He came from Toronto; she, from Seattle.
He came from Toronto; she, from Seattle.
His parents started a radio station; hers were music teachers.
Both had music in their blood, instruments in their hands, and a mind to create.
The mountains led him to the west; a star led her to the north.
In Vancouver they met and schooledβstudying music and life.
They found promise.
They found love.
In less than a year they put school on hold, got married, and lived.
With music and purpose guiding them, school called again and to Nashville they went.
He became an audio engineer; she became a songwriter; music stayed central and they continued to create.
Entering the Nashville music scene in 2009, Handsome and Gretyl released their debut EP, Hold On Tight Love, February 2011.
Handsome and Gretyl have created an earthy folk feel crossed with an imaginative jaunt of pop, a sweet and tangy piece of wild berry pie. This duo draws from real life, delivering optimistic though realistic lyrics, seasoned with the chill of snow, the sea breeze, and the hope of tomorrowβs sunrise.
My Heart Is Set
Handsome and Gretyl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the world is fleeting
You are all I'm needing
No there's nothing you could do to lose my love
Even on bad days
Leaning on the good things
Sure as the sunrise
My heart is set on you
My heart is set on you
No matter what you do
Oh still my heart is set on you
We'll always be kin, be kind, be bringers of light
Making me feel golden
Clinging to the one who makes my heart to sing
As long as the earth turns
Long as the sun shines
My heart is set on you
My heart is set on you
No matter what you do
Oh still, my heart is set on you
For better or for worse
In laughter and sorrow
In sickness and in health
We lend and we borrow
In worry and peace
In mountain or valley
In bravery and fear
Come what may
My heart is set on you
My heart is set on you
No matter what you do
It's all that i can do
My heart is set on you
My heart is set on you
No matter what you do
Oh still my heart is set on you
It's on you, it's on you
My heart is set on you
And only you
It's only you
It's only you
