Wild heart lyrics saint raymond3/9/2024 The same marriage of textures and soundscapes accompanies every track with songs like ‘Don’t Fail Me Now’ and ‘Come Back’ morphing into the same entity. With relatable lyrics and an easy going structure, this song has day time radio play written all over it. It would not be hard to envisage title song ‘Young Blood’ soundtracking the wild marauding of teenage girls.
