"Firecracker" is the second track from Ryan Adams' second album. I've written about Adams several times here and will do so several more times before it's all over. He's one of my favorite artists... a prolific songwriter and engaging performer whose versatility in musical styles keeps even the casual fan interested in his career.I don't have much to say about "Firecracker" other than that it's just a good, fun, upbeat song about wanting to "burn out hard and bright" as opposed to living forever. I can't really argue with this anti-Couch Potato attitude. Adams unfortunately embraced this notion a little too much for a while and his relentless touring and writing was fueled by a dangerous drug habit. Thankfully he was able to turn his life around. He got married to Mandy Moore recently and though the releases have not been as frequent, I'm glad that the guy is still alive and seems to be happy.
"Firecracker" is from the album "Gold." To hear the song, click on the icon in the widget jukebox along the side of the blog.
