“Where I Got My Fire“ by Jeremy Gravely

“Where I Got My Fire” by Jeremy Gravely is a touching tribute to his grandfather that is guaranteed to pull at your heartstrings and inspire you to hold your loved ones a little closer. Gravely, a talented country folk artist based in Texas, paints a compelling narrative with this vulnerable and moving song. It is clear how deeply Gravely’s grandfather impacted and shaped him, and he honors that connection beautifully in this emotional song.

Intimate plucked acoustic guitars and a steady drum rhythm form the backbone of the song, and as the story builds, subtle electric guitars begin adding texture while whining slide guitars contribute to the emotional atmosphere. The arrangement is immersive, yet remains mostly sparse to allow the lyrics to shine. Lyrics like “he bought me my first guitar, I wrote him a song straight from my heart” and “he taught me how to be a man” tell us just how influential Gravely’s grandfather was on him when he was growing up. His grandfather instilled a strong work ethic, a connection to faith, and a sense of self-confidence in Gravely, forging the very core of his being.

All of us likely have a family member we look up to that we know helped make us who we are. That kind of love is something special, and something that lasts even after we’ve grown up and maybe even lost that person. Gravely sings “he’s already gone, but I see him around,” because he knows his grandfather will always be with him, even if it’s not in the physical sense.
