about

Here’s a perfect track those quiet, reflective nights in — or, perhaps even better, that backyard-reunion hang with long-lost friends you’ve been looking forward to all year. Written by Hope herself, “By the Fire” is a healing, heartwarming chestnut that welcomes everyone back home with a hearty hug and a steaming mug (your choice of beverage). Engineered and coproduced by John Naclario at Nada Recording Studio and featuring guests James Felice of the Felice Brothers on accordion and Rosie Rion Porco on cello and violin, it’s a moody-yet-uplifting gem of touching, torchy folk Americana with a redemptive refrain that lingers lovingly long after the last chorus rings out.

lyrics

The world is strange
The nights are long
I feel so isolated since you’ve been gone
It’s been too many months since I saw your face
Behind the masks we’ll wait
Oh, I think I’ve found a way

Come warm your hands
Warm your heart
Join The band
Have a seat
Next to me
By the fire

Come stay a while
Have a laugh
Show your smile
Have a seat
Next to me
By the fire

You bring the chocolate
I’ll bring the rest
I bought the marshmallows
That you like the best
We’ve got the graham crackers
We all want s’more
Let’s spend our time outdoors
It’s you that I adore

Come warm your hands
Warm your heart
Join The band
Have a seat
Next to me
By the fire

Come stay a while
Have a laugh
Show your smile
Have a seat
Next to me
By the fire

Put on your hat
Put on your scarf
Put on your gloves
Put on your dancing shoes and spend the night with me
It’s getting late
But who really cares, What’s time anymore?
There’s no where else I’d rather be

Come warm your hands
Warm your heart
Join The band
Have a seat
Next to me
By the fire

Come stay a while
Have a laugh
Show your smile
Have a seat
Next to me
By the fire
By the fire
By the fire
