Negative White In Started A Fire, Evelinn Trouble's voice shines as the driving force behind the song. The sombre cellos create a gritty and dark atmosphere that builds from an intimate beginning to an overwhelming finale.

about

A few weeks before her Strings-Tour kicks off, Evelinn Trouble suprises us with a new song of her «Season Indicators» series: the grungy, guitar-driven «Started A Fire». Here, Trouble shows us a new side of herself: a sonic landscape that is overwhelming, warm and addictive. It starts with an intimate mood that turns into a dark vortex as drums and cellos kick in. The lyrics are a eulogy to the shadow parts of the self, the ones that, if not uncovered, can destroy everythig like wildfire. Reminiscent of early «Arcade Fire» and «Amen Dunes» the song is a clear departure from the clarity of her acclaimed «Longing Fever» and points to something new.

"Started A Fire" is the fifth song Evelinn Trouble releases as part of her serial project "Season Indicators": every six weeks, a gem from her seemingly inexhaustible song archive emerges. And these songs will get their live-premiere on stage in February 2024, as part of her national «Strings-Tour» with her infamous All-Finta* Band and a trio of string players. Don't miss!

lyrics

I’ve started a fire
Burns my life down
More and more ashes
Cover the ground
All
My
Good
Thoughts
Are
Gone

You wanna love me
Oh, it’s bringing me down
Now you're getting sulky
Cause you don’t know how

I’m counting on no one
Can't you see, I can’t count
The times I’ve been let down
Why are you still around?
I wish I could have some
Of that magic that’s keeping you
Loving and grounded see
All
My
Good
Thoughts
Won’t spare you

From
The
Fire
That
Makes
All
New

I’ve started a fire
I’ve started a fire
I’ve started a fire
I’ve started a fire

Someone call the fire squad (Started a fire)
I don't know what to do about it (Started a fire)
Someone call the fire squad (Started a fire)
I don't know what to do without it

Counting on no one
Counting on no one
Counting on no one
Counting on no one

Counting on no one
Counting on no one
Counting on no one
Counting on no one
