"In the Rhythm of My Heartbeat" by Federico Gerhardt is a hauntingly beautiful slow blues track that resonates with the soul's deepest yearnings and sorrows. Gerhardt's mastery in voice and guitar brings to life a poignant narrative of love lost and the solitary comfort found in music.

The opening verse sets a melancholic tone, with Gerhardt walking in the rain, his shadow the only company, reflecting on a painful goodbye. The vivid imagery of raindrops tied to his soul paints a picture of deep emotional turmoil. The chorus amplifies this sentiment, portraying the blues as a solitary witness to his loneliness, with his guitar weeping for an irreplaceable love.

The electric guitar solo in the middle of the track is a standout, offering a moment of introspection and showcasing Gerhardt's exceptional skill. It's as if the guitar itself is lamenting, its strings echoing the ache of a broken heart.

The bridge and second verse delve deeper into the themes of longing and despair. The nights grow longer and colder in the absence of a loved one, and every note played is a reminder of what's lost. The imagery of searching for the beloved in the wind and stormy courses, only to find abandoned forces, is particularly evocative.

The concluding chorus speaks to the enduring presence of the blues in Gerhardt's life, providing strength and company in his solitude. The repeated line "Waiting for your return, in this waiting interlude" emphasizes the perpetual state of waiting and hope for reconciliation.

"In the Rhythm of My Heartbeat" is a testament to Federico Gerhardt's ability to weave complex emotions into his music, making the listener feel every note's weight. It's a slow blues masterpiece that echoes the timeless themes of love, loss, and the healing power of music.

This is my tribute to my friend Mike, who didn't wear his seatbelt that fateful day and died much too young.

Lyrics

Have you decided to go out and leave everything here?
Are you really sure about this or will you regret it?
And when you finally understand that you'll not find what you want
and when you finally understand that your nightmare is going on
Did you have a lot of time to plan the best way to escape
you betrayed the trust of all your friends
and those who loved you as well

And when you finally understand that you'll not find what you want
and when you finally understand that you've done so much damage
the vase is broken and your nightmare is going on
Did you have a lot of time to plan the best way to escape
(and) you betrayed the trust of all your friends
and those who loved you as well
And when you finally understand that you'll not find what you want
when you finally understand that your nightmare is going on
the vase is broken and your nightmare is going on
will you regret it?

Past Letters
By Kate Prendergast

Got a pain in my back 
From the weight on my shoulders
Been drinking with friends
Just to act a bit older
The weather was warm
But it’s getting colder
In the night

I stand there staring at the walls
Waiting for the one unwanted call
Trying to unlock the open door 
Somethings are worth waiting for

Got used to the voices 
But now they’re all gone
I’ve had my shot
But blew it for fun
And I know, and I know
And I know, life’s not done
All the lessons I’ve learned
Have been wrong

So I travel the world 
With just one thing in mind
Not to go grey before I find the time
To finally let go
Of the things I don’t know

The letters I wrote to my future self
I didn’t know this is all I’d amount to
If I’d know it back then
Would I do what I do?
