High heels way up high


Kimbra's song WANDERING LIMBS was in part inspired by a filmic reference, "Man On Wire",
 a documentary film that chronicles Philippe Petit's 1974 high-wire walk
 between the Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Center.

"One day, when producer François Tétaz felt Johnson's vulnerability was unconvincing for a particular lyric, he ascertained she had a fear of heights, drove her to Eureka Tower in the heart of Melbourne and sent her to the transparent viewing platform, almost 300 metres up on the 88th floor."
