“I’ve always felt, since we recorded the original rock version, that Like a Fire was a song that people needed to hear,” says Devin. “With everything going on in the world, just turning on a news broadcast or opening a social media app can be overwhelming, but this song is a reminder that God’s truth and lessons remain. As I sing in the chorus — ‘You can’t stop this light from burning.’ I’m excited for everyone to hear the new version that we have on the string project, too. The quartet and the new arrangements are shedding a whole new light on these songs.”
