Never free -- music in your blood ---  love this tune James !!

Sorry I missed this one.  You were clearly inspired here.  Wordsmithery at its finest, bravo!

This folk song is great with lovely melody - great presentation!

Not much time these days for "producing". I grabbed my trusty old Zoom H-1, did one take and added drums & bass. Now I'm free!


Gold Heart 2024 (James Eoppolo)

She let the gold heart fall from her slender right hand
Walked away never did see it land
Broken off the chain, like she's broken free
Well worth the gamble with no guarantee

The din from the traffic seemed to mock him in shame
Again and again as he shouted her name
How It all fell to pieces consider the source
The calmest of rivers in time will change course

Hanging in the balance the best laid plans
For each one that falters, another one stands

Counts herself lucky that she finally awoke
Located the exit despite all of the smoke
Shedding the skin of the last empty years
Leaving behind her no trail of tears

He watched as she vanished deep into the crowd
Stronger alone as she always avowed
Shadows grow heavy suffocating the pride
Of this fool on the edge of a steep downward slide

In the stillness she's pleased to hear her own voice 
Not for a moment doubting her choice
Content not to hurry to fill empty space
With the sun in her eyes the sun on her face

A tap of his finger the ashtray's now filled
There on the table where the whiskey was spilled
No point pretending his guilt was complete
When he saw the gold heart fall into the street

Gold Heart

After weeks of problems...now it seems SC is letting me listen to track, comment on them and send messages!!!!!  WTH is going on?  Anyway...like so many here I write and record my own "stuff"...and often times bitch about SC.  Give a listen if so inclined.  Thank you-James
