This is something I'm doing just for fun -- to live out a lifelong dream since the age of around 7 or so when I realized that I could carry a tune (without the use of a bucket!) and it didn't sound bad. Much love and thanks go to those in my SoundClick family (and now beyond!) who helped to encourage/challenge me to spread my wings to try this out and continue to take it to the next level. Without your kind support I'd still be just a listener (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Story behind the song
Quarterflash really rocked it in the 80's...great rockin' sound complete with a screamin' alto sax. Of course I couldn't do the expected "Harden My Heart" so I went with this one which was just as great, just not so overplayed.

Lyrics
TAKE ME TO HEART ============== You won't forget my eyes Ooh deep inside you realize You're gonna see me wherever you go You're gonna hear me on your radio There you are in your car You hear a voice that's calling "Do you want me Do you want me" Take me to heart I promise you a miracle Take me to heart You're gonna be mine Take me to heart You know it's just a matter of time I'm always on your mind I'm the chill that never left your spine In the building where you live and breathe I'm the sound that never lets you sleep Down the hall through the walls You hear a voice that's calling "Do you want me Do you want me" Take me to heart Don't deny the miracle Take me to heart What more can I say Take me to heart Surrender's just a motion away "Do you want me Do you want me Do you want me Do you want me" Take me to heart Don't deny the miracle Take me to heart What more can I say Take me to heart Oh won't you take me to heart C'mon and take me to heart Surrender's just a motion away It's just a motion away You're gonna take me to heart You're gonna take me to heart Why don't you take me

This is really nice! LOve the song, though I never heard it before. It sounds so eighties and you nail it so good. The right feel and vibe. Very well done, Mary Clare.
