Singled Out: Jason Reeves' Helium Hearts (Top Story)

08/21/2010
.
Singled Out: Jason Reeves' Helium Hearts was a top 10 story this week . Here is the recap: Welcome to Singled Out! where we ask artists to tell us the inside story of their latest single. Today Jason Reeves tells us about "Helium Hearts," which was released this week and comes from his forthcoming new album "The Lovesick". We now turn it over to Jason for the story:

This song is a fairytale set on fire. It is a daydream lit by the brightest sunbeam on earth. And I was madly in love with at least the idea of love when I wrote it, seen hiding in the eyes of the ghost of a gorgeous girl. I always write when I'm burning alive. Whether it's in pain or bliss or bewildered confusion. The idea of having helium hearts is a very simple but hopefully powerful metaphor for the way falling in love seems to lift us up and away from the madness of this world. To a place where everything is as surreal and mysterious as it ever could be. It's as if we're floating up into the sky away from a city that is being engulfed in silence by flames.

We're looking down at the beautiful chaos and disintegration knowing that we figured out how to escape. Just barely in the last possible perfect moment. And I hope for this song to give people that feeling of floating up towards a light and away from any sort of darkness. Every song is real and is inspired directly from the most tumultuous and fragile of all my emotions. My songs are rare survivors from a battlefield that changes every war. They are gifts found drifting on the wandering wind. And I feel like I'm only reflected in the pool of each one of them like an illusion that could be lost. This song is for love and its miraculous potential to heal and save and revive our hearts again and again..

A little more background on Jason, he co-wrote 10 tracks on Colbie Caillat's platinum debut Coco, including the hit singles "Bubbly" and "Realize," as well as 10 tracks on the deluxe edition of her album Breakthrough, including current hit single "I Never Told You." Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and grab tour dates and - right here!
