}} "Kerosene" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Miranda Lambert. It was released in September 2005 as the third single and title-track to her debut album of the same name. The song is about a break-up, where the narrator has enough with her boyfriend and starts burning his stuff with kerosene. It reached number 15 on the Hot Country Songs charts, becoming Lambert's first Top 20 country hit. It also peaked at number 61 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The working title of the song was "Kerosene (Loves Givin' Up on Me)". The accompanying music video for the song, directed by Trey Fanjoy, shows Lambert carrying a tin of kerosene and emptying out as a trail on the countryside that leads back to her ex-boyfriend's house, igniting the trail so the house burns down as well. The song was Lambert's first to be certified Gold by the RIAA on March 6, 2006. It also gave Lambert her first Grammy nomination for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. ==Content== "Kerosene" is an up-tempo song in the key of D major that is backed with electric guitar and harmonica. The narrator, who is being cheated on by her boyfriend, expresses her being through with love; "I'm giving up on love / 'Cause love's giving up on me". Instead of letting him off easy, she takes revenge by burning down his house after soaking it in kerosene to ease the pain. Although Lambert singlehandedly wrote the song, she gave co-writer's credit to alt-country singer Steve Earle after others noted a similarity to his song "I Feel Alright." She said in an interview that she had unconsciously copied the melody and structure, saying "I didn't purposefully plagiarize his song -- but unconsciously I copied it almost exactly. I guess I'd listened to it so much that I just kind of had it in there." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=CMT News, Nashville Skyline: Miranda Lambert Hits Stride With New CD )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kerosene (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
