about

The music release standards these days usually call for a Friday release schedule. But the 25th doesn’t fall on a Friday. And the 25th of October has a very special meaning for me and this song. This Sunday marks the 25th anniversary of my Dad’s death. I was just a kid at the time it happened and I didn’t fully understand what it meant. And all these years later I am still learning. But his death broke my heart and the hearts of my family.

‘My Broken Heart’ isn’t specifically about my father’s passing, but it fits the feelings of the song like a glove. We can suffer from a broken heart for many different reasons and it isn’t limited to only romantic relationships.

I wanted to honor the 25th anniversary with music because my father was a musician and handed down that love for music to his children (and now grandchildren). This song has a lot of heart, even if it is broken. 💔

lyrics

There's an open window shining
Shining through the rain
Or are those my tears falling?
I can't tell through this pain

Since you left I've been crying
Almost every day
It's like I'm falling down
falling down from this pain

My Heart, My Heart
My Heart, My Broken Heart

My heart is broken
And it's calling your name
Can you hear me
Can you hear me through this pain

I hear your footsteps leaving
My heart is on the floor
I wish you wouldn't crush it
When you step through that door

Oh, Oh

My Heart, My Heart
My Heart, My Broken Heart

I'm standing in this rain
of my tear drops
I'm standing through this pain
of when my heart drops

My Heart, My Heart
My Heart, My Broken Heart
