Hello everybody on Hive and especially the Hive Open Mic Community! My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you Cape Town in South Africa!

Back in Cape Town finally! I was trapped with my wife Julia, daughter Madison and friend Rhonwyn in a small coastal village for longer than originally planned after storms, mudslides and flooding closed both roads back to Cape Town!

Welcome to Week 181 of the Hive Open Mic Challenge. The theme for this week is the is “Fire of Love”!

For those of you who don’t know, I’ve decided to alter my Three Tune Tuesday posts to be based around the Hive Open Mic theme of the week, and how I would go about tackling it. If you are wanting to take part this week, but need some help interpreting what kind of songs would suit the theme, please go check out my post here:

“Fire of Love” to me describes the more passionate, even lustful, side of love. In the post above, I was quite easily able to think of three songs that even have “Fire” in their title:

• “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash
• “Light my Fire” by the Doors
• And today’s song: “I’m on Fire” by Bruce Springsteen

Now, because of the opening line “Hey little girl is your daddy home?”, a lot of people think this song is quite creepy! However, if you watch the video you realise that Bruce Springsteen is playing the part of a mechanic who has fallen for a much wealthier adult woman, and I assume “Daddy” is a slang term for her husband from the time. (Like we might say “Sugar-Daddy” in South Africa).

Lyrics for “I’m on Fire” by Bruce Springsteen

Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire

Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher

Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night, I wake up with the sheets soakin' wet
And a freight train runnin' through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire

Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire

Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

¡Hola a todos en Hive y especialmente a la comunidad Hive Open Mic! ¡Mi nombre es Jasper y te escribo (y canto) en Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica!

¡Finalmente de vuelta en Ciudad del Cabo! ¡Quedé atrapado con mi esposa Julia, mi hija Madison y mi amiga Rhonwyn en un pequeño pueblo costero durante más tiempo del planeado originalmente después de que tormentas, deslizamientos de tierra e inundaciones cerraran ambas carreteras de regreso a Ciudad del Cabo!

Bienvenido a la Semana 181 del Hive Open Mic Challenge. ¡El tema de esta semana es “Fuego de Amor”!

*** Para aquellos de ustedes que no lo saben, he decidido modificar mis publicaciones de Three Tune Tuesday para basarlas en el tema de la semana de Hive Open Mic y en cómo abordarlo. Si deseas participar esta semana, pero necesitas ayuda para interpretar qué tipo de canciones se adaptarían al tema, consulta mi publicación aquí:***

Para mí, “Fire of Love” describe el lado más apasionado, incluso lujurioso, del amor. En la publicación anterior, pude pensar fácilmente en tres canciones que incluso tienen “Fire” en su título:

• “Anillo de fuego” de Johnny Cash
• “Enciende mi fuego” junto a las puertas
• Y la canción de hoy: “I’m on Fire” de Bruce Springsteen

Ahora, debido a la frase inicial “Oye, niña, ¿tu papá está en casa?”, ¡mucha gente piensa que esta canción es bastante espeluznante! Sin embargo, si miras el video, te das cuenta de que Bruce Springsteen está interpretando el papel de un mecánico que se ha enamorado de una mujer adulta mucho más rica, y supongo que "papá" es un término de jerga para su marido de la época. (Como podríamos decir "Sugar-Daddy" en Sudáfrica).

Letra de “I’m on Fire” de Bruce Springsteen

Oye, pequeña, ¿está tu papá en casa?
¿Se fue y te dejó sola?
tengo malas ganas

Oh, oh, oh
Estoy prendido

Dime ahora, cariño, ¿es bueno contigo?
¿Y él puede hacerte las cosas que yo hago?
Oh no, puedo llevarte más alto

Oh, oh, oh
Estoy prendido

A veces es como si alguien hubiera tomado un cuchillo, cariño, nervioso y sin brillo.
Y corté un valle de seis pulgadas en el medio de mi cráneo.
Por la noche me despierto con las sábanas empapadas
Y un tren de carga pasando por el centro de mi cabeza
Sólo tú puedes enfriar mis ganas

Oh, oh, oh
Estoy prendido
Oh, oh, oh
Estoy prendido
Oh, oh, oh
Estoy prendido

Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Nice rendition brotherly

You have always got the best way to penetrate the heart of your listeners with amazing tunes. Thanks for sharing Jasper. Kudos

Great, friend, cool song and this is the first time I've heard this, I like the meaning of the lyrics and the rendition of the song with your good voice, keep up the enthusiasm,i like your performance

Beautiful entry bro

It is a very intense and spicy lyric, to a certain extent it seems comical but still cute because of the feelings expressed by the main character, I thought it was an interesting choice for this occasion.

Hahaha comical? I think it was as intense as he could be at the time in history - just look at the comments of people remembering their youth and first girlfriends! You ladies really do drive us crazy - nothing exaggerated about that!!!

As good as always bro!

This is a beautiful entry, I like acoustic guitar, wish I can play.
