Name: Wire
Duration: P00H04M59S
Description: Wire is a softer song for the band, but very special. The music came first, which it often does. There’s a tension and a longing, a mood of delayed gratification. Lyrically, it brings to life the feeling of being with someone who is both difficult, yet irresistible. It’s a metaphor for sticking with a relationship that sometimes stings, and of putting yourself at risk emotionally.

lyrics

She’s an open wire
She’s the edge of my seat
She roars like an open fire
She’s a wild, young horse
That no one rides
And we walk this wire
We burn this fire
High above the city streets
We dance on a wire
We dance on a wire
She’s an ice lake dive
She’s a nervous child
She’s a caution sign
I feel alive
We walk this wire
Burn this fire
High above the city streets
We dance on wire
We dance
We walk this wire
Burn this fire
High above the city streets
We dance on a wire
We dance

about

Hearts On Speed New York, New York

Hearts On Speed started as a dare. Longtime friends and sometime songwriting partners David Yeend and Mark Galis Hall were challenged to write and record an original album in under a month.
