comment
Greek Fire is an American rock band originating in St. Louis, Missouri, formed in 2008 by Story of the Year guitarists Philip Sneed and Ryan Phillips, and Maybe Today members Johnny Venus and Mark Joseph Roth. The band was largely unknown outside the St. Louis area until late 2014, when their rock anthem "Top of the World" made an appearance in the trailer for Big Hero 6. Their music is heavily inspired by classic 1970's and 1980's arena rock and power metal acts, and their sound has been compared to everything from U2 to Black Flag. In the band's own words:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Principal Members Philip "Moon" Sneed - lead vocals, piano, rhythm guitar Ryan Phillips - lead guitar Johnny Venus - drums, percussion Mark Joseph Roth - bass guitar, backing vocals

Gratuitous Foreign Language: The bridge of "Under the Stars" contains a Pink Floyd-style loop of a woman speaking, appropriately enough, in Greek.

Uncommon Time: "Put Your Hands On Me" is a rare hard-rock number in 3/4 time.

Song Style Shift: "Under the Stars" begins as a soft ballad, then launches headlong into heavy metal.

New Media Are Evil: Or rather, people using New Media to Troll or as a means to feed their own egos in "A Real Life". Though the possibility of constantly being online ruining normal social interactions is addressed in the chorus.

comment
Lonely at the Top: "Top of the World" concerns one's journey to success, but also the resulting misery and loneliness that comes with it in the fight to make it there.

comment
Social Media Is Bad: A Real Life criticises social media addiction and how using it to substitute social interactions is crippling and an enablement of some really bad ideas.

Badass Bookworm: Evidently, guitarist and songwriter Ryan Phillips. "Under the Stars" contains numerous references to classical theatre, and "Top of the World" at one point references the work of John Milton.

Lyrical Dissonance: Frequently. The band's songs are ridiculously upbeat, yet often deal with subjects such as grief and personal sacrifice.
