"My Heart is Heartless:" another IANTM original!

My heart is heartless
My soul is a disgrace
But, irregardless,
My love for you is chaste

I don't know how this could happen
It seems like such a waste
But, you know my heart is heartless
It's in the wrong damn place

My love is like a painted bird
That's winging through a room
Is that darkness visible
or merely bright-lit gloom

Oh, but in that crowded place of sorrow
they'll always make some room
Because you know my heart is heartless
I'll check out before noon.

now, let me get this straight, you play the geetar, sing,and you come up with the music and the lyrics ? why did i think otherwise? thousands of thoughts wash up on the shore of my head i suppose, i have to spent time combing over them like i was looking for seashells midst all the dead jellyfish . i love this video. it is worthy of multiple viewings.

@jamesraymondsmith You know, dead jellyfish are frequently mistaken for dead jellyfish. Shells are pretty and smooth, but jellyfish are deep. Yeah, I write the songs,,,and lyrics... which make the young girl cry. But lately I've been snagging the visuals from Vimeo.

your songs are always enjoyable, lyrical and lovely, tho I'm having hard time wrapping my feeble mind around the real meaning here . . . I like the sunrise too, but I don't understand how solar fusion works either.

@Appropriator Bro, I have no idea what this song is about. The words rhymed, that's all I know. By the way, is Florida EVER going to elect an Democratic governor?

Wow - I came over to leave you a comment on your page and see if you had posted anything new while I was away. Even though I always like your work, I wasn't expecting this. This took my breath away. It's a really powerful combination of music, lyric and image. The song is beautiful and heartbreaking. You've paired with images that punch you in the face and make you really listen. Really really good work. I want to cry.

@eaglecrowowl Oh, you artists are so damn emotional! ; )

[Kether73]

A beautiful message... Thank you!

[Rutle]

Beautiful song, love the video too.

@IamNotTheMoon

kinda like " I am the eggman, I am the walrus.... " evoking mystical beauty and yet being nonsensical on the surface? or visa-versa? anyway, yeah, I think its in the Florida charter now that we can only have douchebags as governors. the politicians are crooked in this backwards state. Gov. Auh-Nuld looks like a peach compared to the sleazy crook we got with medicare-thieving Rick Scott.
