Lucky Heart © Vic Arnold 2014
V1
You act so arrogant, like you're invincible,
You think you're being hot but you ain't so cool.
Look at all the time you have wasted .....with your lying.
You took her happiness and left her ..... crying.
Now you have a chance to make it right.
ch
I think you got a lucky heart. Keep it with you.
Take care of your lucky heart. She forgives you.
V2
You played around a lot. She went along with you.
You think you're quite a catch but you are just a fool.
There's competition waiting ..... just round the corner.
Look over your shoulder ..... someone should ..... warn yah
you got one more chance to make it right.
ch
I think you got a lucky heart. Keep it with you.
Take care of your lucky heart. She forgives you.

Inst.
br
You came out tops this time but time's running out on you
ch
I think you got a lucky heart. Keep it with you.
Take care of your lucky heart. She forgives you.
Repeat chorus

I think you got a lucky heart
I think you got a lucky heart

Nice song with a great chorus. Vocals are always good. Loved the rhyming of 'corner' and 'warn ya.' Nice cautionary tale. Good work and happy holidays!

Nice attitude lyric and well delivered with your vocal and the band.
Good mix too.

Merry Christmas

Very poppy sounding tune... great vocals... Nice production too.

Vic,
Nice catchy tune! Very universal bed. Slow it down or speed it up, it feels like it easily can be "converted" to whole bunch of different genres. Good one! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Vic, super groove in this one!

Fantastic vocal and lyrics.

The backing tracks and mix are spot on.

Love those guitars!

Loved the song also.

Nice sound.

It got my attention when you ended the first line with "invincible", and I started wonder what you'd rhyme it with. "Ain't so cool" was clever.

I'm with Misha - nice pop.

Good title, too. My daughter came walking by as the chorus was playing, and asked "What's a lucky heart?"

I like it! laugh

This is a really cool song Vic.

I enjoyed it a lot.

The Neil Diamond phrasing in the verses is interesting.
The reverb on your voice sits it not quite in the mix but that suits the NDness really.
I don't think the solo guitar suits the song but that's always a toss up isn't it?
Good performance and recording.

I really like your vocals on this.

Catchy chorus.

Good production. The bass is a driving force in the mix.

All sounds good!

Yes, Neil Diamond would love this song. Not just because I do. hehe I really like the band, and your vocals are perfect. Nice solo, too. Well done all around, Vic.

Petty meets Bowie and they go over to Dylan's house for a party.

Love this one, Vic.

Bob

Yes, it needed a driving bass.

Hi Vic,

A very nice song, catchy rhythm and well sung.
It is still circling in my head. That means it is good!

Happy new year,
Hans

Thank you.

Vic...I really like this song...love the driving bass and the instruments you chose...great hook and the harmonies on the chorus really bring the vocals to life...by the way great vocal...you've probably been told a million times that you have a Neil Diamond vibe in your voice ( I hope that's a compliment....it's meant to be)...thanks for posting and/or reposting this...it was worth it!
Posted By: vicarn Re: Lucky Heart - 12/31/21 09:08 AM
Thank you Firesong. I like some of Neil Diamond. More so the not so well known stuff.
Someone told me once, years ago that I had a crooner's voice. Never thought of it being that myself.

Thanks again,
Vic
