"3" is a love song with a mathematical side. The chorus lyrics of "I'm thinking 1 + 1 is 3 cause you and I were meant to be, and when I'm picking up the pieces from inside, that's when you'll multiply and I'll learn to divide" express the feeling that sometimes love just doesn't make sense but you know it's right and that person will always be there for you. The verses follow along the same line, infused with a distorted Seattle style rock riff that feels inspired by the likes of Audioslave, Royal Blood, QOTSA, a twanged out male rock vocal tells of being lost in the look for love "I'm divided, searching for the vertex of your love", and then finding the one "It's you that's had me spinning from the start". An up tempo song, delivered with pace, energy and dirty rhythm, the track features a heavy half time bridge section preceded by a vocal rap mimicking the catchy guitar riff. 

Lyrics;

I’m divided, searching for the vertex of your love
You multiplied it, bigging up the volume from above
Feel it way down low, triangles won’t know

I’m thinking one plus one is three
Cos you and I were meant to be
And when I’m picking up the pieces from inside
That’s when you’ll multiply and I’ll learn to divide

You decided, to ride the carousel inside your heart
I don’t mind it, it’s you that’s had me spinning from the start
Feel it way down low, circles wouldn’t know

I’m thinking one plus one is three
Cos you and I were meant to be
And when I’m picking up the pieces from inside
That’s when you’ll multiply and I’ll learn to divide

All of your love, all all of your time
All of the night, all all of of the time
All of your love, all all of your time
Every you, every me
All of your love, all all of your time
All of the night, all all of of the time
All of your love, all all of your time
Every you, every me

I’m thinking one plus one is three
Cos you and I were meant to be
And when I’m picking up the pieces from inside
That’s when you’ll multiply and I’ll learn to divide

"3" is the first track on BLACKHEARTS latest record “THREE” (July 28th 2014 release) which was inspired by a chance encounter with a particularly memorable looking rock chick. Whilst onstage at LA’s Whisky a Gogo during a solo US tour, BLACKHEARTS singer ANDY was so dazzled by her astonishing look that he was compelled to release a record in her honour! Using the idea of what rock chicks dance to for his muse, he formed a line up with STUART on guitar, FREDDIE on bass, and ARTURS on drums to complete the band named after his favourite Camden rock venue!
