Joel Pott - vocals, guitar Carey Willetts - bass, vocals Tim Wanstall - keyboards, vocals Steve Roberts - drums, vocals In 1999 Joel, Carey, Steve and Tim stopped playing around in other bands and got serious about Athlete.

Kind regards ;). But this is the most loveable tune that makes us have the memory of the sunday 3rd march 09 in the spare double bed at the party! Amazin! xx I have never heard the same song all day long | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete This is the only song which is still playing as a I write this. Apart from the lyrics, I like the way the enveloping sound comes and goes. It is his voice is forcing a musical instrument to wake up now and then. Also one of the instruments is deliberately out of tune. The song should be set on loop, then the key should be thrown away. beautiful grandaughter, always..... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete i will never forget this song my son and his partner chose it when entering the church for the funeral service of their 11 day old daughter VIOLET HOPE born 13/04/05. It makes you so thankful for what we have and should never take anything for granted. Love this | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Half Light performed by Athlete Its such an amazing song - never fails to cheer me up! Whenever I hear it, it reminds me of the times my boyfriend has been on holiday and we have had to talk on the phone alot more than usual. Makes me realise how lucky I am to have him and its the only real love song I adore. Brings a tear | Reviewer: John (Aged 34) ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete I've always liked this song, but it suddenly dawned on me today, what it was about. Like somebody below my children were born full term, but not completely free of drama and now the songs makes me want to cry. Greatest song ever | Reviewer: Christopher ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete I cry everytime I hear this song, my brother told me about it and that it reminded him of my situation. My daughter had open heart surgery at 5mths old and this song expresses all the thoughts and emotions I felt. It is done so simply yet to the point, just genius! As '08 passes, I am greatfull to god for her health and well being and wish good health to all. Thanks Doctors at JMH Beautiful Song | Reviewer: Ruby ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete I didn't know that the lyrics of this song were about the lead singer's premature baby, but now I've read them through, it all makes sense. I love this song so so much, it brings a tear to my eye, even though I don't know anyone who was premature - but the song is just amazing! So beautiful | Reviewer: Steph ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and it makes me cry but I still want to hear it all the time. I think the lyrics are just so beautiful and I think it's lovely how it managed to touch so many people's hearts. I think that the guitar and melody are simple in the background, so it makes his words more powerful and so strong. wow this is real emotion and close to me and my wife | Reviewer: jase ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete my son finley was born 27th december 2006 at 30 weeks (10 weeks prem) (around the time this song was out(?) and everytime i hear it i sob. after two or three months in hospital my wife gave birth to our son at 09:18 via emergency c-section. he weighed 3lb2oz and was not breathing but was taken to resuss and soon i heard tiny screems. he then was taken to special care baby unit. and placed in intensive care, where a profesional special care nurse was there all the time. me and my wife didnt have a clue what had happened and what had happened to the baby we had waited so long to meet!!!!!!! after around thirty or forty minutes a nurse came and said that the baby was ok and was in special care unit and i could visit him when i was ready,however because my wife had lost a lot of blood and the drugs and all would have to remain in bed. i plucked up enough corage and went to the special care unit and because i have never visited one before or had any experiance of a highly sensative medical enviroment had to get all the rules explained to me before i could entre,all i wanted to see was my son for the first time. when i actually met him i could see very little, he had a eye mask on and was under ultra violet light for jaundice. he had a mask on for ccpap (continuous air pressure) for his under develped lungs a canular in his leg for taking blood samples, on his other leg a strap around foot with a sencer for blood gas and heart rate mointer a tube up his nose for draining bile out his stomach and a array of cables of tubes in and out of his incubater i was left alone (apart from the bleep and hisses from all the alarms and machinery) for ten or so minutes i never felt so scared and felt so helpless in all my life. i just wanted to tuck him into my coat and run away so he would not have to suffer any more but i knew that if i did it would end in tears.when it was explaind what all the equipment and what they was doing to him it did not seem as bad and became accustomed to his daily rituals . the next day my wife was able to visit him she was petrified as well, we was by his side most of the day from 7am till 8-9 pm and my wife would come at 2or 3 in the morning, because she had to stay in hospital for 3 or 4 weeks after he was born. this went on for weeks after after 2 weeks in the intensive room his incubater was moved to the special care nursery where about 6 or 7 other babys where, in various stages of health (strength).as time progressed the more the canulars and monitors came off and the more we could do for him and more we could hold and dress and do what all parents do for there babys but it was harder to leave him in the hospital but the next day if he went backwards he might have to go back on oxegen and therefore needs the monitors some times we went backwards and some forward. at one point they told us his raticulisites where not working and there for he would not make white blood cells so would need a full blood trasfusion and gave him two days to hopefully let his raticulisites kick in and the morning they were going to do the blood transfusion they kicked in on there own amazing what a lot of fingers crossed can do!!!!!!!!! after about 4 or 5 weeks old finley was put in a cot with a high tech hot water bottle and just his blood gas /heart rate machine and was doing well on febuary 14th 2007 finley came home. he is nearly two now and is amazing, funny , loving and into every thing this song makes me sob, it make me remember how small, hopeless and fragile our lives can be from what is suppose to be a joyus affair can turn your life upside down, and meeting your first born can be an dounghting and atruly emotional rollercoaster but some times it works out good Things can never be the same | Reviewer: Merlyn ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete I love this song, so with this verse you might understand how sad songs effect us all... Im sorry it inst a reviwe more how it meant to me and im sure to many othe peole too....thank you! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I thoght I had it all, who could want for more Her family passed to me the call The news I heard was for real That night she told me cancer had returned A few short weeks upon this earth, stil remain lifes unfair 'terminal' that she will die But how can you live with awful pain I questione with the Lord, but why. Knowing soon youll never meet again 'Wires from your skin' Drgs, Doctors try in vain Tubes and machines,to ease the pain but it wont be long now. someone did explain I knew then we would never talk and love again memories of how things used to be Now ten years has past for me with this song I still can see, I loved her so, didnt want her to die The words of this song still make me cry. For Angela. 1998. Very touching song! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete Reminds me of when my son nearly died at 21 weeks while i was still pregnant with him, we had to have a blood transfusion the scariest time of my life but thank god he pulled thru hes now 7 months old and as healthy as can be!! awesome song!! great song | Reviewer: sara ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete this song just reminds me of how things got really hard when my best friend was going through a hard time. "There's dry blood, on your wrist" that just reminds me of how i found her self harming in the loos. everytime i hear this song it makes me cry and how i could have lost her :/ Good song! | Reviewer: Suzie ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete Im 14 years old. I had an athsma attack when I was around 2 years old, they gave me this drug (i dnt no what its called or how to pronounce it) but I was allergic to it and i was paralysed on one side and was kept alive by a machine. I have pictures from when I was connected to it and everything becuase the doctors thought I was going to die, but I came through, I have some disablities now but Im getting better. I sometimes get teased but I get a long fine, this song reminds my family of when I was little, But its a good song tho! xx Outstanding | Reviewer: Andy ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete I will never be a father. I am so in love with a girl who, after much deliberation, has told me that she doesn't want kids. I feel a little let down since she was the one who originally got me around to the idea. Time is ticking and soon the chance will go, but I love her so much that I am more than willing to sacrifice having children just to be with her. This song makes me think of the challenges of becoming a Dad and how I wish I had the opportunity. Best not to think about it | Reviewer: Allisyn ------ About the song Best Not To Think About It performed by Athlete The name says it all. I think this is a great song, not only is the music great, but the lyrics truly mean something. Things happen that will hurt people but if you're willing to live past it.. then It's Best Not To Think About It. Great song My son | Reviewer: Taff Evans ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete Reminds me of the battles we had to keep my prem son alive in and out of hospital, he was born with severe cp and lived for 18 months. Best 18 months ever. 12 yrs on and he is still as strong as ever in my heart. Thanks Athlete, an awesome song. Thank you for bringing me hope | Reviewer: Kristin ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete I'm a 15 yr old girl and I was born premature. All the doctors didn't expect me to live. And they thought if I did I would be in a wheel chair with cp or mentally retarded. I am so lucky and this song reminds me, of how thankful I am to be alive and to walk.I have a lot of disabilities but that just makes me stronger, I can walk talk and live but when things get hard I think about what I have instead of what I don't have. Thanks for reminding me every time I hear this song how truly special the gift of life is! -Kristin this song helps me understand | Reviewer: jess h ------ About the song Half Light performed by Athlete this song is jus so great its helped me no end i think of my partner or he wud be if i had my own way hes jus so wonderful i love him to bits but he cant think straight at the mo so has called off any immediate chance of a relationship i love the way he kisses me so gently i miss him at the moment seeing as hes jus ended with this other girl n now i guess he thinks hes done the wrong thing n tht hurts me but anyway this song helps me understand that i am not the only one hu still has the taste of the a lover lingering n fading n no matter how hard u try it doesnt change anything. wen were together thou things are great its like we make the most of things together but afterwards he a second thoughts.
