Here’s the Rik Codero-directed video for “The Fire” from The Roots featuring John Legend, off their latest album How I Got Over, in stores now.
None of them appear in the video, and Codero explained:
“The Fire” is one of my favorite tracks off How I Got Over and really feels like something you’d hear in the theater. The line ‘you don’t say good luck, you say don’t give up’ inspired me to create a period piece narrative that stays true to the lyrics while adding another layer to the interpretation.
Hmm intresting…
so there are people making real music still – interesting concept and song
I like The Roots and John Legend, but…this video…WTF?
Definitely one of my favorite tracks of the album…the video was, dare I say, interesting….That Big Boi is “Fire” too

Dig the song. Watching the video reminded me of Gnarles Barkley’s song, can’t remember the name.
