Song Meaning of “Great Balls Of Fire – Outtake – Live At The International, Las Vegas/1970” by Jerry Lee Lewis
This live recording of Jerry Lee Lewis’ classic hit “Great Balls of Fire” is a raw and powerful performance full of energy and passion. The song may be about the intensity and intensity of the singer’s love – overflowing like the titular great balls of fire – but it can also be seen as a metaphor for the artist’s spirit and drive to perform and create. It is a defiant and unapologetic celebration of the music and the artist’s commitment to it. The sheer intensity of his playing – featuring his signature hit-and-run honky-tonk piano style and huge vocal range – reflects the fire that burns within him to express himself creatively. As he sings of the heat of his love, he could just as easily be singing of the fire in his artistic spirit, pushing ever forward to new heights of musical expression.
