Wire to Wire
Lead vocals: Man
Taal: Engels
Wire to Wire is een nummer van de Britse alternatieve rockband Razorlight uit 2008. Het is de eerste single van hun derde studioalbum Slipway Fires.
Frontman en schrijver Johnny Borrell was zo enthousiast over de regel "She lives on Disillusion Raw", dat hij van plan was om deze op zijn lijf te laten tatoeëren. "Wire to Wire" werd een grote hit in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het de 5e positie behaalde. In Nederland was het nummer iets minder succesvol met een 3e positie in de Tipparade; toch geniet het er tot op de dag van vandaag nog wel bekendheid. Succesvoller was het nummer in de Vlaamse Ultratop 50, waar het de 13e positie wist te behalen.
"Wire to Wire" is a song by English indie rock band Razorlight, written by singer Johnny Borrell, from their third album Slipway Fires. It was officially released as the album's first single on 27 October 2008. It was released for downloads digitally, however, on 26 September. The song is a piano-led ballad, described as "slow-burning".
The song marked the band's fourth UK top-five single and their fifth to chart in the UK top 10. It peaked at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart, and No. 3 in Germany and Austria. The song has also peaked No. 8 in Switzerland, No. 13 in Flanders, No. 23 in Ireland, and No. 71 in the Netherlands. It spent seven weeks in the UK top 100, less than each of the first three singles from the preceding album Razorlight. The accompanying music video was shot by Oscar nominated feature film director Stephen Frears.
The track was used as part of Burberry's introductory advertisement in its Fall/Winter 2009 collection.
