It's all about #TheElementsOfFive for today's #ThursdayFiveList. Air, Water, Earth, Fire and Metal - five elements, five songs.

I'm not reaching too far, just going with whatever comes to mind, as long as it's a good song.

1. World on Fire / Dolly Parton
I just listened to this last night. Kind of an amazing song, coming from Dolly Parton. "Greedy politicians present and past/ wouldn't know the truth if it bit 'em in the ass." And singing those last couple of lines a cappella in her quiet little voice is powerful:
"Liar, liar, the world's on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down"
