This is another song for my rock opera. "Crazy Davey' is the drummer, this is his song.
Fire Inside copyright 2022 Michael J Birch
Hear the beat
Of the drums
Feel the power
Here it comes
From the heat
You can’t hide
Burning Desire
From the Fire Inside
I’ve felt the rhythm since I was young
Felt the call of the drums
Felt the need to hit the skins
Again and again and again
Hear the beat
Of the drums
Feel the power
Here it comes
From the heat
You can’t hide
Burning Desire
From the Fire Inside
Played my daddy’s Pearls when I was five
First time I felt what it was like to be alive
My uncle’s Ludwigs sure kicked butt
I loved to rock on those drums
Hear the beat
Of the drums
Feel the power
Here it comes
From the heat
You can’t hide
Burning Desire
From the Fire Inside
You can’t hide from the Fire Inside

I love this song, the drum solo at the beginning drew me right in. You tell such an amazing and strong story with the lyrics. This definitely feels like it belongs in a Rock Opera but also stands on its own. Nice use of the challenge!

Something really honest about this. Something from the b side of a seventies album, that you only discover after years of listening to the a side.
Really good, and great to hear some live drums. The "You can't hide from the fire inside" outro is great.
Glad I randomned this.

This is great! So excited for your rock opera!

Glad the paint card challenge could help you drum out a new song for the opera. Nice chorus, very catchy and like the hook and how it is used. Great all around and thanks for taking the Paint Card "car" Challenge!

This is cool, love the drums-and-vocal-only of the first verse. And then a mean guitar and a bulldozer bass, wow. If it was a stand-alone track the lyrics would have seemed a little odd, but as part of a rock opera they make perfect sense. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Fantastic groove, and the guitar is so tasty. Great tone.
"First time I felt what it was like to be alive" I still remember my moment, too.

Super cool electric guitar part. I wish I could do that! Nice song. Makes you want to dance.

YAY MORE OF THE ROCK OPERA!!! Behringer makes great low cost stuff!!! As for the song, I will be first in line to buy the full album! The ending is awesome! Also, I apologize for the exclamation points, but!!!! :)

This is cool, Mike. Not sure if I've listened to one of your rock-opera pieces before. That's ambition, man! I like the drums, of course, but also the fuzzy guitars. You're hitting some high notes there, too. Wishing you all the best on the opera, man!

Love the build up with those insistent toms and then the break into a classic rock sound. Oh yes! I am headbanging away as I write this. Great guitar sound and execution.
