Athlete Lyrics


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. Four friends
since the age of fourteen, these ex-skate shop owners
(Joel), actuaries (Tim) and local gardeners (Carey and
Steve) took a wealth of fantastic, disparate influences and
started shaping them into something of their very own in a
rehearsal room on Deptford High Street. The rehearsal room

    ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete

The song isnt just about premature babies, it could be about so many things... like my little brother who was born with heart problems. He spent the first weeks of his life hooked up in a ventalator because he was too small to be operated on, dry blood where the needles and tubes were sticking into him all over the place. At 2 weeks old he had to go through 10 hours of open heart surgery. Me and my family heard this song on the way back from hospital after visiting him.. at christmas time! Crazy how relevant it was to us at the time.

    ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete

When I was 12 my mum tried to kill herself and was in hospital for months, this song is pretty much the soundtrack to my life for the past 7 years due to relapses and her being admitted back into hospital so many times. This song has helped me through a lot of things, it's auvh an inspirational song.

    ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete

When i first heard this song, it was a backing track on a tv show, i thought it was so beautiful i stopped watching, typed the lyrics in to google, found the song and downloaded it instantly. My first thought about the song was that it was about someone in love with a girl who was cutting. but hearing reviews here, i can see how people take it to be about prem. babies, i think you should take it any way it touches you.

    ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete

I always wondered if it was about a Premmy baby?it's a lovely song. My Son was prem and this was in the charts and played All the time when he was home. Made me weep buckets I can tell you esp. as it was Christmas when he came home (dec 20th)
Funnily enough my cousin has just had early Twins a few weeks ago & heard this on radio for first time in ages -spooky. Again cried like a drain.

    ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete

Actually I didn't know what this song really meant. It just had that tone that appealed to me a lot. After hearing where this song really came from made me appreciate this song even more. I should have had an elder sister but she died when she was born. Now I feel like crying as i type this review. I hope every child in the same case be at peace with God.

    ------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete

hey baby brother i hear this song and think of you
though we've never met, shared smiles,
i know the times our mum ran down those corridors to get back to you to get you to the doctors she done it with everything she had it wasn't your fault the doctors couldn't see what was wrong at the start,
it wasn't till too late they found out about your heart it wasn't strong enough to keep you here, after all the operations, after all the wires helping you, after all the medications, your heart beats faded now gone..... please don't be sad little one that you will never grow old your spirit is around us every moment of every day....
i know I'm sad that you cant be here but one day we will meet and it will be every thing it should have been today........ <3
Running, down corridoors through,
automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life,
curled up on your own
Looking at us now were still apart but not for long,
so for now just hold on
just hold on XoXo <3

Mixed Emotions | Reviewer: Dan Hazelden
    ------ About the song Tourist performed by Athlete

Always reminds me of waiting under some flight screens at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5. So excited cause i was going back home to New Zealand for 3 weeks. I fell for a girl but have to wait until the end of my A-Levels to go back so I have very mixed emotions about this song. It makes me happy but makes me sad as well. I still need to fight back some tears when I hear it but I know i'll be back home soon.
