.... and she's not afraid to use it.


[b][color:#CC0000]HOLLY'S GOT A HEART[/color][/b]


holly's been in love before,
and she likes the way it feels
that gut-wrenchin', toe-clinchin' hit-you-from-behind kind
with no denying it's real
but she hasn't had a lover, true or other
since she can't remember when
watch yourself, boys
holly's out huntin' again

holly's been in love before,
and she likes the way it feels
that gut-wrenchin', toe-clinchin' hit-you-from-behind kind
with no denying it's real
but she hasn't had a lover, true or other
since she can't remember when
watch yourself, boys
holly's out huntin' again

   holly's got a heart, loaded for love
   with both sides pumpin', she's bound to hit something
   if she fires it often enough
   someone's gonna fall
   that's all there is to it
   holly's got a heart
   and she's not afraid to use it

holly gets her heart broke in two
every now and then
she gives a big shrug, that's just love
sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
no matter the cost, she loves gettin' lost
in the romance of it all
there's simply no limits
when holly's heart hears the call

   repeat chorus

aim for what you want
and let go with all you've got
holly sets her sights
and gives it her best shot....

   repeat chorus


Thanks for listening.
Have at it.

"AH! But can you dance to it?" grin

Excellent production Floyd. No "nits" from the north. {Where after a cold spell we are having a 'spring' type thaw.}

I had once asked you your story and ask again. You are a talent how come you are not out there?

Slick production Floyd and I love how it drives along at a great passe. The hook is ace and the vocal are fantastic.
All of the guitar parts are fantastic!!

My only nit would be with the drums and how they sit in the mix. They need a bit more punch to stop them sounding like a computer program. I record using live drums and also program midi parts so I know how hard it to get a great drum sound.
It's a great track but I think if you improve the drum sound it will lift the track to the next level.

Andy - thanks for this. I am working on a new mix. This one was done a while ago, in an old DAW with very little processing (plugins). I work differently now (a different DAW - a wider range of processors) - and drums in newer mixes are quite a bit punchier... So if you happen back by when I get the new one up, I would appreciate your thoughts again....

Hi Floyd!

I loved the up-tempo beat of this song--we need a few more of them around here (including me). I can see there were some challenging timings with this mix, you did well. I especially like the phonetics of "Holly & Heart." This song puts me a little of a country/pop song that Rick Nelson might have done. Nice melody/nice key change.

Another one down de hatch!

What she said. Your top notch productions get well deserved praises regarding every aspect of the recording process but w/o the awesome vocal they would not be nearly as memorable. Congrats on another fine one Mr jane!

No "nits" from the South either, Floyd!

Toe tappin' absolutely entertaining music. The kind you seldom hear on the radio any more these days... but they sure need to wake up. This one is a winner. So many clever lines and it is a great song. Thanks for sharing.
