  • Heart And Soul by T’Pau

    Heart And Soul by T’Pau

    You know, I remember this as a kid. I really liked this song and I have no real idea why. It’s Heart and Soul by T’Pau. These are the lyrics and I’ve linked the video too.

    Heart and Soul Lyrics

    Something in the moonlight catches my eye
    The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
    Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so
    Give me love, give me heart and soul
    You never let me cross to the other side now
    I’m tied to the hope that you will somehow
    Hard on the heels of something more
    But I lost your love, heart and soul

    The tear in my heart as you walk on by (more than an ocean)
    I feel so low and your head is high
    Everything you do convinces me more, please (keeps us apart)
    Give me love, give me heart and soul
    Looking to the day when I saw your face (I feel a tearing in half of my heart)
    I wasn’t in the running, I wasn’t in the race
    You move in a way that I’ve known before
    Now I want your love, heart and soul

    leaving you ain’t easy now (Tired eyes, tears that dried)
    loving you’s the harder part (On the bed, on the pillow, where the love has died)
    you never want me for myself (A turn of the key, through the door you go)
    now I’ve needed you right from the very start (Don’t look back, to hurt me more )
    (Everything you said was to the point)
    oh won’t you even try to (Can’t you try to)

    Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
    Give a little bit of love to grow
    Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
    And don’t you make me beg for more (must I beg you)
    Give a sign, I need to know
    A little bit of heart and soul

    Walking on the water, walking on the air (a walk on the water)
    That was the heart of the love we shared
    Do you keep secret left untold (is all that I need)
    Can’t give love, heart or soul
    I used to have a lover with a Midas touch (but miracles are not happening)
    I turned to gold but he turned to dust
    Left me for another, I turned to stone
    Now give me love, heart and soul
    [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/heart-and-soul-lyrics-t-pau.html ]

    living in a fantasy (Tired eyes, tears that dried)
    there’s never any room to breathe (On the bed, on the pillow, where you told your lies)
    hoping every waking hour (A turn of the key, my blood runs cold)
    you’ll turn around and say that we can start (Don’t look back to hurt me more)
    (Everything you did just said it all)
    oh won’t you even try to (Can’t you try to)

    Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
    Give a little bit of love to grow
    Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
    And don’t you make me beg for more (must I beg you)
    Give a sign, I need to know
    A little bit of heart and soul

    Somehow, I lost my way
    Looking to see something in your eyes
    But love will never compromise
    Now this is the politics of life, yeah!

    Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
    Give a little bit of love to grow
    Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
    And don’t you make me beg for more (must I beg you)
    Give a sign, I need to know
    A little bit, little bit

    Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
    Give a little bit of love to grow
    Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
    And don’t you make me beg for more (must I beg you)
    Give a sign, I need to know
    A little bit, little bit

    Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
    Give a little bit of love to grow
    Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)
    And don’t you make me beg for more (must I beg you)
    Give a sign, I need to know, whoooah!
    Give a little bit of heart and soul
    Give a little bit of heart and soul

  • Finally Song Eighteen Is "I Miss"

    Finally Song Eighteen Is "I Miss"

    Doling out the news… That’s what’s happening. Since the last post about song seventeen, I’m now on the final leg of the preproduction stage. That’s the word finally song eighteen is “I Miss”.

    The song underwent a bit of a transformation. I changed the rhythm of the piano part. In a way it’s a bit more simplified. It also changes it from feeling too much like a song from the 80’s in it’s rhythmic value on the piano.

    Lyrically it has stayed the same. I’m positive they were right the first time.

    Vocally is where the most change happened. I’ve added an insane amount of vocal harmony. Think Queen, if you’re familiar with them. It’s going to be vocally HUGE. It will be interesting to see how it vibes out in the studio with extra singers on it. I’m thinking it will have somewhere in the neighborhood of 160 tracks of vocal harmonies. Big big big.

    There it is. The last song on the list for the new CD/release. Song eighteen is called “I Miss”. Now it’s a matter of hunting down that investor money. Once that happens, I’ll be heading into the studio and pumping out these tracks with pure awesomeness.

    Stay tuned for another update in a few days.

  • Song Sixteen Finalized Is Stand My Ground

    Song Sixteen Finalized Is Stand My Ground

    Productive day yesterday. Got a lot of calls made. Emails sent. Even got to finally sit with a bit of a tune and spruce it up. That would be why I can say song sixteen finalized is Stand My Ground.

    This particular song underwent a slight transformation. I had to tweak a few of the lyrics. I felt it needed a little more cohesion in the presentation of the words. It’s now got that. Such that it remains universal and personal at the same time. Without being overly vague. Though it still has a strong sense of metaphor. Which is to say, I hope it’s not too clever in it’s telling of a story now.

    The arrangement got shortened a little. I decided it didn’t need the Pre Chorus going into the second Chorus. It appears only before the first Chorus.

    Sonically, I’ve made my notes of things that I wish to have happen once I hit the studio to be recording the final version. In the meantime, I’ll be sitting down to song 17 today, it’s got very minor tweaks. Who knows I might be announcing it tomorrow. Then I’ve saved the toughest song for last…

    For now, you’re in the know that the sixteenth song finalized is Stand My Ground. Have an awesome day!
