St. Elmo's Fire (song)

St. Elmo's Fire (song)

:"For the theme to St. Elmo's Fire, see "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)"."St. Elmo's Fire" is the third song on Brian Eno's 1975 album, "Another Green World". The song is one of only four songs on the album that follow traditional song structure and are not pure ambient tracks. "St. Elmo's Fire" is keyed in C major and is upbeat. Joyful pianos and synths accompany clicking percussion and Eno's exuberant vocals. Guitarist Robert Fripp (of King Crimson fame), a longtime friend and collaborator of Eno's, contributes a guitar solo to the song. Legato, speedy and distorted, the solo stands at counterpoint with the piano lines. This particular solo is often considered to be one of Fripp's best.Fact|date=June 2007

In 1998, Ui and Stereolab collaborated as "Uilab", and released an album, "Fires", which consisted of four interpretations of "St. Elmo's Fire" and two other tracks.
