- Description: Solitude on one side, longing on the other, and a slow build that won’t say which wins

“Wings of Desire” is named after the 1987 German film by director Wim Wenders. I remember it as a slow, intense, almost hypnotic film from seeing it in a theater, and [**Mia Joy**](https://glamglare.com/artist/mia-joy?ref=glamglare.com)’s song shares some of those qualities: Mia’s voice hovers just above layers of droning guitars, and the slow build creates a careful sense of suspense.

Mia says:

> Seeing Wenders’ film for the first time helped me move internal static to words — one of those seminal moments in life where what you're watching mirrors life so dearly my only way to resolve myself was to write this song. I'm gravitated to lonely characters, solitude, longing. One of Star Echo Heavy Dove’s motifs is centered around balancing the tug of war between feeling satisfaction with being self-sufficient and the willingness to give that up for the vulnerability of expanding desire. There's a great message in there about living for all that life offers, letting yourself go even if you end up bleeding.

“Wings of Desire” is the first single from Mia Joy’s second album, [*Star Echo Heavy Dove*](https://glamglare.com/album/mia-joy-star-echo-heavy-dove?ref=glamglare.com), out January 15, 2027 via Fire Talk.
