They won’t help me survive.
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace,
The burning keeps me alive….”

If you’re going to interpret a rock classic, better bring it. Not. Quite. There.

The song isn’t really Ms Raitt’s style, considering her body of work. There is a certain level of anger associated with the song, one might even say, testosterone-fueled anger, present in the original.

Ms Raitt needs no homily from me, but we really are on the edge of burning down the house.
