I See Fire

"I See Fire" is Ed Sheeran's 2013 commissioned track for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug soundtrack. The song plays over the film's closing credits and showcases Sheeran's fingerstyle acoustic approach with emotional depth. Its cinematic arrangement and melodic structure make it an engaging piece for intermediate electric guitar players exploring storytelling through instrumental dynamics.

  • Sheeran wrote and recorded most of the track on the same day after watching the film.
  • The song was suggested by Peter Jackson's daughter, Katie, who recommended Sheeran to the director.
  • Originally composed as an acoustic piece, it translates well to electric guitar with fingerstyle techniques.
