about

A song that I didn't know what chords I was using - a first for me! I had to write them down to remember them. Then I took the guitar part and made it play a synth part.

I liked the weird stuff that came out.

And I made it also play a sampled guitar sound just for more weirdness. It made for a mystical atmosphere to the song.

lyrics

with all the broken parts of my heart
Sprawling over the floor
If you open up the hood
And sum up all the parts
You'll find a little engine that roared

With all the shards of this heart of glass
Shattered over the stone
If they melted in a pot
Till they were white hot
They'd form into a crystal of course

I opened my heart & you fell right through
An atomic bomb on my shore
I tried to defuse you
But you just refused to
And I got caught in the blast
Oh I got caught in the blast

So with all the broken parts of my heart
Sprawling over the floor
If you open up the hood
And sum up all the parts
You'll find a little engine that roared
