Monday Music "Where's the fire" Tim Feehan


 I am continuing my "What songs would I play if Sirius/XM let me host a segment for an hour and these are the songs that I could play over and over again 3 or 4 times before continuing to the next song.  I will continue the *Boogaloo* theme after Christmas, that poor theme I had started November of 2019 and rode it hard like that little burro that carries the really fat lady down the grand canyon and back up again so it is still recharging in the pasture eating grass and grain before use it again.

 

 

I was stationed in Germany when this movie came out and we picked up the VHS up at the local German store that rented movies including movies to us G.I's and we rented it.  Well the movie was "ok, but the sound track was pure "80's", and for some reason the title song really resonated with me.  there was a clip on the song that stated "I' don't know where I'm going...as long as I'm going fast" I adopted that song as my theme song while I was in Germany  it is a hard song to find.


In 1986, Feehan entered a songwriting contest sponsored by producer David Foster (Celine Dion, Whitney Houston) taking first place and signed with Scotti Bros/CBS in Los Angeles where he relocated later that year. The self-titled debut album Tim Feehan was released in 1987 and gained five A.R.I.A. (Alberta Recording Industry Association) awards including "Best Pop Performance" and "Producer of the Year". The first single "Where's the Fire" was chosen as the theme song for the Charlie Sheen motion picture and cult favorite The Wraith. In 1987, Tim also won the Canadian Academy of Arts & Sciences Juno Award for "Most Promising Male Vocalist"

 

The Wraith (released in the Philippines as Black Moon Rising: Part-2) is a 1986 independently made American action-fantasy film, produced by John Kemeny, written and directed by Mike Marvin, and starring Charlie Sheen, Sherilyn Fenn, Nick Cassavetes, and Randy Quaid.[2] The film was theatrically released November 21, 1986 on just 88 screens in the United States by New Century Vista Film Company (later New Century Entertainment Corporation).

The Wraith tells the story of an Arizona teen who mysteriously returns from the dead as a supernatural, or possibly alien-created, street-racer driving an invulnerable supercar. His intent is to take revenge on the gang who murdered him. 



It don't take a lot to keep me moving  It's gonna take a lot to make me stop I'm racing to a fire alarm Should slow down but I just can't stop Move over if you see me coming I've got the fighter's touch I feel the heat inside me It's not enough but it's a little too much There's something out there i can hear it calling I wanna hold it but I'm moving too fast Where's the fire? Everybody's always asking me Where is it, baby? Doesn't anybody know? Where's the fire? It's burning up inside of me Where is it, baby? Open up the door and let me go I got a method to this madness I learned it on the street There's someone right behind you He's grabbing at your feet I've got no time for talking I've got no time to kill Some say I'm going nowhere But it's better than standing still There's something out there i can feel it baby It's getting closer but I'm moving away Where's the fire? Everybody's always asking me Where is it, baby? Doesn't anybody know? Where's the fire? It's burning up inside of me Where is it, baby? Open up the door and watch me go It don't take a lot to keep me moving It's gonna take a lot to make me stop I feel the heat inside me Should slow down but i just can't stop There's something out there i can hear it calling I wanna hold it but I'm moving too fast Where's the fire? Everybody's always asking me Where is it, baby? Doesn't anybody know? Wheres the fire? It's burning up inside of me Where is it, baby? Doesn't anybody know? Where's the fire? Everybody's always asking me Where is it, baby? Doesn't anybody know? Where's the fire? It's burning up inside of me Where is it, baby? Open up the door and let me go
