Every John Michael Ferrari song has a story; they are stories put to music.    Although most of Ferrari’s many songs are positive upbeat love songs, he created this break-up song, “My Heart Can’t Breathe,” after his heart ached seeing a photo of himself with a loved one from years ago. Produced by Pepper Jay, recorded at Larry Beaird Music Group, Nashville, and beautiful background vocals by Tania Hancheroff.   TCAFR2176666

My Heart Can't Breaathe

MY HEART CANT BREATHE

"When a friend asked me to sing a song for his wedding,  I thought it would be nice to write a love song for for him and his new bride.  "Paint You a Love Song" was truly a gift from God.

I enjoy watching clouds and skies and rainbows, particularly seeing them through trees.  In "Paint You a Love Song," I find a different way to poetically express myself using those images I enjoy." - John Michael Ferrari

Keep Falling All Over Myself

According to Indie Music Plus, “What Are You Doing” features a guitar melody in the beginning that hints at the chorus melody and shows off Ferrari’s fast-fingered guitar playing skill. One of the more upbeat and more forward driving songs on the album, the lyrics in this song are about having dreams and whether or not people follow them throughout their life. Ferrari’s voice is accompanied by backing harmonies in the chorus as he poses a question that could be seen as a simple gesture of love interest, but could also be seen as a greater existential dilemma that needs to be asked aloud to himself and to the audience.  Written and performed by John Michael Ferrari for Cappy Records.  Harmonies by Tania Hancheroff. Produced by Pepper Jay.  Recorded at Larry Beaird Studios, Nashville, TN.
