Orthy, the musical project of Austin, TX based songwriter and producer Ian Orth, will be releasing a special digital release of his reworking of Tom Petty's classic "Listen To Her Heart" via Dither Down, on May 19th. Connected to the digital release are a handful of choice remixes from Orthy's 2014 'E.M.I.L.Y.' EP, featuring contributions from Cosmic Kids, Aimes, Mijo, Roy Dank, and Birds of Pandaemonium.

On his "Listen To Her Heart" reworking, Orth borrows Petty's lyrics, while reimagining an entirely new score, transforming the song into a slow, pulsing burner that locks itself into a deep groove by it's final measures. Continuing on in Orthy's distinct style of producing electronic music with new wave and power pop undertones, "Listen To Her Heart" is endearing in it's simplicity. Written and recorded at Orth's own 2216 Studio, he worked closely with two other local Austin engineering talents, James Jones - Mixing, and Erik Wofford - mastering at Cacophony Studios.

Lyrics
I know you did just what you told me
doesn’t mean we have resolve
you made the world slip beneath me
You had everything, I had it all wrong

I can feel it in my bones, everytime
I pay the price
But I don’t wanna change a thing
Cause this is never worth always being right

I get lost in your spell every time
I get lost in your spell every time

I can see it in your face, you think it’s all a ride
I don’t wanna change a thing
Cause why live out what we both hope will die

I get lost in your spell every time
I get lost in your spell every time

Why would you think twice 
about breaking all the rules? just to get it right?
You bled dry all my energy 
just to leave me in your fool’s paradise.

I get lost in your spell every time

Lyrics
Voice of a generation dies
The kids are left without an alibi to blame it all on
Living off someone else’s Trust, 
The money’s great 
But the dreams just won’t last

The hope the fear the love desire
We’re never growing old
Never giving in again

It’s yours to lose
But if you don’t play
Baby the winners will never change

Play the fool with someone else’s time
Everyone here knows everyone’s lie
So call it what you will
Mistakes that look a mile wide
You hit the road running
Though you never did the crime
What’s another friend or two?

The hope the fear the love desire
We’re never growing old
Never giving in again

It’s yours to lose 
But if you don’t play
Baby the winners will never change

Lyrics
Feeling on top of the world
but you’re not seeing what you wanna see
Believing talk is cheap and you’ll get nowhere when the ride’s for free

A little high, a little low
I just gotta know, you realize you’re not alone

All the mistakes, you said that you need them
to keep you in time, never hesitating.
All the mistakes, you said that you need them, locked up inside to keep you in time.

Keeping destiny on the run for far too long
Say it, “fear used you up when you shot for the stars but you ended up at home.”

A little high, a little low
I just gotta know,
you realize you’re not alone

All the mistakes, you said that you need them
to keep you in time, never hesitating.
All the mistakes, you said that you need them, locked up inside to keep you in time

I want to know what you’re thinking.
Why do you wanna live through someone else?
Are you ready and able?
A fever dream reflection of yourself.
We never believed enough
This is why you’re always feeling all fucked up.
Angel on the right or that devil down inside,
Who’s going to get you to it?
Only you can pull you through it.

All the mistakes, you said that you need them
To keep you in time, never hesitating.
All the mistakes, you said that you need them, locked up inside to keep you in time
