This Heart

Liner Notes

“This Heart” - #fawm 50/90 2024 song 37

More lyrics from last summer that have been waiting for a melody all this time. I don’t remember what the prompt was. I used the #2chord challenge to play with this draft, and ended up with just two chords at the end of it (which is unusual for me).

I think the melody will still shift and solidify a little bit, but this is getting to where I like it, so I thought I would share a demo.

14 lyric-only drafts from 2024 left to finish…

Lyrics

Hit the courtyard cookout with a bottle of wine
You didn’t show, it was a hell of a time
A neighbor on guitar without a strap
Played music like the soundtrack to a trap

I got a fever
Sleepless nights
My head, my stomach, putting up a fight
Applying herbs and saying prayers
It’s done before it starts
You said that you could heal this heart

Back at home too late and the bottle’s drained
I’m still alone and my bones won’t sit straight
I’m rounding on the reason for my pain
It’s sounding like you won’t be back again

CHORUS

Who’s gonna sew me up? Not you
Maybe I’ll ask the doctor to
Just suture through my cells and molecules
I know our diagnosis
Like the back of my prognosis

CHORUS X2

Lovely!!!! I find it fascinating how unique songs can be even with just two chords. Great job.

@dr_griff 4w

Good use of the two-chord structure! You've done well getting a melody and a chorus to weave in and around these very simple chords. Well done - good effort!

@steveodell 6w

a lovely song! well done

melodies come when they want to and this was worth the wait. i like the structure and the occasional rhyme style really hits well. nice flow on line lyric. good song.

@jamkar 6w

You did it! Great bonus ballad lyrics. "Just suture through my cells and molecules." Well done New York!

@barkstales 6w

I really like the metaphors. Seems like you really put a lot of thought into the construction list of voice and ukulele man some pretty good.

@sunfire 6w

Good sounds. Enjoyed your singing and playing. Well done.

@dragondreams 6w

This works so well with just the simple accompaniment allowing the song to really take centre stage. I really like what you've done with just two chords here.
