'there is a reason...why even the angels...don't give up at all...don't blame it on me...blame it on my wild heart...'

God Bless Marvin..You have created a loving tribute to him.
I'm sure he smiles upon you..always.

I love how this song begins. The lyrics, the vocals. It's a great opening to the record. I like the rest of the song but the intro is the part that I really love. I think the song could be shorter.

Another one I love from stevie! Its great!

Fantastic song. I think this blows Bella Donna (the song) outta the water. The lyrics, the music, the singing are all great. If anything I wish it could be longer, or maybe have Stevie start really letting go earlier in the song. The last minute or so is one of my favourite parts of any Stevie song.

OMG..this song is incredible. Wild Heart and TISL are two of Stevie's best works and are far superior to all of her other opening tracks.
The song Wild Heart has simply stunning vocals and the delivery? Holy Hell. The entire album is a masterpiece.
Nope, I do not think this song is about Kim. I think there is alot about Stevie's life in the post BellaDonna era that we fans are unaware of. The WH album deals with the loss of Robin but also the pain and disillusionment of losing something else. I honestly do not think there was an ounce of intimate love between Kim and Stevie and some of the lyrics in WH, the song, are incredibly personal.
"fire on fire, rain on my face
fever goes higher, what can you do?
Wild in the darkest places of your mind,
That where I needed you, when I needed you most"

These lines are not about Robin and I do not think she felt anything remotely this strongly about Kim. Fire? Fever? Rain? That is some kind of intense passion.
Plus the "blame it on me". The word "blame" really jumps out at me.

I do too! I've worn mine so much it's falling apart....though I did recently trade for a replacement for when I can no longer wear the old one Those shirts are awesome though. I need the navy blue one.

I gave it 4 hearts. It is really such an epic song and and amazing vocal, but its juts not a huge huge favorite of mine.

Yep, it's "Bella Donna" all over again, but a little wilder, especially with that powerful vocal at the end (easy to agree with others here). My favourite of all of her album openers.

five <3's. Love it.

[Serendipity]

LOVE IT. The lyrics are all amazing, the music is fantastic. I love the way Stevie's voice sounds like it *might* crack during "fire on fire...rain on my face". Its sad and powerful and beautiful and so much else all at the same time.

Can you tell that I love it? LOL.

p.s. I always have and always will sing "damn my wild heart"

I totally adore this song - it's one of my favorites!!!

I was just glad she wasn't opening an album with the words "phony" and "pony"....But I definately like the song...It's a song that I listen to more than sing along to. There is a message there. And her vocals are great...classic Stevie.
