Old Dominion New Album 10/8

 

Keith Urban Wild Hearts

 KEITH URBAN’S NEW SINGLE “WILD HEARTS” GOES OUT TO THE “Drifters, Dreamers, Wild Cards, And Wild Hearts”



“Wild Hearts” speaks about what inspired Keith as a young boy (a Johnny Cash concert with his father)

LYRIC: “Saw the man in black, spotlight in the air, heard a thousand screams, saw my dad’s stare”

 

It speaks to those that doubt, and how he’s fought to achieve his dream

LYRIC: “Has anyone ever told you you’ll never amount to anything? You’re just wasting your time chasin’…”

 

“Wild Hearts” is an inspiring message to others, that’s written with context from Keith’s own story

LYRIC: “I’m here to tell you anything can happen in this life if you got the heart and the passion and a God lit fire inside”

  

“I’m here to tell you anything can happen in this life if you got the heart and the passion and a God lit fire inside,” sings four-time GRAMMY Award winner Keith Urban on his new single “Wild Hearts,” released today.  The song is quintessential Urban.  This fist-pumping, arena-ready, rise-up against all odds anthem, “Wild Hearts,” is as musically intoxicating as it is infectious and relatable.  “Wild Hearts” is now available on all digital platforms and can be heard at to https://smarturl.it/wildhearts.ku or https://smarturl.it/WH.youtube.
