Burnin’
We all have a fire inside us. Whether it is a flickering flame or a bonfire, we all crave something. We all carry a desire deep within us. The British artist Harris Rafferty captures this sensation in his latest single, “Burnin’”. Since we were children, we were asked what we would like to be once we grew up. As adults, the question shifts to what we crave. Even when the answer is unclear, there is often a strong inner pull towards something. That feeling becomes a motivation that orients our daily lives. At times, we get stuck and begin to wonder whether we will ever be able to pursue our dreams or if they will ever become a reality at all. Rafferty delivers a clear message here. Despite uncertainty, it is important to feed that beneficial rage that pushes us forward. As he sings, “I know I’m still ambitious”, accompanied by soft voices whispering “I’m burning”, the song acknowledges doubt without letting it take over. In a contemporary world where everything often feels mechanical, simply having and pursuing a dream can feel increasingly rare. Confusion and fear frequently take control, dulling that inner spark. Yet Rafferty invites listeners to do the opposite. He encourages us to listen to our inner voice and allow that fire to burn through hesitation and inertia. It is not about certainty or guaranteed outcomes, but about staying connected to the force that keeps us moving.
