Customer Reviews
Marvelous music!
I love poetry, and I love great music; Malcolm Guite’s Dancing Through the Fire hits both targets directly. Guite’s gifts as a poet shine in the lyrics to these songs (all are written by Guite), which are full of evocative, rich imagery. The title track, “Dancing Through the Fire,” is worth the price of the whole CD by itself: it is a catchy tune with a lively country-rock beat... and lyrics that, drawing on images from Dante’s Divine Comedy, give the listener a powerful and moving way to think through the difficult, often painful pilgrimage that this life is. “Dancing Through the Fire” is a song not just to be listened to, but to be reflected on - it has so much to say about our human condition. Other songs pick up the theme of love in fresh ways: “They Don’t Make Movies (Out of Love Like This)” is a beautiful evocation of married, faithful love; “Tiger Love” captures the dark and light of passion; the heartbreaking “Numbers” attests to the fragility of life and love; “Rolling in the Hedgerows” is a playful love song to the poet’s muse. Really all the songs are worth pointing out, but I’ll just add that “Lente Lente” is a marvelous call to slow down and take life gently... “close your eyes and count to twenty”. This is a CD that will get played and played again: marvelous music, a joy and a gift.
An album to return to again and again
Some albums are a gift—timeless in that they conjure word pictures and feelings for every season of life. Such is Malcolm Guite’s “Dancing Through the Fire.” Rich, varied and welcome is the soundscape we are treated to on this album—one set apart by superb musicianship and lyrical sureness of touch. Wonderful imagery from Dante, no less, graces many songs.
Standout tracks include a gently wise ballad, “Lente, Lente,” an infectious rocker, “Fade Away,” a stirring duet, “Moonlight,” and the bluesy title track. This is an album to savour, and return to again and again.
