Liner Notes

I do hope that @kahlo2013 's love life is in better shape than her love songs. Another great set of words from Liz set to a more chilled EDM tune. The chorus of this reminds me a bit of Go West, a great pop band from the 80s, who were always one of my favourites.

Hope you like it.

Liz says: it is always a treat to have @daveyboy103 bring his masterful music magic to my words as he has such a strong musical sensibility and is able to turn words on a page into spectacular songs! I truly appreciate his time and talent. And rest assured my love life currently is much less dramatic and dark than what is expressed hereā€¦ but I suppose all lyrics capture some bit of our past memories šŸ˜Š

Lyrics

V1
you reached in
you captured
my heart

my heart was
surrounded by
the warmth of
loving hugs

my heart was
reassured when
you promised
your love

I thought
those promises
were enough

C
you took more than
bits and piecesā€¦.
bits and pieces of
my heart

you took more than
bits and piecesā€¦
you took it allā€¦.

Iā€™m trying to
be strongā€¦

V2
you reached in
you ripped out
my heart

my heart had
scraped and bruised left
empty with
open wounds

my heart was
demolished by
the damage
from you

I pray
the damage
is now through

C
you took more than
bits and piecesā€¦.
bits and pieces of
my heart

you took more than
bits and piecesā€¦
you took it allā€¦.

Iā€™m trying to
be strongā€¦

B
you keep juggling
bits and pieces
left scattered about
but Iā€™m picking up
shards and fragments
and moving to
solid ground

C
you took more than
bits and piecesā€¦.
bits and pieces of
my heart

you took more than
bits and piecesā€¦
you took it allā€¦.

Iā€™m going to
be strongā€¦

@daveyboy103 the prompt that the lyric came from asked what song Ozzy was referring to when he said he'd play "bits and pieces" with Sabbath. Which is not to say this song or any from the prompt are Ozzy songs. But that didn't stop me from imagining and having a chuckle.

Great track, I havent heard a lot on the soul/pop genre. The chorus works really well with the "Bits and Pieces" prompt and line.

Also the thought of Ozzy singing this makes me.giggle.

davey really knows how to highlight a refrain without minimizing the verses. and liz writes such terrific verses and they shine so marvelously with davey's musical polish. i love it when my favorite people get to collab and come up with something as exciting as this.
