Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Bruce Springsteen might be The Boss, but in I'm on Fire he's also… extremely calm about being absolutely covered in metaphorical (or maybe real?) flames.This week, we dive deep into one of the most quietly horny and confusing songs ever written. Is Bruce seducing someone? Is he literally combusting? Did he just wet the bed in three different ways at once? And why does this sound so romantic when the lyrics are basically an unhinged fever dream?We try (and fail) to make sense of it all, explore the strangest possible interpretations, and even manage to drag Creed into it. Because of course we do.Expect:unsettling lyrical discoveriesaccidental self-immolationunexpected gymnasticsat least one conversation about Mormon soakinga healthy amount of shame for ever thinking this was a sexy songAll hail The Boss… but also, mate, are you okay?🎧 Listen, follow, and leave us a review if you've ever been on fire and handled it worse than Bruce.Think you know music?Every Friday, Tower Of Music puts your music knowledge to the test.Guess the artists.
