SHAKIN' MY TREE is the raw, unflinching sound of a broken heart caught between leaving and loving. The DC Sound Project delivers a soul-stirring track about the dizzying fall from grace when a relationship turns toxic. It's a confession wrapped in a melody—a defiant admission of pain where the only lie is pretending that "my heart wasn't breakin'." A deeply honest look at the moment you realize you're 'deep fried' and 'tongue tied,' but still magnetically drawn to the one who brought you down.

Lyrics

Don't get me wrong, 
I'm not lost or forsaken. 
I took a fall,
From you shakin' my tree.
If I was to swear,
That my heart wasn't breakin',
The only one lyin',
Is me.

Under my breath,
I swore that I love you.
There's nothin' left,
There's no reason to stay.
If I was to swear, 
That my heart wasn't breakin'.
I'd see myself right,
By the end of the day.

Call off the dogs,
I've done enough runnin'.
I'm deep fried,
I'm tongue tied.
I'm fadin' away.
There used to be so much,
But you left me hangin',
Here on the edge,
With nothin' to say.

Under my breath, 
I swore that I love you.
You standin' there,
On a warm summers day.
My mind was ablaze,
I'd do anythin' for you.
Please don't you stop,
The games that you play.

They keep me grounded, 
I know my place.
All of my senses, 
Explode into space.
So if I was to swear,
That my heart wasn't breakin',
I'd see myself right,
By the end of the day.

All links now active... 🎵 Original Music from Wirral, UK | Phil Dutton & Les Corlett AKA The DC Sound Project

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.
