Heartbreak Of Love

For Megan

Written and recorded 28/29 November 2015

Started off as a two-part acoustic guitar and vocal 'duet'... added some drums using Maschine and then bulked out the guitar parts with acoustic and electric overdubs for a total of ten separate guitar tracks. 5 vocal tracks: main vocal and harmony part both double-tracked, and a 'percussion' vocal track; the rest is synth instruments using Kontakt (Native Instruments): piano, Rhodes MkII (bass) and cello.

Dark and whispering
Like a shadow that falls
Heartbreak descends
Like a night that never ends

Go on for ever more
With a heart turned to stone
Hold on for a time
Mama told me, time and time again

Save my soul
And forgive me tonight
Take my pain
And my tears and throw them away

I'm blown away
By the heartbreak of love
I am destroyed
And the zero hour has come
