In August 2017, several people came forward with accusations of sexual assault towards the lead singer, Chris Clavin, leading to a short hiatus until late 2019. Bands he had collaborated with condemned his actions, renouncing their work on Plan-It-X Records, and vowed to remove Clavin's work from future printings of split albums.
This Heart of Mine
Ghost Mice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then i saw you at a few more shows.
I knew that i had to introduce myself to you.
After all those times of each other
It was something that i had to do.
We hung out in your van.
We became the best of friends.
I can't imagine anything better than that.
We played in your backyard to three people.
You made us good vegan food. we became friends with you.
Every time we came to your town we stayed at your house.
I thank you. as the years go by,
This heart of mine says thanks
Many times for the friends it finds.
I am so grateful. i am so lucky.
I am so thankful that you found me
The lyrics to "This Heart of Mine" by Ghost Mice express gratitude for the friendship between the singer and the person they are addressing in the song. The first verse sets the scene, describing how they first saw this person at a festival and then at more shows, before finally working up the nerve to introduce themselves. The relationship develops from there, with the two of them hanging out in a van and becoming the best of friends. The second verse describes how this person first booked Ghost Mice for a show, and the band became close to them, staying at their house every time they came to their town. The singer reflects on how lucky they feel to have found such a good friend, and how grateful they are for the many friends they have made over the years.
The song has a simple, upbeat melody that matches the positive tone of the lyrics. The repetition of the line "I thank you" emphasizes the singer's gratitude and highlights the central message of the song. The reference to vegan food in the second verse suggests that the person being thanked is someone who shares the singer's values and priorities, adding an extra layer of connection to their friendship.
Overall, "This Heart of Mine" is a heartfelt tribute to the power of friendship and the joy of finding kindred spirits on the journey of life. In a world full of negativity and division, the song celebrates the simple pleasures of human connection and reminds us to be grateful for the people who make our lives better.

Who sings this? Hell of a beautiful voice.
@FuckYeahFolkPunk
Don't quote me on this, but I think this is the second half of Ghost Mice, also known as Hannah Jones.
