"House on Fire" comes from Wolves, Rise Against's eighth studio album. It first slipped out as a pre-release buzz track in 2017, and in January 2018 it went to alternative radio as the album's second single. Nick Raskulinecz produced it, with Tim McIlrath singing and playing guitar alongside Zach Blair, Joe Principe on bass and Brandon Barnes on drums.
On first listen it plays like a classic love-and-loss song, but McIlrath has explained that it's really about becoming a parent, and about how raising a teenage daughter blows up any notion that you've got the world figured out. A pounding drum-and-guitar drive carries most of it, easing off now and then to let his raspy bark take over.
