Pip Brown, known by her stage name Ladyhawke, is a New Zealand singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
She has just released her third solo album “Wild things”, a catchy positive synthpop album.
New single is the title track, a delightfully synth-heavy uptempo pop ballad. It explores finding new love after heartbreak, and solidarity amongst friends, by setting the emotion against a “heartland” backdrop – “there’s a fire in the heartland / we dance it around it like the wild things in the night”.
The clip, directed by Youth Hymns and shot in London, is bathed in neon lights as the fiercest roller derby battle unfolds while Ladyhawke croons out her lyrics under the spotlight in the corner of the rink.
Lyrics:
There’s a fire in the heartland
We dance around it like the wild things in the night
There’s a fire in the heartland
We dance together like we’re wild things in the night
Your heartache is not forever
It’s another road that we walk together
And our lives become much stronger
As the world goes on much longer
I wandered far to find the answers
What keeps me alive while taking chances
When you’re almost always lonely
You forget to take it slowly
There’s a fire in the heartland
We dance around it like the wild things in the night
There’s a fire in the heartland
We dance together like we’re wild things in the night
Wild things in the night
We dance together like we’re wild things in the night
I met you in the midst of madness
You pulled me out then followed me in
To the night where we both wander
‘Til our world goes on much longer
I’m hoping for a light in the dark
It’s getting closer, it’s who we are
When we’re almost always lonely
We forget to take it slowly
There’s a fire in the heartland
We dance around it like the wild things in the night
There’s a fire in the heartland
We dance together like we’re wild things in the night
Smoke in the distance
It pulls me inside it
We dance round the fire in time
There’s a fire in the heartland
We dance around it like the wild things in the night
There’s a fire in the heartland
We dance together like we’re wild things in the night
Wild things in the night
We dance together like we’re wild things in the night
