YOUR FIRE BURNING - GENE CLARK

[@donnaburke664]

There is absolutely nothing more tragically beautiful than this. Rest in sweetest peace, handsome prince.

[@martinkent333]

A bottomfeeders delight......................

[@donnaburke664]

Why on earth would you say that? Gene was a once in a lifetime mystical poet and complex artist with a haunting beautiful voice.

[@martinkent333]

Hauntingly beautiful voice? Tragically beautiful? Bottomfeeders love the suffers of life, but they never like the classical handsome and talented. Right? You cannot imagine anyone thinking you are a creepy bottomfeeder who is drawn to his lack of sales and fans. Do you depress others? Try music that is jolly, friend. @@donnaburke664

[@chriscoughlin9289]

RIP Gene - and Bless Carla Olson for seeing in you what was always there hiding in plain sight for most of the American public. Arguably the INVENTOR of the American Pop / Rock singer -songwriter tradition. Before even Crosby, Gram Parsons, Neil Young, John Philips, John Sebastian, JT, Jackson Browne, Robbie Robertson. Gene absolutely earned his place in that firmament. Even Dylan saw in McGuinn Clark, Crosby and Hillman that the days of the lone troubadour were numbered, and if his work had a future it would be in the hands of his greatest interpreters - The Byrds, Hendrix, The Band and eventually an endless stream of followers. No other, Gene.

[@rossdavidson7790]

Been listening to Gene since 1964. Probably the most underrated talents of all time. RIP from New Zealand

[@daveyvane9431]

Nah

[@ЕленаГуцу-и1х]

Today it has been 30 years since Gene Clark left us and became the part of the Universe and eternal Cosmic music. Thank you, Gene. Your fire is still burning in our hearts.

[@martinkent333]

3 chords were too much? He exploded with excitement?

[@adrianaamarilla7270]

Great voice.

[@irenecurtis2639]

I live in another world when Gene Clark is singing.!

[@christineparker8020]

Irene: I am living in the same universe-forever

[@irenecurtis2639]

Gene did move mountains !

[@stormbringercoming8105]

I wish he’d have done more with Carla Olson. They were magical together.

[@johnmitchelljr]

Gene Clark and Townes Van Zant breaks your heart every time. Thank you.

[@howlindonster6131]

A more than a apt observation, couldn't agree more.. Two of the finest wordsmiths to grace the musical landscapes of my generation....

[@emmastein6886]

Gene is a magician. With his voice, lyrics and melodies he touches my heart and my soul every single day. Gypsy Angel and all the other albums are incomparable and stunning.

[@johnjackson8401]

Brilliant! He was most underrated. But he was a true artist and commercial success was irrelevant.👍👍

[@richardsokolsky2828]

from everything I've read about about Clark, whose music I love, he had a complicated relationship with his work. he could not countenance the thought of failure, but he had difficulty dealing with success. as some have observed, every time he got a whiff of success he ran away from it.

[@donniemaxwell1929]

Absolutely one of the most haunting and beautiful tune Gene ever sang. Man I really love it..

[@jonruss56]

+Donnie Maxwell One of my absolute faves !! First time I really listened to it,it gave me goose bumps.

[@shedtunescom]

This happens way too often: extreme talent, misunderstood and feeling unappreciated. Glad he at least recorded as much as he did.

[@karouselkar3149]

Just thinking same thing. He's did a lot of songs we can be thankful for that.

[@dangawronski950]

Amazed how he was ignored during his life, though he built an impressive legacy, and am so pleased that he seems to have been rediscovered. Once read a post that said if T Petty hadn't opened a floodgate of royalties to him, he might be with us still, but his family said he also had throat cancer. Either way, Thank You Gene, the gifts of your voice, your lyrics, the aching, live in our hearts, and so you live on.

[@truerosie]

If ever there was a symbol for conflict, it's a voice and a talent like this- and throat cancer. Thank you Mr Clark for all your gifts to us. Despite your inner conflicts, you produced many gems of rare beauty. RIP.

[@sammyscotch9945]

Gene unfortunately was an alcoholic and years of drinking cost him his life

[@chadborklund2171]

Yeah Tom Petty. Everybody knows you can't send our Gene any royalty checks. You might as well just show up at his place with a bunch of booze and Smack...in addition to the money of course.

[@SeverSTL]

Gene always looked like he could have played linebacker just about anywhere.

[@stevetrogner2524]

Damn! Another lost beauty. John York once describe how meticulously Gene transcribed his songs. No household name, just another artist who's music will contribute to "the music of the spheres" forever.

[@johnharrington2400]

Nobody turns their heart inside out and sings about it the way Gene Clark does.

[@martinkent333]

Really?

[@Meme-zc4cw]

I am not an emotional man, but this song is so beautiful I almost cried. This is perfection.

[@adriansnoodijk5353]

Surely you are an emotionele man, don't be afraid to show it.

[@maureendevries7367]

Gene is a huge talent like a rare gem. RIP.

[@christineparker8020]

Hard to believe it has been 30 years since he left. He has added his voice to the angels, and the chorus is the better for it.

[@donnaburke664]

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG AND SINGER THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!

[@2468pebble]

One true star, who will be appreciated in time

[@stacyblue1980]

Is appreciated now. Always has been.

[@sammyscotch9945]

Hes been appreciated by many since the get go

[@catfan5439]

another incredible song from a almost forgotten man in popular music,,forgoten by all ,except us.....his fans....

[@sammyscotch9945]

I dont know why people think he was forgotten. Gene Clark is a big name known to many

[@karyluhernandez5966]

Great song and great Gene, RIP

[@bannork]

the master of melancholy they call him, but he was so much more than that- melodies that go straight to the heart and a voice with a timbre that carried so much emotion.Gone way way too early but his fire keeps on burnin

[@hofla7777]

Fine words, mate. Thank you.

[@johnnybsteelriff]

Wholly agree, my friend....

[@hzilla5550]

@gramme parsons Or capture it.

[@randypotter7442]

Gene Clark was one of the best. The album that he did with Carla Olson was a treasure.

[@merlebuck]

My God...this song...

[@5150GLover]

Thank you Gino...you knew me so well...and still loved me in spite of it all. Thanks for the song!! I've always treasured this!! RIP Tambourine Man.

[@Jumpingjackfalsh]

He died with dozens of wonderful demos of this quality that never made it into a studio. That is tragic, but at least we have these. Thanks for thi post.

[@mauricioloiacono7949]

Rita somos privilegiados por termos a sensibilidade em amar o conjunto da obra desse poeta inimaginável.

[@christineparker8020]

He left 30 years ago today. I keep going back to any You tube videos I can find, and replaying them over and over. He had an amazing gift, and is greatly missed.

[@devinlocke7075]

@@christineparker8020 im just glad that im not the only one. the demos are pure energy, delivered in his purest moments. I am not afriad to admit that I dont dare hold back my tears when I hear his voice, his message and lesson. Iv learned so much from gene and forever now hold him in my heart as a hero, a guide, a mentor that was by my side through my addictions and helped me see myself for who I am. Music is powerful. Forever grateful.

[@marygalati5195]

@@devinlocke7075 You are not the only one. I just discovered Gene while looking for the Roseanne Cash "Fair and Tender Ladies". I love his and Carla's.version (did he compose the version they san?) .I'm playing everything I can find of his. He was so talented and played and sang so beautifully with everyone. I suspect he was only at peace when he sang, composed and played. Sublime voice, beautiful songs.

[@keeskleinendosrt4416]

what a voice, what a lost.... Gene forever

[@RobertLaberge]

Talking about fire, Gene Clark was like a human ligthning rod, with a direct connection to the gods of inspiration who made him their elected post of choice.

[@howlindonster6131]

After all these years it effects me still... He is sorely missed...

[@martinkent333]

His battle to find that missing fourth chord killed him. We should have prayed harder............

[@hofla7777]

Not the best sound. But hey, you get to hear a very beautiful song by the late Eugene. Enjoy. I love it. I love his voice, I love his melodies, I love the stories he tells aboth faith, hope, love and despair. He was a great one. He never received the appreciation he deserved. Albeit the songs he wrote for THE BYRDS. were responsible for the band´s early fame. He was the main songwriter in those early years. Many thanks for putting this up, Roccocolavito.

[@violetjm]

I think this is the version off "Gypsy Angel: The Gene Clark Demos." There's another version with Carla Olson on "Silhouetted in Light." The version with Carla is lovely, but this one, good heavens, my heart just breaks for this man.

[@christineparker8020]

Everytime I hear this I cry. Whenever I hear him begging her to believe in him, it breaks my heart. Love Gene Clark, and will never stop listening to him until the day I die.

[@lbshore]

He was a wonder. And he treated me to one of the finest evenings of my life. Never heard this. Thanks!

[@pearlfisher2813]

We lost so much great music when we lost Gene and Gram. Thanks for uploading this gem dude. 👍👌✌💜

[@jonsebastian95]

People band genius around like confetti. Gene's gift to us all was a gem way beyond genius. Thanks Gene , see you in the next life.

[@captainsoul1953]

One of Genes best ever songs..thanks for this Jim

[@angel1329us]

my god, this song just kills me every single time

[@bokwanable]

Most of his songs kill me the same way

[@hajeem1948]

one of his finest songs these songs he wrote at the end of his time... heartbreaking...his voice already heavenly are always touching me...touching me deeply gene never left...

[@keeskleinendosrt4416]

+hajeem1948 ik kan dit nummer eindeloos vaak afspelen. Hemelse stem: dit is een van zijn beste songs

[@farawaylyra718]

no .hasn't left. meanwhile his eternal fire is burning in my heart and soul.

[@pamelahay6242]

In mine too. 🔥😔

[@fenellablue]

beautiful song, beautiful man - such a loss

[@robertnesfield6321]

I love Gene Clark. I always hear his solo material in the context of the Byrds. They were a perfect match for each other; they would have lightened up his work a little bit. I hate like hell that he left the Byrds.

[@sammyscotch9945]

We wouldnt have his great solo stuff if he stayed w the byrds

[@georgefelton669]

I've read in several places that Crosby was really rough on him.

[@UweRayer]

Thank you very much Rocco for sharing this. Keep up the good work. What great pictures fits with the melancholie of the song. For me Gene is the alltime best.

[@farawaylyra718]

I love this man. He had it ALL....beauty, unbelievably gorgeous lyrics and that voice. I don't want to listen to anyone else..It's been two years.

[@micmac09]

If I had a band (today), I would do a cover of this beautiful song.

[@josephkelley8641]

the great Gene Clark.

[@zoomustard]

A lot of pain in this song

[@christineparker8020]

He had a lot of pain on his life, but he put it all in his music with his amazing voice an lyrics. Thankyou, Gene, for your amazing gifts.

[@sonora108]

When Gene Clark left the Birds so did I. Well until Gram Parsons showed up with " The Flying Burrito Brothers" I did follow Gene right up till he passed, what a loss Gene Clark and No Other.

[@juicerversion1236]

hmmm you should reconsider... younger than yesterday and notorious byrds brothers are amazing records

[@namcat53]

BYRDS, not birds.

[@sonora108]

My mistake I know it's the Byrds just slip on that one - sorry.

[@eowenspa2]

Gene said that the best poets held something back...l guess leaving something to the interpreter ....This song does just that”and break the chains of their despair”...That’s so ambiguous ...absolutely beautiful!

[@StephenS-2024]

So well said. Ty

[@light.truthbetold]

[@TheMauriciowolf]

É impressionante como as músicas do Gene Clark nos levam as distantes paragens. Fazem-nos lembrar do que tivemos e um dia perdemos, daquilo que objetivamos e desejamos e não conseguimos obter. Nos faz emocionar no cerne da verdade. Esse poeta era demais, ainda hoje tenho guardado dentro de um LP dos Byrds a notícia de sua morte. Foi um dia péssimo, pois morreu um poeta, um bardo, um peregrino, alguém que não deixava a emoção fosse qual fosse apagar dentro de nós. Enfim, "Seu Fogo continua queimando".

Now your hearts on the ground I'm trying hard to be fair Someone out of control Someone who doesn't care As you pick up your pride Put your head in the air You find it hard to believe That, that someone would leave Till it was over And all I want is you to believe in me I am your fire burning here And someday you'll find out That you can be free And break the chains of their despair Meanwhile your fire is burning here I can never replace The time that I didn't know You were trying to love Someone out of control With your life in my hand And your in my heart in my soul Hope that you'll understand That my love can't just be and then be over And all I want is you to believe in me I am your fire burning here Someday you'll fly away and you'll be free And let them go in their despair Meanwhile your fire is burning, darling Meanwhile your fire is burning, leave it burning Meanwhile your fire is burning here I hope that I do ascend The pain of losing you when You were in the control Of someone out of control Some where deep in the night I saw you finding your way Silhouetted in light And never having to say, Say that it's over So all I want is you to believe in me I'm the fire burning here And someday you'll find out That you can be free And break the chains of their despair Meanwhile you're fire is burning, keep it burning Meanwhile you're fire is burning, darling Meanwhile you're fire is burning here Songwriter: Gene Clark
