about

I wrote "Hollow Heart" in 2011, and released in on my 2nd EP by the same name, that same year. I re-recorded the song in 2013, and released in on my "Dance Like Smoke" EP, also in 2013.

The song has evolved so much in the years since I first wrote it, and last recorded it, I really wanted to give it another chance.

I hope you enjoy this incarnation of the song. I'm really happy with the way it came together, and excited to be able to share an old favourite, cast in a new light.

lyrics

Hollow heart who married me, let's keep our promises within a buried seed.
Hollow heart with fingers black, paint me a starless sky, and don't look back.

I'll follow you through the evergreens, across the frozen earth to where we'll fall asleep.
I'll follow you if you run faster than me, and if your legs grow tired, I'll surely take the lead.

Holding onto something is still much better than just letting it all go.
Remember to be brave my dear, your hollow heart can still be filled with gold.

With Gold.

Hollow heart who married me, without a long white dress, without a priest.
Hollow heart with hands so free, carve me a mountainside, paint me the deep blue sea.

Holding onto something is still much better than just letting it all go.
Remember to be brave my dear, your hollow heart can still be filled with gold.

With Gold. With Gold.

Virtual Heaven
by Infinity Crush

Just found this by chance in the "if you like David Stone... section" - It's a beautifully warm record, clean and smooth, but without being polished to a shine. Perfect walking-in-Autumn record. David Stone
