Lyrics:
You try to hold me down so I became a soldier
Built up all theses walls and now I'm climbing over
Those nasty bees are tempting me
Oh lord! But I ain't going back
You take me for a fool, that doesn't make me foolish
Told me I was wrong, passion made you ruthless
Manipulate, it's just too late
Oh lord! 'Cause I ain't going back no more
Your fueling of the flames gonna show you what I'm made of
Breakin' every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
'Cause I will never be what you wanted
This fire, this fire
Is keeping me alive
Making me believe I couldn't do without you
Make it hard to leave you think it's all about you
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire, this fire
I tried to get this weight off of my shoulders
Built up all my strength I'm finally taking over
Complicate, I don't appreciate
Oh lord, 'cause I ain't going back no more
Your fueling of the flames gonna show you what I'm made of
Breakin' every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
'Cause I will never be what you wanted
This fire, this fire
Is keeping me alive
Making me believe I couldn't do without you
Make it hard to leave you think it's all about you
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire, this fire
Is keeping me alive
Breakin' me, shakin' me, shapin' me
Into what I never wanted, oh
Breakin' me, shakin' me
Makin' my beatin' heart a little stronger
Breakin' every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
'Cause I will never be what you wanted
This fire, this fire
Is keeping me alive
Breakin' every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
'Cause I would never be what you wanted
This fire, this fire
Is keeping me alive
Making me believe I couldn't do without you
Make it hard to leave you think it's all about you
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire, this fire
Is keeping me alive
Keeping me alive, keeping me alive
This fire, this fire
Is keeping me alive

It was Covid isolation in Saint-Petersburg. Me and my future wife in a small flat. We don’t have enough money. So close to hate each other. So close to depression. And I found this Treasure. 4 years later. January. My sweet wife gives me a present - vocal lessons! She knew, that I really wanted it. Cause Covid and no money stopped my lessons. Nowadays. Open lesson with all students of my Vocal master. I sing this song. The power of words and memories beat me in my heart. But now I’m stronger than 4 years later. I finished this song. My hands shaked. Me and my wife love each other and understand very very deep. All fears and problems now at the past and I love her so much. Thank you for your music and for this emotions. Forever in my heart!!!

I almost never comment on youtube. But this is a moment for exceptions. This is a masterpiece on all levels! I am a survivor of many abusive relationships and this song acurately and poetically expresses the hell I have been through. But somehow, heaven as well. With the amazing choir, the powerful back up vocals, the dancing man rising in the end. The lyrics, melody, voice and video are in perfect harmony and they convey the power in all of us, to overcome and transcend our battles and maybe turn them into masterpieces like this one. Amazing, Jonathan! Amazing! From the passion that put into the singing, I can feel you’ve been there and came out. Well done for everything! Thank you! ❤

I've never heard any of this singer's song. I'm so glad this was the first one. The guy is just amazing. The video clip is casual, mysterious and interesting. The melody makes me spring my feet to the beat. Thanks for that. I really like this song.

Being the son of a legendary NHL goalie likely came with a tremendous amount pressure for you to follow in your dad's footsteps. But, you managed to follow your own dream and carve your own independent path towards success and contentment as a musician. You obviously found your true calling in life to produce and sing songs that offer us a glimmer of hope, serenity, and beauty in a world that is rife with turmoil, chaos, anxiety, distrust, inequality, and suffering. Bravo to you Jonathan.

I saw Jonathan last night at the Capitole in Quebec City, my first concert since COVID started and I picked a great one. The night started off with an opening act from a young man named John. This was his first time singing before a live audience but definitely won’t be his last. He has an amazing voice and he is a great storyteller. Then on to Jonathan and his family (as he calls his group), they sang a variety of his songs for 90 minutes. We the audience were amazed and happy, the walls of the Capitole shook last night with love and appreciation for the show we were given by such a talented group of musicians. They portrayed a tight knit group of people that had lots of love and respect for each other and I can’t forget they had fun up there singing for us. One of my best shows ever. Thank you all.
