Song #22 This Is The Sound (Of My Heart Breaking)
Download MP3 Here!
For some reason the title of this song jumped into my head yesterday. Of course, I have no idea why, it just did, but also - after you listen to the song - don't think I'm like hurting or anything, cause I'm not. I just thought this song fit these lyrics. I challeged my friend Karie to write a song with the same progression on her piano, and we thought a good theme for the song would be all the things that can go wrong in a relationship. Of course, as soon as I started writing my brain took on a life of it's own and this is what came out.
Now to write a song for my own challenge :)
This Is The Sound (of My Heart Breaking)
Words/Music by Matt Hopper
This is the sound of my heart breaking baby
I don’t know why you call
Hummingbirds, they have got the right idea
Still floating there when you fall
This couch, it has got a place for me
Where I’ll stay until I try
To lift up my heavy heart and find out
This world is still passing by
Across the wire, it’s flame and fire
when I talk to you
when I talk to you
I don’t want to answer
I’m a dead romantic
When I talk to you
When I talk to you
This is the sound of my heart gasping for air
In shock but no one knows
I had to find out from a friend or so I
Thought he was till I bled
It’s pain coursing through my head and now I
Need help from Uncle Sam
Cause I’m lost, out at sea and slipping under
These tears could fill the Hoover dam
This is the sound of my heart breaking

you're sense for melody i think has improved over the course of the month, too, matt. this one is really strong. i'd like to year it with more of a band, but stripped down (brushes on drums, etc). the descant at the end is sweet.
