Frazey Ford "Firecracker"

musicfog.com Frazey Ford lays down a solo acoustic version of "Firecracker" at the Music Fog suite. Filmed during the 2010 Americana Music Festival in Nashville, TN.

[@FriedHockey]

The fact that Frazey is not a mega-star speaks volumes to the state of the "music industry"

[@georgerarmstrong]

If more people in the world understood what this beautiful woman is singing about, the world would be a better place. Thank you, Frazey. Regards, G. Armstong

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

@George Armstrong, love The Be Good Tanyas and Frazey Ford on her own. I've been reading your comments for a while now. You said if anyone knew what this song was about....you seem to know. Would you tell me? I think it might be a song about drugs, about her brother, possibly about his death?

[@_MrPink_]

The muses go absolutely berserk with this one. This is the sort of work that if you aren't affected by it, you're not human. Absolutely magnificent, so genuine, so compelling. Love, love, love.

[@chrissy7033]

thanks for the link.xxxx

[@joomlaserviceprovide]

Yes, a work of genius

[@TiaLoca67]

Amen!

[@alissaclark4089]

There just isn't anywhere else to go from here. Her voice and songwriting are pinnacle. I have been and will be playing anything with her angel voice for the whole of my existence!

[@davesglass8911]

You got that pretty spot on

[@mindsigh4]

good rhythm, soul

[@Formerlyblind]

This song entered my world right after a dear old friend died in a house fire, after a hard fall into addiction. I feel like she's him, telling me his story. Incredible! ❤

[@jamesgraham97]

that is deep.

[@EggNoggDreams]

this is what true authentic talent looks like

[@KyleButler82]

Pure, raw, beautiful talent....Rarely seen these days. A girl and a guitar making beautiful music that shames the other "talent". A+++++

[@_MrPink_]

Yesterday, someone I have known for almost my entire life decided to end his life due to overwhelming and unfixable medical conditions. I was in contact with him before, and sent him a couple of tracks, but this came to mind after he was gone. I wish I had remembered. But I'm sure he's played it, now. The cosmic Walkman with the track list is right there. So long, Miles. You were and are loved, and will never be forgotten.

[@philiplevins6702]

so sorry for your loss...rip Miles...the music you want and need on your journey to the other side...peace , connections and wellbeing from Ireland ☘☘

[@_MrPink_]

@@philiplevins6702 Thanks for that. Ireland is a beautiful country!

[@elainerumboll4292]

Extraordinary extraordinary emotion, music and words. Humbled and proud to have discovered someone so unbelievably talented. Thank you for your gift.

[@agatunes]

Lovely! First time I've heard Frazey singing solo - thanks to Ewan McLennan posting on Facebook. A long time fan of her as a Be Good Tanya!

[@nandochess]

She's so amazing. I just found this singer minutes ago by accident and now i can't stop listening. I think i'm in love. Her voice bring tears to my eyes.

[@afinelookinggentleman2631]

Love the Frazey! You are an angel! Certainly hope to see you play live again one day. Miss you and the other Tanyas. Really doesnt matter what you sing, your voice makes a big burly man weak. Thank you little sister. Keep it goin on

[@georgerarmstrong]

Frazey is one of the greatest performers and songwriters I have ever seen or heard. Regards, George Armstrong

[@shag9949]

[@georgerarmstrong]

Pure genius. Thank you Frazey; I hope Samantha is well. Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee. Regards, George

[@gerry-jennwilson9591]

...."" And I Left Those Sober People With There Cold Hearts!" ...Thank-You Sister Frazey for this beautiful Eulogy about your Soul~Bro #1 , Kevin Jak Williams (RIP)...It is rare that somebody survives to hear their own Eulogy Song but that is how this Cowboy rolled. Dodged many bullets and lived to tell the tale. You sing it well.

[@MsBlueMare]

God I love..... Frazey Ford's voice! Woke up last night so many times and then this morning with this song still playing in my head:) Yay Frazey!

[@bolduette9634]

This lady plays music for your soul

[@georgerarmstrong]

This is brilliant songwriting and performance. Frazey demonstrates incredible strength to bring the world such a personal and powerful song. Regards, George Armstrong

[@artiste335]

Brilliant, brilliant, unique and wonderful!

[@faeriesfoe]

She is an Earth angel...her voice breaks my heart open!

[@aaatagirl]

I feel that I am right inside of her song...flying up to heaven. Thank you!

[@Jefaves]

[Verse 1] I was a sailboat, I was a sailor I was a son of a gun of a gun I made it happen, down in the school yard I was a firecracker explodin' [Chorus] Hallelulia, the sparks flew up to heaven They saw my smile, I was laughing so hard Hallelulia, the sparks flew up to heaven And I left the sober people with their cold hearts [Verse 2] Sometimes there is someone Someone who knows you But when you are sad there is no one But I'm a red bicycle Rolling and rolling I'm a quick silver, I'm a deal maker Don't you cross me once [Chorus] [Verse 3] And nothing can hold me To this earth that don't roll me And I don't know if I'm dirty or clean But I was a sailboat I was a sailor and I was a firecracker explodin [Chorus] [Outro] And oh why do you cry, sister cry? I bin talkin with the angels and its gonna be fine And hallelujah the sparks flew up to heaven And I left the sober people with their cold hearts

[@Jefaves]

[@edstaib9511]

I'm not sure If I love this song for the words, the guitar playing, or her haunting voice that has had me fixated for the last few years.

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

@Ed Staib, I love it for the message, her passion, and for all the reasons you gave too. Very sad song😔

[@Proudmonkey2]

How can I buy stock in this young lady? She is absolutely amazing! Thans for posting.

[@EggNoggDreams]

❤❤❤

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

Is this a song about her brother? He was a drug addict, I am assuming he's the same brother she sung about in Song for R. Did he die from a drug overdose?

[@kleankutken]

I think she is from the same mold as Neil Young. I love her.

[@jjjjjjjjjvgf]

Presumptious of me leaving any comment, but Joan Baez, Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell, Frazey Ford...

[@rafaelHurtadodeMendoza]

i'm in love with her :) she's effin beautiful :)

merci Rosy bonne journée bisous

[@lovethemack]

its called good music, not the dregs of modern culture like so many sink to

[@SaitenWolf]

Beautiful voice with high treble and much timbre, although I had some issues understanding the scarcely articulated lyrics. But I like it anyway

[@Lisarata]

I was a son of a gun of a gun

[@benp9433]

Frazey has deeper meanings to her lyrics and often will not post them. Or she will pronounce words in a different sort of vernacular. That part of the song says I was a sign of our coming or our going. Which I think has the same meaning as the way it's written out in your comment.

[@masilioglu]

ammazing :/
