Oh boy, this was harder than I thought it was going to be

Struggled with the harmonies here but heck I won't be doing those on the day

WARNING - SWEARY WORDS. This was my absolute peak as a theatrical composer and musical director (in fact the only time I've been given those jobs) in 1988 for shows in Sheffield and Edinburgh. Lyrics by Caryl Churchill. Dodgy recording/playing/singing by me.... intended originally for the performers so they could learn the songs

My Heart initial demo... bum note in the bassline towards the end... little song I wrote after watching baby Joey wake up one morning 

MyHeart

Happy Valentine's Day from Joey (guesting on ukulele) and me (complete with vague rock ending)
