![]() Heart of My Own (2010) [ larger cover art ] |
Call this on my awful luck
Skies they opened wide for us
Oh, what a heavy rain it was that covered all of you.
The wind has changed, my boy
I never knew a voice like yours
But i know just what good it was, that lie you hold on to.
But to call those shadows coming after you -
Go on, go on
I couldn't bear to lose -
Go on, go on
I couldn't stand to -
They begged you for your awful words
So let them know the burden of your blues.
It could've been the one you loved
The visions of the things I'd done
Well, I wouldn't be the only one if you'd only told the truth.
While they chased you down that night
I was pulling feathers from your lies
Oh I swear I saw it in your eyes, you never told it true.
But to call those shadows coming after you -
Go on, go on
I couldn't beg you to -
Go on, go on
I couldn' stand to lose -
They begged you for your awful words
So let them know the burden of your blues.
Oh to call those shadows coming after you -
Go on, go on
I couldn't beg you to -
Go on, go on
I couldn' stand to lose -
They begged you for your awful words
So let them know the burden of your blues.

| Hasan | Posted: Feb 24, 2013 - 18:34 I really like her voice: strength, clarity, control .. . I just think her back up musicians are out of whack with song itself — that drumming! Is it the RCMP marching band? |

| mikemayday | Posted: Feb 01, 2013 - 03:11 That's not how you pronounce "Basia", Bill! ;)) |
| philbertr (Roch New York) | Posted: Nov 25, 2012 - 08:50 An easy 7. And I'm already toying with the idea of making it an 8.... Maybe next time (music tends to grow on me as I absorb and process more of the detail.) |

| Dav3thedog (Canberra) | Posted: Oct 18, 2012 - 22:31 Love it! |
| ottovonb | Posted: Oct 04, 2012 - 16:20 Actually woke the dog up out of a dead sleep. He fled the room whimpering. I might do the same. |

| ottovonb | Posted: Aug 13, 2012 - 22:16 Dolly Parton singing under an alias. Gawd the warbling. It's makes me want to smash up the furniture. |
| ziakut (Right Here) | Posted: Jul 27, 2012 - 16:13 Cough that damn marble out! C'mon I know you can do it. Maybe by the end of this tune she'll get a slap on the back. Don't get me wrong, I like the tune and her voice a bit less, but it's unique. Maybe she should keep the marble for it does give her some "identity" otherwise she might sound like the 18,000 other female singers out there. |

| ansugon | Posted: Feb 20, 2012 - 05:17 Perfect. The first coffee of the day was just kicking in, and then this, and I'm ready to get to work. |

| Sjaaks (Horst, Netherlands) | Posted: Nov 09, 2011 - 05:33 This morning on my bike (bicycle that is) riding to work, in a beautiful Dutch autumn setting with all the yellow, red and brown leafs all around, this album really hit the spot... 8 |

| Phototrekker | Posted: Sep 23, 2011 - 09:16 Just cannot enjoy this song - it is a combo between her voice and the lyrics - too much youoooooo / uooooooo |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet CAN I GO HOME NOW?) | Posted: Sep 23, 2011 - 09:14 I was most unfortunate to be ;listening when this came on...and Gillian Welch follows....make it stop!! |

| apd (Toronto, On) | Posted: Jul 22, 2011 - 15:35 This may sound odd, but this is a great track for a work-out mix. It's shuffled up a few times on my playlist and before I know why, I just found I was accelerating... |
| Cynaera (Kenneth's Frequency) | Posted: Jul 22, 2011 - 15:35 I know what I like, and I don't need to address all the other comments. |
| Sjaaks (Horst, Netherlands) | Posted: Jul 20, 2011 - 00:25 I'm really impressed lately by Basia, at first i didn't really notice it but the last couple of times she came by here on RP it struck me, excellent sound! Plus, she sort of has the Michelle Williams look going for her and in my book that's a good thing... |
| SpamNRice (Northern, Italy) | Posted: Jun 29, 2011 - 23:24 Nice 180 from A Perfect Circle... ...an Incomplete Circle...? ![]() Like it. |

| rbigelo (Spanish Town) | Posted: Feb 12, 2011 - 08:12 This title has something of a Celitc "feel" to it. |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Feb 04, 2011 - 06:54 I have mixed feelings about her voice. My daughter gave me her cd, and in some cases her voice is just too trilly. |
| lattalo (Beartooths) | Posted: Jan 23, 2011 - 10:46 Yeah!!! |

| ortega1 (Warsaw, Poland) | Posted: Jan 09, 2011 - 10:17 Stingray: Ze Germans you said? Ok, let me teach you something more: in 1945 one German ss-mann said: shoot everyone in that village. That was the village of my grandmother. She survived with my 2-years old mother, because Wehrmacht Lieutenant stopped this order. Never try to say to me this way. I can speak german, but I never liked this country, especially Baden-Wuertenberg. |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Jan 06, 2011 - 03:52 Go on, go on - reminds me of Mrs Doyle: ![]() Nice song, great singer, evocative voice - I must get this CD. Good cover photo, too, which a comment on another of the album songs says was taken at midnight in Northern Canada. |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Dec 29, 2010 - 14:31 I tried to listen to this album, which was given to me, but the trill in her voice is kind of annoying to me. |
