"Fidelity"
Begin to Hope (2006)
Context: I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart...
“Through want of heart fear seizes on my tongue.”
Source: Seven Against Thebes (467 BC), line 259 (tr. Anna Swanwick)
“Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.”
Achy Breaky Heart
Song lyrics, Some Gave All (1992)
“My heart is sair-I dare na tell,
My heart is sair for Somebody.”
