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

Review about Athlete
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!

Mistake in Lyrics for "Shake Those Windows" | Reviewer: Tim
------ About the song Shake Those Windows performed by Athlete
The line as published on this page "songs and songs and beats and rums in life" should be:
"psalms and songs and beats and rhymes in life"
as per the band's own website.

"Wires" is a song by the British rock band Athlete from their second album, Tourist. It was released 17 January 2005 as the lead single from that album, peaking at #4 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2005 in British music).
The song was written by lead singer Joel Potts, about his daughter who was born prematurely.
"Wires" was one of the first tracks available in iTunes Plus, after EMI and iTunes launched the new format on May 31, 2007

------ About the song Wires performed by Athlete
What a lovely song. Please tell me what it is all about. Have read on your website that is about child born early but video tells more. Have not asked this before of any song but this haunts me, lovely. Even at 58-years I think I may become the oldest follower of a band. Thanks again for your lovely music.

I watch TLC a lot and they always play previews for Diagnosis X with this song in it and it always makes me want to cry when I see the baby with a breathing mask over him and the mother being dragged away.
I have a 3 1/2 month old so it makes me really emotional.
Anyway, good song!!
