Welshly Arms.

“You Can’t Stop The Fire” by The Hvnter

     The Hvnter is the performance name of Karl Anderson, who is from Portland, Maine. While talking about his single, Anderson explained:

  I wrote this song just as the pandemic was settling in. Everything felt uncertain and a bit scary. “You Can’t Stop The Fire” became an anthem for me. It’s a song about pushing back against the things that hold you back. We all come from different places and have experienced life in different ways. Most of us have experienced that situation/person that tried to hold us down…and sometimes we even do that to ourselves. “You Can’t Stop The Fire” is about being an unstoppable force and rolling over whatever life throws at you.



Lyrics of “You Can’t Stop The Fire” by The Hvnter

I paid my dues I quit the talk

Laced up my boots and I learned to walk

I've been your fool I've been your prop

But I cut you loose and climbed to the top

 

Nobody gonna hold me down

Nobody gonna hold me down

You got your soul chained to your throne

But I own the streets and I walk alone

 

And I'm telling you

You can't stop the fire

No

No you can't stop the fire

No No

 

I've seen the edge I've felt the flame

I've rolled the dice and I've played the game

I've been a king I've been slave

I've slipped a noose and I've jumped the grave

 

Nobody gonna hold me down

Nobody gonna hold me down

I don't need no gold don't need no fame

I wanna watch your smiles be put to shame

 

And I'm telling you

You can't stop the fire

No

No you can't stop the fire

No No

 

You can't stop the fire

No

You can't stop the fire

No

No you can't stop the fire

No No

 

You can't stop the fire

No

No you can't stop the fire

No No

You can't stop the fire

No

No you can't stop the fire

No you can't stop it

No No

Lyrics of “Proud” by Welshly Arms
I don't need to have a premonition, don't need permission
It's my condition not to hide
Won't apologize for the wisdom
Won't run away from my mission to survive
Won't let my head hang low
Won't let the monster grow
No time to be humble
The world is a jungle
 
Cuz I've been nobody and I know what's it like to drown
(PROUD PROUD PROUD)
And I been punch drunk, but I woke up sober now
(PROUD PROUD PROUD)
I never avoid it
I see it, destroy it
Hell yes, I've fallen, but I never hit bottom
I'm feeling so damn proud
(PROUD PROUD, PROUD PROUD PROUD)
 
I was born a walking demolition, head on collision
Still hear the ringing in my ears
Every hard lesson I learned it, that's why it's worth it
Damn right, I earned it
Won't let my head hang low
Won't let the monster grow
No time to be humble
The world is a jungle
 
Cuz I've been nobody and I know what's it like to drown
(PROUD PROUD PROUD)
And I been punch drunk, but I woke up sober now
(PROUD PROUD PROUD)
I never avoid it
I see it, destroy it
Hell yes, I've fallen, but I never hit bottom
I'm feeling so damn proud
(PROUD PROUD, PROUD PROUD PROUD)
(PROUD PROUD, PROUD PROUD PROUD)
 
I'm feeling
(No time to be humble, the world is a jungle)
I'm feeling
(No time to be humble)
Oh, I'm feeling PROUD
 
Cuz I've been nobody and I know what's it like to drown
(PROUD PROUD PROUD)
And I been punch drunk, but I woke up sober now
(PROUD PROUD PROUD)
I never avoid it
I see it, destroy it
Hell yes, I've fallen, but I never hit the bottom
I'm feeling...
 
I never avoid it
I see it, destroy it
Oh... I'm feeling PROUD
(PROUD PROUD, PROUD PROUD PROUD)
I'm feeling, I'm feeling, I'm feeling
(PROUD PROUD, PROUD PROUD PROUD)
I'm feeling, I'm feeling, I'm feeling
(PROUD PROUD, PROUD PROUD PROUD)
Hell yes, I've fallen, but I never hit bottom
There ain't no doubt I'm proud
