Hi, all:

Well, I’ve been taking an unintentional sabbatical from music making . . . and by that I mean only that the well has been pretty dry creatively and the motivation lacking, LOL!. Between that, some fall travel, and a head cold that just doesn’t seem to want to go away, I haven’t been very present on the board these past couple (or few) months. Hoping to make amends.

Thankfully, though, I have a handful of collaborators that help keep me in the mix, and there will be at least two coming in the short term . . . and maybe a couple more by year’s end. We’ll see. But this is the first: a collaboration with a frequent collaborator, Christian Devienne. Christian wrote the music, I penned the lyrics, and my head cleared just enough last weekend for me to lay down these vocals.

I hope you enjoy the listen. I’m determined to spend some time catching up on many of your posts these next few days. The ones that I listened to this evening were stellar (but no surprise).

Here’s the song:

HEART CHANGE

Here are the lyrics:

So I’ve fallen off my feet
Pick me up
Watch me weep
I still want you for myself
It’s so unjust
How you’re with someone else

I can only hope that something someday
Will come around and make a heart change

I’m in the thick of things
The doubt and hurt love brings
When it turns from something good to bad
I’m lost still needing you
Wishing you still need me to
‘Cause loving you was all I ever had

So I’m waiting on a sign
A little luck
A shift in time
To show me how I oughta grow
‘Cause I’ve been stuck
I need to learn to let you go

Is my only hope that something someday
Will come around and make my broken heart change

And here’s the band:

Actually, Christian will need to supply these in a separate post, as I don’t have the band details as of this posting.
