“I Need a Forest Fire” is all about starting over – something in James' romantic relationship has gone awry and he believes a fresh start is the solution. Like a forest fire, his relationship is out of control, but after it has burned through, he is left with fresh, fertile ground and a new beginning. The track features lead singer Justin Vernon of indie rock band Bon Iver and was produced with help from notable producer Rick Rubin. Both collaborators have good relations with James.
