MaidaVale - (If You Want The Smoke) Be The Fire

[richardhaley]

The singer is like a 60s flashback! She is great!

I saw the group in Geislingen/Germany. It was a superb gig. Zeppelin meets Sabbath meets Hendrix. It was a joy listening to their music. When you hear this talented young women you will know, good music will never die.

Bloody good. The kind of 70s rock that is missed so much.

[carljonsson]

Thanks MaidaVale for showing how heavy should be performed. You are one of just a few and better than you probably think.

[FernandoOliveira-kteh]

This song gives me goosebumps e everytime I listen to it.

[franksalo]

Unique, and straight from what was great about rock of 1970.

[wernerspitzenberger]

they use the 70s stuff and cook their own, very unique style. sofia is a HELL of guitarplayer, NEVER boring solos, always unique. and matilda has created a completely new kind of singing-style. and johanna and linn are one of the best rhythm-teams ive ever seen.

[stevenmorello]

Great message in this song. Delivered in a very original, unconventional way. Killer groove, too. I love this. The whole CD is excellent.

Lyrics:

I met a woman encapsuled by youth
Body and soul
White dress but hair as black as coal
She told me of things in the past
Good times and bad
Stories 'bout both sane and mad

If you don't think of life
As time passing by
I'm sure you will find
What it's about

Go for the gold, never tire
Make yourself a frequent flyer
And always strive to get higher
If you want the smoke, be the fire

I walked away when she started to cry
Left without words
Regret was all that I heard
She thought that years are what define our lives
But I believe
That we are what we achieve

If you don't think of life
As time passing by
I'm sure you will find
What it's about

Go for the gold, never tire
Make yourself a frequent flyer
And always strive to get higher
If you want the smoke, be the fire

I met a woman enraptured by youth
It was all in her head
Said, I won't find no peace if I'm dead

Go for the gold, never tire
Make yourself a frequent flyer
And always strive to get higher
If you want the smoke, be the fire

[TristanBaldi]

Saw them live in Paris 2 hours ago, absolutely rocked the place. And if I ever get read by the guitarist, I fell in love with you tonight. I wish the best for this awesome band.

[ddens]

Saw them last night in Bayonne, venue called Magneto, an old catacomb...it was packed and we witnessed something very special, what a SHOW! You cannot do more with less! Much better than the album, the singer took more risks live than in the recording. I cant wait to see them grow into the amazing band they'll soon become!

[houdinibadtongue]
