Remembering the Rings Around My Heart
The main guitar is my old Takamine F-400 12-string (Which I hammered on hard) with an added stereo pass of a Blonde Zolla with a Full Drive 2 and a slide pass on chorus at 12:00. Bit of an 80's Echo and the Bunnymen feel. Remix 2018

Story behind the song
Song started out by one of those late night discussions about what if you sawed a heart in half and could count the rings. What would your heart show? I remember a couple of times, where I stupidly did give everything to be the one, and added another ring to my heart. Remixed 2018 with the addition of a bass.
Lyrics
1. Let no one over analyze this
We were naked and its just the facts
It felt so good in this night air
No restraints, no holding anything back
I wanted to be the one
I wanted to be the one
But love tore me apart
Remembering the rings around my heart
2. The healing too such an awful long time
Despite my intentions the sorrow followed
Too much time looking back towards that place
Where I left it all behind
3. Broken bonds, broken chords left on dusty floors
Never to be fixed lost and ignored
I was prepared for an abrupt and final end
To walk from everything Life, lover and friend
4. Felt the pain so deep it was absurd
Whether or not it was deserved
A five year grave without an escape
And I hid myself away Too Late
5. A long list of does and please do nots
A line of dashed hopes and broken hearts
You should play with like they were toys
Breaking and living applies even to the boys
