ROCKOLLECTIONS: FOR VALENTINE’S- ALL HEART SONGS (EXCEPT ONE) PT.2 END

Continuing on with our Valentine “HEART” songs.
And the ‘EXCEPT ONE”!
I will have lots more interesting trivia about the day, and answer the question: What group of people gets the MOST Valentine cards?
We’ll hear one of my favorite songs EVER, and why (actually if you’ve ever had a bicycle, you should pick up on it immediately)- it’s another from Kate and Anna McGarrigle- Heart Like A Wheel.
Oh man, just look at these words:

Some say a heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it, you can’t mend it
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is like that ship out in mid ocean

Talk about melancholy- besides the bent wheel, being stuck on a sinking ship…and naturally, in the middle of the ocean.
In fact, a lot of the ladies this time.
And finally, there is that matter of a song without “HEART” in the title.
It is by a woman named Juliet Turner, and is VERY much about the heart!
One of the great things about doing this show is the ability to expose you to music that for one reason or another has fallen through the cracks.
This is one of those songs, and I implore you to listen closely to its achingly beautiful lyrics about a place we have all been and can relate to.
She makes me want to take her in my arms and fix it all for her!
This one and the McGarrigle’s song really get to me, unashamed romantic that I am.
And as always, there was a ton of songs left off the show, leading me to believe there will be an equally good sequel down the road- probably in the Spring.
I hope you get some emotional feelings out of my HEARTfelt effort to bring some unpredictability to the radio.
Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

Mike
