my love is strong And my heart is weak After all

Artist- Delta Spirit
Song of the day Bushwick Blues

Have you ever liked a song because of a single lyric? That's what happened with me and this song. I've currently been obsessed with choruses because I can't seem to write one for the life of me. I find myself writings songs of endless verses and forgotten how to tie it in to one great phrase that's so damn true and catchy, everything else you have written could be crap as long as the chorus is good. And this is a great chorus. Besides making me desperately crave a diner at 1am after seeing this band a bazillion times and possibly co-writing a song about the lead singer's tight pants and cardigan sweaters, Delta Spirit knows how to write catchy, play dancee, screech vocally, and speak deeply without you realizing it. And all that can be encompassed in the chorus. Which may set my new goal of only speaking in poignant choruses. This may be difficult, I may talk even less than I already do, because my love is strong, and my heart is weak, after all.



Hold on to my hand
Never let go
Never let go
We were just two kids acting tough
Then we grew up
Me, not so much

All the other guys that you've seen
are nothing compared to me
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak
After all

When we first met
We spoke so brief
When you sang a sonnet
I hummed sweet relief
Do you recall that night we took the L
Out into Bushwick
It was colder than hell

So maybe there
We should have stopped
Cause I'm left here feeling like a cop
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak
After all

To the other side
of the state's return
I met a young girl
Well I couldn't manage her
Because I think of you
In every girl i meet
It's no relief
That sounds to me just as sweet

So maybe I'm the fool for feeling used
By the way we kissed that night i though you knew
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak
After all
