That was 4 years ago. Since then, heβs played around 200 shows in cities all over the UK, toured Germany twice, Ireland once and played 8 shows in Russia. Fondest memories include; a crowd of 50 people in a Berlin living room, a sold out venue in St. Petersburg, a folk festival in Vienna and 4 people in a living room in Bath. He has performed at such prestigious venues as Brightonβs Pressure Point, Camdenβs Dublin Castle and Proud Galleries and headlined Londonβs legendary Hope and Anchor.
anthony.love has an entirely DIY approach. Up until now, his career has been completely independent, he designs flyers, t-shirts and CD artwork, runs his own website, books trains, flights, studios and his own shows. He has self-produced and self-released 3 EPs, 2 of which are now sold out. These releases were very well-received, with reviewers calling him βa champion of acoustic melodramaβ (Herts and Essex Music-Zine) and βan effortless but perfect alternative singer-songwriterβ (Kissing Just For Practice Zine). Alongside this, his name has appeared in the pages of The Londonpaper, The Fly and NME.
In December 2010 anthony.love went into the studio to record his debut single, βSebastianβs a Killerβ. The finished product will be released in spring 2011. It will be followed by the recording of a debut album in July/August 2011, with release expected in early 2012.
Heartbeats
anthony.love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We stole from the night
The soft rushing heartbeats
Of love at first sight
Perfume is drifting
In the cool breeze
The dance of two hands
Eager to meet
Ring out on the street
Cause kisses and heartbeats
Don't know how to lie
They're watered with tears
And bloom in the night
Cause kisses and heartbeats
Don't know how to lie
How to lie
How to lie
So let's take a step
In this first dance
Of kisses and heartbeats
Embracing by chance
Because maybe fate
Is too much of a word
Just two random passengers
Caught in a whirl
A kiss and two heartbeats
Entwined in a curl
Cause kisses and heartbeats
Don't know how to lie
They're watered with tears
And bloom in the night
Cause kisses and heartbeats
Don't know how to lie
How to lie and
How to lie and
How to lie and
The lyrics to this song are describing a moment when two people meet, possibly by chance, and feel an immediate connection. The sound of their kiss is stolen from the night and the rush of their heartbeats is soft but palpable.

The chorus emphasizes the honesty and purity of kisses and heartbeats, which cannot lie and only bloom in the night. The two people are encouraged to take a step into their first dance, embracing each other by chance, as they are just two random passengers caught in a whirl.
This song is essentially about the power of love and the strong physical and emotional reactions that can come with it. The use of sensory language such as the sound of the kiss and the scent of perfume is effective in communicating the feeling of being swept up in a moment of passion. The repeated chorus emphasizes the honesty and purity of love, which cannot be falsified or faked. The lyrics exude a sense of optimism and hope that this connection between two people will last and continue to grow.
