I had an insight into music early because my older cousin was in bands and used to let me sit in his studio while he wrote and recorded songs. He used to give me Bowie and Beatles records to listen to. Then I heard wives' tales about Paul McCartney not really being Paul McCartney and how the clues to his death were in the artwork of their albums and that had me pretty spooked when listening to the Beatles for quite some time. I got really into early Bowie (like The London Boys era), then came T.Rex, Queen, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel and of course Michael Jackson. I tried writing songs when my cousin gave me my first keyboard, a little casio. I wrote a song called "The Stomach Ground" about a village of people living on someone's stomach. I basically wrote more and more songs, and figured out how to multi-track using a double cassette deck. Music was where I was heading. I left school to get a job in a recording studio, I made tea and set-up microphones. Then I set-up The Canvas Room, my own little studio and record label. I made an e.p called the So So...e.p and started playing shows around London. Someone who heard the So So...e.p happened to run a big studio in New Jersey USA and I was invited out there to record another e.p and I wrote an e.p called The Diary Of Rodney Harvey, inspired by an article I had read about the tragic rise and fall of this promising star. I ended up living in Manhattan for a few months, playing music, writing songs and working in studios. I moved back to New Jersey and somehow got a room in the house that Frank Sinatra grew up in. I bought a little Casio keyboard, just like the one my cousin had given me when I was five and I started writing songs for my first album.

Heart and Soul
Gary Go Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So your life is on fire,
And you tried to put it out with me,
Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Everything is everywhere and I don't know who to be,
But I won't let this world unbalance me.

There's nothing to stop us,
From losing it all,

So follow your heart and soul.
'Cause nothing will matter,
Nothing at all,
If you don't follow your heart and soul,
Nothing will matter anymore.
We get so easily distracted,
We forget where we set out to go,
Well its OK, its okay.
When everything is everywhere and you don't know what to do,
Don't ever let this world unbalance you.
It took some time to realize,
But it just occurred to me.
That what we have is what we choose to see.

Well there's nothing to stop us,
From losing it all,
So follow your heart and soul.
'Cause nothing will matter,
Nothing at all,
If you don't follow your heart and soul,
Nothing will matter anymore.

Whoa there's nothing to stop us,
From losing it all,
So follow your heart and soul,
'Cause nothing will matter,
Oh nothing at all,
If you don't follow your heart and soul,
So follow you heart and soul,
Follow you heart and soul,
Follow you heart and soul,
Nothing will matter anymore.

Oh there's nothing to stop us,
From losing it all,

So follow your heart and soul,
Or nothing will matter anymore.

Overall Meaning

The song "Heart And Soul" by Gary Go speaks about one's journey in life and how easily one can lose themselves in the midst of chaos and distractions, but it is important to stay true to oneself and follow their heart and soul. The opening verse describes a person who is feeling lost and overwhelmed in their life, and has tried to find solace in someone else. However, the singer seems to apologize for not being able to fix the person's life, showing that ultimately, it is up to the individual to find their way. The chorus repeats the importance of following one's heart and soul and not losing oneself in the world's distractions. The bridge speaks to the fact that it may take time for someone to realize this, but ultimately, it is up to them to choose the path they take in life. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the fact that if one does not follow their heart and soul, than nothing that happens in life will truly matter.

Line by Line Meaning

So your life is on fire,
Your life is in chaos and turmoil.

And you tried to put it out with me,
You looked to me to help solve your problems.

Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Unfortunately, I can't fix everything for you.

Everything is everywhere and I don't know who to be,

I won't let the chaos and uncertainty of the world affect my stability.

There's nothing to stop us,
There are no guarantees or safety nets to protect us.

We could lose everything at any moment.

So follow your heart and soul.

None of it will have any significance.

If you don't follow your heart and soul,
If you ignore your inner voice and passion.
