Wind in the Wires

I think it's a love song to the female mother nature, and the enviroment under the pressure of industry and pollution.

the reference to a bird in an avery, is perhaps a metaphore of how man has harnessed nature, and taken away it's origional purpose of beauty

This song is so beautiful. Patrick Wolf, he is so insidious..but in the best way. he is the only musician where i want to know what is behind the lyrics. if i had to choose, i would think this is about making love. whatever it is. i love him.

i suck

what was that about? haha

This Song Is A Love Song For Electricity

"I think something that hasn't been covered in a lot of the interviews with this record is that the title track to Wind In the Wires is a love song to electricity. There's not so much electronics on the album, but there's a lot of electricity-- buzzing noises, low frequency noises, and stuff. Radio static, kind of analog noises.

The song is a realization that electricity is just another element. A lot of people have asked me "Why aren't you doing so much electronic stuff?" To me, there's never been a difference between electronic and acoustic. I've always had this idea that electricity is another element like wind or fire or water. There's lightning, for god's sake! An electronic instrument is just harboring a natural element the same way that a guitar is harboring an acoustic element. It's all nature, really."

There is a book by Chales Dickens I cant remember what its called but it repeats the phrase wind AND the wires quite a bit.

The book is a horror story about a ghost and a train wreck.

If it has anything to do with this I dont know.

I love the idea of the "love song to electricity." it's tremendously longing and romantic. Something about this song is also very heavy and sexual.

Wow. What a song, I get shivers every time I listen to it.

I love the idea that it's a love song to electricity. Patrick is such a genius.
