“Fireproof” by Coleman Hell

     Somebody plug in the banjo harmonica, this one’s gonna be a hit.” That sentence is an adjustment to the 2015 blog post about Coleman Hell’s “2 Heads.” In his latest release, Coleman Hell relies on the harmonica sound, rather than the banjo. It may be synth-generated, but the vocals in “Fireproof” are supported by what sounds to be a key of C harmonica.
     Coleman Hell resists characterizing his genre as Folktronica. The resistance is more defensible for “Fireproof” than with earlier tracks. But we are fans of the genre and, respectfully, assert that he is championing the genre.
     According to his Facebook page, those are Coleman’s parents who are used as the faces of “Fireproof.” He is based in Toronto, Canada. He will be performing at a number of 2016 festivals, including the BottleRock Festival in Napa, California.

Lyrics of “Fireproof”
Did you know
Me and you
Must be fireproof
With all the hell that we've been through

When all our loving
Lost its charm
Learned to make a shelter
Out in the storm

Leave it out 
Of the cold
Climbed the mountain 
Then I stepped on burning coals

When all our loving 
Fell apart
Someone left the light on
Out in the dark

You and I
We've both been through hell and high water
I'll be yours, you'll be mine,
We'll be fireproof tonight

There's a spark catching fire,
Feel it getting hotter
I'll be yours, you'll be mine,
We'll be fireproof
We'll be fireproof

Did you know
You and me
Must be fireproof
With all these flames between our sheets

When all our loving
Is almost gone
Made some in the moonlight,
Before the dawn

Leave it out
Of the heat
Crossed the desert
And we sailed the seven seas

When all our loving
Felt so wrong
Found out all the hard times
Just made us strong

You and I,
We've both been through hell and high water
I'll be yours, you'll be mine,
We'll be fireproof tonight

There's a spark catching fire,
Feel it getting hotter
I'll be yours, you'll be mine,
We'll be fireproof
We'll be fireproof
We’ll be fireproof

You and I,
We've both been through hell and high water
I'll be yours, you'll be mine,
We'll be fireproof tonight

There's a spark catching fire,
Feel it getting hotter
I'll be yours, you'll be mine,
We'll be fireproof
