about

November 17, 2015
This is the only song that was written before the 2017 Nashville sessions. It was written in the wake of the shooting at the Eagles of Death Metal show at the Bataclan in Paris, the brutal terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 90 people. As a musician, I cannot fathom the horror; and as a citizen of the world, I was buoyed by the solidarity, everyone standing together in unity against hate and terror. It is this feeling of persistence despite that atrocity that fuels me and all of my work, and it’s the thing I want to leave behind and to cling to forever.

lyrics

We were born with wild hearts

Blood in our veins like an electric storm

We were wild right from the start

Then the cold wind came

And it trashed our night

Left a broken dream in a broken sky 

I know that it’s been hard

SO LET YOUR WILD HEART

BEAT LIKE THE DRUM YOU ARE

WE’LL ROLL LIKE THUNDER

THROUGH THE DARK

AND IF YOU SING WITH ME 

OH, DON’T STOP SINGING

WE’LL SHINE THE LIGHT

I KNOW WE ARE

I KNOW WE ARE

Don’t go getting cynical

It’s so easy to do when love runs cold

I know, cause I can do it, too 

You’re a drop of gold in a blackout world 

Oh you’re nothing less than so much more 
It’s true 

You know it’s true

Every little thing’s so heavy now

I know every little thing’s so heavy

But everything’ll work out perfect somehow

SO LET YOUR WILD HEART

BEAT LIKE THE DRUM YOU ARE

WE’LL ROLL LIKE THUNDER

THROUGH THE DARK

AND IF YOU SING WITH ME 

OH, DON’T STOP SINGING

WE’LL SHINE THE LIGHT

I KNOW WE ARE

I KNOW WE ARE

We were born with wild hearts 

Nothing can tear us apart 

We’re strong

And we still are

Wild Hearts
