I’ve almost finished reading “Just Kids” by Patti Smith. Its such an amazing story of love, the pursuit and commitment to art and an amazingly intimate witness account of the seemingly mythical years in New York in the late 60′s early 70′s. Amongst other things, it got me looking again at these Robert Mapplethrope photographs.

Really sad news yesterday that Donna Summer has died. ‘I Feel Love’ is one of those magical tracks that people have repeatedly tried to replicate, in my opinion, no-one in their attempts has ever come close.

Lay My Heart Down To Rest

In the last few days its become clear that, I think I have now actually  finished writing my album- aaaaarrrghghh!!!   There are so many new songs i’ve written in the past few months, some of the most recent ones are probably my favourite I’ve ever written.   I wrote this song with Karen Poole and Dave Etherington on Tuesday this week.  Its not even all vocalled yet but i’m really excited about this one and I can’t wait to have it ready to play to everyone.

 

Lay My Heart Down To Rest 

VERSE  1

Looking at a photo of a happiness,

Of a life I can’t believe was once my own.

I think of how he’d kiss her,

And a painful feeling still lingers,

But at least it doesn’t have me on my knees…

 

PRE

But who could ever let go,

Of who’s hurts you the most?

Its like a death, I’ve been grieving.

Since he said he was leaving.

 

CHORUS

I Lay My Heart Down To Rest,

I step to the edge and

Feel the air as its fills my chest.

I’ve known love, and its bitterness.

Don’t need to fight back another tear,

Cos none are left.

I step into the night

And take a deep a breath

As I Lay My Heart Down To Rest

 

VERSE 2

The shadows falling mercifully long again.

A year has slowly to pulled me to my feet.

A formal feeling is sitting,

In my heart where its finally sinking in….

Cos I’ve made myself believe he wasn’t right for me.

 

PRE

But who can say no,

To who’s hurt them the most?

I’m ashamed of the weakness.

Cos he cut me the deepest….

 

CHORUS

But I can,

Lay My Heart Down To Rest,

Take a deep breath and

Feel the air as its fills my chest.

I’ve known love, and its bitterness.

Don’t’ need to fight back another tear,

Cos none are left.
