Understanding poetry is a contradiction, like most natural things in life it's just something you do and then reflect on. It's like a teetotaler researching inebriation in a book, or a blind person describing their dreams..
This girl is a real poet.... Excellent. Heard it in bad late last night by chance. That's the beauty of radio. Sometimes you come across genius by accident.
This...um... Ok. I'm a writer/songwriter, lyric poet, sometimes a troubadour. For nearly 50 years. Words are my life, though sadly (unlike my heroes) an avocation. Stars or not, we paint with words and music, and we are influenced by everything we hear. So we know the Gift when we hear it. This song...hell the whole damn opus...reveals Kae as a 'once in a generation' poet of Joni Mitchell caliber. Stunning.
I saw Kate in Seattle for her "Let Them Eat Chaos" tour and I was honestly moved to tears walking out of the theater. That same emotion is evoked here, even though she is so far away. She is spectacular and I can't wait for her new album.
i never thought i'd be able to listen to this song again // but that's the beauty of it. after the breakup it still gives and gives and finds ways to live. thank you for your Gift kae ❤️🔥
Finally came back to this song after about two years. Its so important to me and I don't even realise it. One of my favourite songs and I have a very wide music taste.
Listening to this makes me realize how lucky I am to have someone to love, 'Cause for so many years my love's been a burden But now comes this fire to cleanse and restore us To fuel us and calm us and push us both forwards, forwards" I'm crying... tears of happiness
To me she's describing an element in the raw passion of this poem - an urban night karma. Teeth and pistons are penetrative moving, engaged in carnal action
Thank you Kate! I hope you will have a long lifespan to write your wonderful poetry with a message and combine it with music. I haven't listened to someone similar to you during my long lifetime. I love your work. The world needs people like you.
My visionary is a vision I watch her dancing by the window And it rips my flesh to ribbons And the whole world is just ripples In the middle distance I listen to her hips I push my kisses to her lips We move like we were born to move The night is teeth and pistons And there is something in this tenderness that makes me want to live Fire smoke Her mouth sets free this captive Come close to me Free me Let me untangle the madness that knots you I drop to my knees and crawl across you I tell you I've got you It's fire smoke So go on, give me three days of your body and mine Time is a blind eye and I see your mind in my mind's eye You make me immortal You take me to space You are a planet A place I've not known Your body is home to rare gods I kneel at their temple I'm blown to bits, gentle, ferocious We are open Explosives have nothing compared to these sparks So let's fall apart And then lie with me, breathing in the den of the dark It's fire smoke Your mouth sets free this captive Come close to me Free me Untangle the madness that knots me You drop to your knees, you crawl across me You lick your lips softly It's fire smoke The fire rises between us And makes us get on the wrong trains Walk the wrong way Makes strangers smile greetings on Lewisham way I bathe in this fire It warms without burning Compels without force And it turns without turning the world So, please, you keep your purpose Your poise and your journey I'll be by the fire Thinking, nothing I've learned can prepare me For everything else that needs learning Is this how it feels to feel certain? 'Cause for so many years my love's been a burden But now comes this fire to cleanse and restore us To fuel us and calm us and push us both forwards, forwards
Showed to me by a girl I dated. Since then I think of this as the realest song about love and affection ever written. How could someone put all this emotion in one single work, a miracle to me. So unbelievably good.
So beautiful and so nice to experience your powerful lyrical mind being happy and contented ! So evocative, i was instantly cast into past romances , thankyou
Maybe it is just me ...but this is without doubt....the most insightful, passionate, and dare I say it, erotic piece of lyric poetry I have ever heard..... Bravo Kate Tempest.
Poets still exist
I keep coming back to this song nearly every day. It makes me believe love might exist....once again.
Ah you are sweet. It does. Again and again. Like life
so tender, simply beautiful
Kate's a prime example of why understanding poetry can help you musically.
Understanding poetry is a contradiction, like most natural things in life it's just something you do and then reflect on. It's like a teetotaler researching inebriation in a book, or a blind person describing their dreams..
Who could not fall for a soul that writes like this
Kae, I respect your medicine.
You have my full respect 🙏

As good as Sappho. Not saying that lightly.
Sensual, warm, enticing and so full of beautiful lyrics that I am spellbound. My life is better for having heard this.

Wow!!!! Just heard this. Tears rolling down my face! Utterly beautiful. Thank you!
She is so brilliantly righteous.

i love kate tempest - she's such a beautiful woman, such a talented musician and such an amazing poet :)
The more you listen the better she becomes. True genius.
Words are so sensual, meaningful poetry, just wonderful Kate Tempest
You keep your purpose, your poise and your journey.
Some of the best lyrics i have ever heard. Piercing lyrics i will never forget. You nailed it
This is for sure the best love poem dedicated to a person i've ever heard!
Listening to this makes me realize how lucky I am to have someone to love,
'Cause for so many years my love's been a burden
But now comes this fire to cleanse and restore us
To fuel us and calm us and push us both forwards, forwards"
I'm crying...
tears of happiness
one day you will lose her. never forget every moment.
Genuinely, the best love song I have ever heard. Thank you
your words are so strong, i can feel it in my bones
and heart keeps pumping, without fear
Gorgeous mellowness
The night is teeth and pistons. Thank you Kate ❤
For a non native English speaker like me I cant figure out the meaning of this verse. Plain translation is somehow weird.. What does she mean?
To me she's describing an element in the raw passion of this poem - an urban night karma. Teeth and pistons are penetrative moving, engaged in carnal action
this makes me think of her, miss her, feel her presence
Thanks for your tenderness.I needed it.
Mesmerizing
This is heavenly, Thank you. The Bard has spoken, again.
'Is this how it feels to feel certain' ❤️
Thank you Kate! I hope you will have a long lifespan to write your wonderful poetry with a message and combine it with music. I haven't listened to someone similar to you during my long lifetime. I love your work.
The world needs people like you.
Radio 6 music bought me here. Unbelievable station.
My visionary is a vision
I watch her dancing by the window
And it rips my flesh to ribbons
And the whole world is just ripples
In the middle distance
I listen to her hips
I push my kisses to her lips
We move like we were born to move
The night is teeth and pistons
And there is something in this tenderness that makes me want to live
Fire smoke
Her mouth sets free this captive
Come close to me
Free me
Let me untangle the madness that knots you
I drop to my knees and crawl across you
I tell you I've got you
It's fire smoke
So go on, give me three days of your body and mine
Time is a blind eye and I see your mind in my mind's eye
You make me immortal
You take me to space
You are a planet
A place I've not known
Your body is home to rare gods
I kneel at their temple
I'm blown to bits, gentle, ferocious
We are open
Explosives have nothing compared to these sparks
So let's fall apart
And then lie with me, breathing in the den of the dark
It's fire smoke
Your mouth sets free this captive
Come close to me
Free me
Untangle the madness that knots me
You drop to your knees, you crawl across me
You lick your lips softly
It's fire smoke
The fire rises between us
And makes us get on the wrong trains
Walk the wrong way
Makes strangers smile greetings on Lewisham way
I bathe in this fire
It warms without burning
Compels without force
And it turns without turning the world
So, please, you keep your purpose
Your poise and your journey
I'll be by the fire
Thinking, nothing I've learned can prepare me
For everything else that needs learning
Is this how it feels to feel certain?
'Cause for so many years my love's been a burden
But now comes this fire to cleanse and restore us
To fuel us and calm us and push us both forwards, forwards
The night is teeth and pistons !!!!
Explosives have nothing compared to these sparks so let's fall apart. - One of my favourite lyrics ever
