Tinderbox (Audio CD),30 September, 1997
List price $7.98
Great Album / 5
Well I finally managed to get a copy of Tinderboxand although the wait was frustrating, the album is great. After hearing "Tinderbox," "You Can Move Mountains" and "I Could Be Happy Yesterday" at the Toronto gig, it was amazing how familiar these songs sounded when I heard them on the CD.Tinderboxranks up there as one of my 'all time favourites' both lyrically and musically. As always, Jake has demonstrated clear insight into the pressures and disillusionment felt by those of us decent human beings who would like to be left alone to get on with our lives, and perhaps lend a helping hand along the way. A couple of the tracks ("Dead of Night" and "My Ever Changing Moral Stance") took a little while to grow on me -- but grow on me they did, and already I wonder why they didn't grab me straight away. "The Message" was well done -- and certainly well titled, and "A River Flowing" is another easy favourite. Which leaves the other tracks to enjoy on an all round excellent album. But what's with the song that is not noted on the song list or in the lyric sheet? The surprise and possibly even the gem of the album is "Roaring Boys (Part 2)." The mix of SLF and traditional celtic music is thoroughly enjoyable - please, please on future albums have more of this!
Song "Gate 49"
Stiff Little Fingers
ยป Gate 49
When I'm away I think of you
And how you're where I want to be
And there's on thing I gotta do
Get back to you to be free to be me
Cos anytime I don't like it
I keep a doorway in my mind
When I want to be with you
I just walk through Gate 49
It gets me down and makes me sick
To be somewhere I hate to be
So I'll escape I'll take a trip
I'll fly so high to be free to be me
Cos anytime I don't like it
I find that doorway in my mind
When I want to be with you
I just walk through Gate 49
Just for a time though miles away
I can put up with what must be
But pretty soon I'll have to take
My one way out to be free to be me
I may be tired of life itself
But here bores me I like it somewhere else
When I'm away I think of you
And how you're where I want to be
And there's one thing I gotta do
Get back to you to be free to be me
Where I'm mine all the time just behind Gate 49
