Today’s Behind The Song Sundays is “Heart & Soul” off my last album ‘My New Normal’.
I wrote “Heart & Soul” back in December of 2012, at the time the person I was seeing wanted me to write them a song… so I attempted my first “Happy” song. (I say “Happy” because I’ve come to the realization that most of my songs are pretty depressing/angry/sad)
Needless to say, the relationship crashed and burned pretty much after I sent the song. I’ve learnt my lesson and will no longer write songs for people… or if I do, I will not tell them lol.
I had a very hard time contemplating about recording this song on ‘My New Normal’ mostly because I hated it, but others who have heard it liked it quite a bit. So with the help of my awesome/talented friend Lindsey White (who played piano and did backup vocals that made the song way better), I put my mature non-hating pants on and recorded the song.
