Sleep Thieves - City Of Hearts by Sleep Thieves

..........youth, art, the pulse of the city. City of Hearts is a song to walk or dance to.
"If Gary Numan spawned a love-child with Niki And The Dove it would sound like this (CIty of Hearts)" Eddy Temple-Morris, XFM
”Bewitching, beguiling, dark-hearted…infectious, substantial noir-disco.. electropop” The Irish Times
"If they ever film a sequel to Nicolas Winding Refn’s hyper-stylish film Drive......Sleep Thieves should be on the short list for scoring duties"
Pigeons and Planes
“.....think wave-y-gothic vocals (Austra/Fever Ray/The Golden Filter) floating in and out from the dark to the bright side and back!"
Deer De Bois

City of Hearts
I felt that I was half alive
I counted 24, 25
I wanted,
I wanted not to be lonely but still alone
Walking slowly but nearing home
I wanted
I wanted

In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes

You’d say that it was true to form
I was wishing hard for a storm
I wanted,
I wanted to see storm clouds rushing by
In a dark, brooding, stormy sky
I wanted, I wanted

In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes
