Story Behind The Song

This started out as a simple folk song on just the acoustic guitar. I then brought "Half A Heart" to the studio to hear it with more musicians, and it soon evolved into the sound it now has. It helps when everyone you play with likes the song.

Song Description

Lyrics

In the black of night it shines, although not as it once had, still got a lot of love and devotion, and compassion for his fellow man...he knows damn well not to do a fool thing, like asking, where she's been...half a heart...will shine...half a heart is strong than the pain sometimes endured, other half does keep the faith, and their love is assured...yesterday a boy met a girl...she was the image of Mary herself...but he was much too young and randy, with rapture in his own self...when that bird had flown and he was all alone, he was too weak, to ask why, half a heart...barely alive! half a heart adrift in time, wiser and aware, other half illuminates the tender smile she wears...(piano and guitar solos)...Tomorrow...just another word for pain...that sunrise on the horizon, bringin' on another day...but she ain't got time for no pain or self pity, as she works, her deeds of love! Half a heart, will shine...
