waaaaaaaaaht
I'm pretty much self-assured in the fact that I have no life. It bothers me more somedays than not. Today, whatever. And this is what I read:

HEART
Originally recorded by Petula Clark (co written by Georges Aber and Tony Hatch) and released in '65... The above video is actually an Aussie oldie by Lynne Randall released in '66. Quite similar to the original but different, you'll see. Patula is French. Lynne is not.
66' also saw the release of two other versions: The Remains were playing catchup with their take; The Liverpool Five's version fucking jams ('66).
LYRICS////
Heart, I can hear my heart
Every time we meet, every time we part
When I'm in your arms, I can hear my heart
We kiss and the rhythms start
I can feel the beat, beat, beat
Every time you're here
Oh, don't speak to me
'Cause I just couldn't hear
I can hear the boom like the rhythm of a train
Like a thousand drums, there it goes again
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Oh, what can I do now?
My heart is beating just for you
Yeah, my poor heart, can't you see
What have you started, oh, what you're doing to me
Heart, I just can't take it
I'm going crazy, I'm going out of my head, yeah
Heart, you've got to stop now
I'm feeling hazy because it started so bad
I'm so in love with you
Nothing I can do
And I'm gonna lose my heart to you

I make music, so what
I don't know why
I love you, boy
I love you, boy
I don't know why I said goodbye I love you
I don't know why I said goodbye I love you
You the only one for me
I wish I would have seen that early
I love you
You the only one for me
I wish I would have seen that early
I love you
You spinning 'round and 'round in my head
I just want to go lay down in bed with you
You spinning 'round and 'round in my head
I just want to go lay down in bed with you
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I love you

Letha Melchior Rodman Cancer Fund
As you probably know, the life of a musician playing independent music is not a lucrative one. So when one hits a snag in life that taps the resources and makes working an outside job impossible, times get really hard. This is where Dan and Letha Melchior find themselves right now. You know Dan as one of the best underground rock & roll songwriters around. He's released records on labels such as In the Red, Hangman, S.S., Siltbreeze, Daggerman and others, and played with his bands the Broke Review and Das Menace, as well as Billy Childish and Holly Golightly. Letha is a member of Tretetam and Das Menace, a former member of Ruby Falls, and contributes to a lot of Dan's record jacket art/design, not to mention Dan's partner.
A few months ago Letha was diagnosed with cancer and since then she's been in a pretty hard fight, requiring some operations and much treatment. She's been unable to work. Dan's role as her caretaker has taken him out of the work force. Letha has basic medical insurance but that really doesn't mean a whole lot in the USA. Debt is piling up. And the state that they live in, North Carolina, doesn't offer much in the way of aid. Dan and Letha need our help.
Independent of Dan and Letha, we are asking people to help them out. The Melchior name has given us a whole lot of great music; now it is time to give a little back. We know times are hard for a lot of people, so we are asking that you give what you can afford. Please know that the money donated to Dan and Letha goes directly to them via their paypal account.

oh Eisbär
Ich möchte ein Eisbär sein
Im kalten Polar
dann müßte ich nicht mehr schrein
alles wär so klar
Eisbären müssen nie weinen

oh Polar Bear
I want to be a polar bear
In the cold Arctic
I do not have to cry anymore
Everything would be so clear
Polar Bears must never cry...
