Story Behind The Song
Heart and Soul is a song about love, but in a mysterious and almost frantically anxious sense - the lyrics are accessible, yet harken of an encoded message - something that is not simple, though it should be accessible to all. This was written about a passionate relationship that had many ups and downs, with lots of doubts and lots of love - and created a wide spectrum of feelings that left us both on edge.
Song Description
Heart and Soul is an upbeat electronica/dance pop hit with a saxophone-driven hook and creamy lead male vocals. It is a mysterious love story that conveys a sense of suspense and passion. It draws heavily upon the zeitgeist of recent pop phenomena that utilize deep horn sounds and autotuned vocals to form an interesting and dance-inspiring hook, along with heavy drums and low vocals to drive the verses and grip the listener's interest.

Lyrics
Pantomimes, things you'd never call lies
It was an inside plan for eventual demise
And the gatekeeper sank when his heart fossilized
He found the treasure first, but his boat capsized
Found Saharan sands in her iPhone hands
Left the coffee-stained map for the next couple plans
Left her diamonds there, so she'd know she'd have friends
If she ever weathers the storm
Whoa...
Oh can you take it real slow
I want you crawling back for more
Oh can you take it real slow
I need you crawling back for more
Sun-drenched thighs and an apple-pie guise
She had the fog baptized to keep her thoughts organized
And the dust grew thick on her faded Levis
She left her fate to rest with a few fireflies
Found a wiretap on the songs in her mind
Cleared the static to hear her heart's faint reply
And though it all comes back to whether it could belie
The true story of her life
Oh can you take it real slow
I want you crawling back for more
Oh can you take it real slow
I need to taste your heart and soul
Oh can you take it real slow
I want you crawling back for more
Oh can you take it real slow
I want to taste your heart and soul
