Heart Song

You! Hey you. Dear reader. Welcome to my new little corner of the world. 🙂 What’s here for you? Well, I’m hoping we will build that together, but it starts with this.

A love song. For and to ourselves. I’ve been a little lost lately – do you know that feeling? Most of us do. But I’m hearing my song lately and seeing the path more clearly, so it’s time to turn it up and DANCE. Literally, as I’m re-finding my love of partner dance (lindy, blues, and west coast swing specifically) and how alive it makes me feel. And figuratively. Let’s dance through life, and remember the joy of knowing ourselves and following our heart song.

Won’t you join me in finding and following YOUR heartbeat song?

A love song to myself, to OURselves – may not be how it’s written, but it’s how it struck me the other day.

Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long

You, where the hell did you come from?
You were a different, different kind of fun
And still used to feel it now
Now, I got pins and needles on my tongue
Anticipating what’s to come
Like a finger on a loaded gunI can feel it rising
Temperature inside me
Haven’t felt for a long time

This is my heartbeat song and I’m gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I’m gonna play it
Turn it on
But I know you can take it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long

I, I wasn’t even gonna go out
But I never would have had a doubt
If I don’t know where I’d be knowYour hands on my hips
And my kiss on your lips
And I could do this for a long time

This is my heartbeat song and I’m gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I’m gonna play it
Turn it on
But I know you can take it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long

Until tonight I only dreamed about you
I can’t believe I’ll ever breathe without you
Baby you make me feel alive and brand new
Bring it one more time, one more time

This is my heartbeat song and I’m gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I’m gonna play it
Turn it on
But I know you can take it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long

This is my heartbeat song and I’m gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I’m gonna play it
Turn it on
But I know you can take it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long”
