Lykke Li shared a cover of Johnny Cash's 1963 song “Ring of Fire.” the girl, the upcoming Netflix film starring Millie Bobby Brown and directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. She recorded her performance in one take with producer Andrew Sarlo. “You can feel that energy in the recording, so it's a very important process for me to keep it alive and maintain the tension,” Lee said in a statement. Take a listen below.
“Ring of Fire” was written by June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore. “I was very inspired by June Carter,” she explained. “What I read is that she wrote this when they were married to other people and she was like, 'Shit, I'm about to fall in love and it's going to blow up and ruin my life.' But also there's no other way. So, there's this painful quality of falling in love. It's really… Like going into a ring of fire. And then I think the beauty of the song, which I also realized when I broke it down, is that the Johnny Cash version has a beat and all that other stuff. It's it. It could even be a lullaby. But that's true of every great song .It's a classic.Timeless.
Lykke Li's most recent album was 2022 eye.
