One Heart Whole

[Rightly]

I wrote this over 10 years ago. I don't know when exactly.
In the midst of an unhappy existence,
a creative dry patch and a lot of self doubt for the most part.

I really pushed to get this production right, and failed painfully twice.
There was something I liked about the song, and I playfully brought this production together to give away to someone who didn't really appreciate it.

My production skills have improved since my efforts here.
But this one did surprise me and remains a favourite.

I hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics:

One Heart Whole

there's a warm breeze
and many ways to survive
take your worries
and hang them out to dry
hear me if I'm not mistaken
forgive me all I know
many loves must be forsaken
to make just one heart whole
to make just one heart whole

your wily ways
all these secrets and lies
should have no place
in your heart or mine
any thorn can be misleading
and discolour the rose
left alone, distraught and needy
leave me any- anything but broke
to make just one heart whole

drop all defense, discard pretense,
relinquish resistance, be still

hear me if I'm not mistaken
forgive me all I know
many loves must be forsaken
to make just one heart whole
to make just one heart whole

there's a warm breeze
and many ways to survive

Frenetic production and reluctant vocals. I enjoyed this!
