Ash - Burn Baby Burn Copyright - 2001 Infections Records Offical Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNdDKhA_gkk "Burn Baby Burn" is a song by Ash, released as the second single from the Free All Angels album on April 2, 2001. It was released as a single CD (released on 2CD formats, the second of which being an enhanced CD) as a 7" vinyl, and was also released for the first time on DVD format. "Burn Baby Burn" is thought to be one of Ash's biggest and most known hits, and greatly contributed to the high selling of "Free All Angels". "Burn Baby Burn" was originally written for "Nu-Clear Sounds" but didn't make the cut. However, Mark very much liked the riff, and encouraged Wheeler to re-write parts of the song, namely the chorus. Even when he did so, they still weren't sure if it even was going to make the album, it might have ended up as a b-side. Originally the track was entitled "This Is Slow Suicide", then simply "Slow Suicide", but was changed at the last minute to "Burn Baby Burn" to avoid radio censorship. Burn Baby Burn was the first ever song played on the BBC's 6 Music station. For release in America, the song was remixed and features a new 'mid-song breakdown' during the final bridge. This version of the song is always played live. Burn Baby Burn is constantly in the band's set since the song's release. The band originally opened every gig with it, but more recently have closed every set with it. In their recent "Higher Education Tour", they revert to playing this near the start of their set list again. At Bud Rising in Marlay Park, Dublin on Sunday August 26, 2007, the song was played second. The song was critically praised, and won several awards, including: NME Awards 2002: Best Single Q Awards 2002: Best Single The song can also be found on the "Intergalactic Sonic 7″s" hits collection, as well as on the "Tokyo Blitz" DVD. "Burn Baby Burn" was also released as a DVD for the first time. The DVD featured the single, acoustic versions of 1995 single "Girl From Mars" and "Free All Angels'" track "Someday", and the first episode of Ash's road movies. Entitled "Episode 1: Road Movie", it lasted 20 minutes and starred the band's usual rockstar antics, ensuring a Parental Guidance sticker for the DVD. The DVD was limited edition, and only 8,000 were produced. The track was released in a promo EP form in many countries. In Australia, it starred all of the b-sides from the 2CDs released for "Burn Baby Burn", as well as the song itself. The song also features on "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003". In Japan, it was released with "Shining Light's Radio Edit, one of "Shining Light's" b-sides "Feel No Pain", the track "Burn Baby Burn", and two of its b-sides, "Thinking About You" and "Submission (Arthur Baker Remix)". The Japanese promo sample came with a picture sleve and obi-strip. Song used as theme tune to Euro 2008 promotion for the BBC. The track was originally a Nu-Clear Sounds out take, as Tim explains: 'Well, 'Burn Baby Burn' was originally just an out take from 'Nu-Clear Sounds' that didn't make the album. But Mark kept saying how we should try the song again, because he liked the riff. So we dug it out, and I re-wrote the words and the chorus. But even then we weren't sure if we were going to put it on the album or not. It might have been just a B-side or something like that'. A regular in the set list the band used to open with it, but now close the set with it. Lyrics: You're all I have in this teenage twilight Your Golden hair and your pale blue eyes But through all the days and the sleepless nights We have never been satisfied Tumbling like the leaves Yeah were sprawling on the breeze Almost to the point of no return Everything will burn baby burn Look into my tired eyes See something you don't recognize Binds that can't be untied Oh this is slow suicide Feelings that I can't disguise Never will be reconciled Oh something inside has died You walk like your in a daze Unresponsive eyes in a distinct glaze Like all the good times have flown away And the memory leaves a bitter taste Tumbling like the leaves Yeah were sprawling on the breeze Destructive love is all I have Destructive love is all I am Look into my tired eyes See something you don't recognize Binds that can't be untied Oh this is slow suicide Feelings that I can't disguise Never will be reconciled Oh something inside has died Vicious bitter words Are getting more and more cruel But you always take me back And let me lick your wounds Tumbling like the leaves Yeah were sprawling on the breeze Almost to the point of no return Everything will burn baby burn Look into my tired eyes See something you don't recognize Binds that can't be untied Oh this is slow suicide Feelings that I can't disguise Were living in a compromise Oh something inside has died
