Heartline

about

D. Cullen moves into summer mode with “Heartline”, an upbeat melodic ray of sunshine that melds the 1970s, 1980s and 2020s in a Tom Petty meets Elvis Costello meets Taylor Swift fashion.

It tells a tale of 2 people losing the run of themselves and intertwining for a vaguely remembered night even though they realise it’s not the smartest idea in the world.

“This song is one of my favourite things I’ve ever done sonically. It started in Saltwell Studios, in Cambridgeshire, England with me playing acoustic guitar & singing before adding mountains of electric guitars on top of the track. Boo Hewerdine played an amazing bass part, Chris Pepper contributed some glorious drums, I added some droning Harmonium and Motown-y tambourines and we called it a day!

“In the second session, over lockdown, Sinead McConville added her luscious backing vocals to the track before Roger Bechirian went to town and added the Piano, Hand Claps and, my favourite bit of the whole song, the Organ."

lyrics

Well I don’t get the feeling, I don’t get it enough
it’s harder to grow up when you live on your own
It’s a twisted logic keeps me in pursuit
it brought me back to you where you go on & on

It only goes to show
that I know nothing at all
We’ll laugh until we cry
Don’t hold back come be the heartline

In the rush of it, it all came back to me
I only want one thing, is this all we’ve become?
In the thrust of it I never understood
the fact we shouldn’t have done what we had done

It only goes to show
that I know nothing at all
We’ll laugh until we cry
Don’t hold back come be the heartline

Say did we have a blast the night before the morning after?
I really never have a clue
Tell me did we get lost or lose ourselves in the disaster?
Please only promise me the truth

It only goes to show
that I know nothing at all
We’ll laugh until we cry
Don’t hold back come be the heartline
