Kristy has come a long way from her formative years in Miami, recording herself on a Fisher-Price tape recorder. She studied Vocal Performance at the University of Michigan where she met her future husband and bassist, Mike Chiaburu. The two of them recorded an EP there and put together a number of bands. Kristy's experiences at school cemented her desire to move out to Los Angeles and pursue a career in singing and song writing.
Being on the road is important for any musician, and Kristy played at venues all over the United States as part of her 20-show tour in 2008. Locally, she’s played at famous venues including The Key Club, The Viper Room, and Hotel Café. Honing her skills both on the road and in the studio has paid off tremendously, as evidenced by her growing, loyal fan base and increased radio presence across the country.
Kristy has been busy in the studio and is gearing up for the release of a new 12-song album entitled Into the Quiet, an effort that was largely funded by donations from fans. It’s sure to be an exceptional album and could be the piece of work that makes her a household name in the near future.
Piece Of Your Heart
Kristy Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need it forever
Just want a piece of your heart
I Want a piece of your heart
I don't need every last bit
Just want a place I can start
Cross the river, then the ocean
To the place where you'll be waiting
Where the time turn every table
One years this feeling won't fade away
Hey, yeah
I'll keep a piece of your heart
Keep it safe if you let me
A little piece of your heart
Hold it close, hold it closer
Give me a piece of your heart
And I'll give what you ask me
Just tell me where I can star
I would climb any mountain
Cross the river, then the ocean
To the place where you'll be waiting
Where the time turns every table
Over years this feeling won't fade away
I just want a piece of your heart
I just want a piece of your heart
I just want a piece of your heart
I just want a piece of your heart
(Cross the river, then the ocean, to the place)
I just want a piece of your heart (Cross
The river, then the ocean, to the place)
I just want a piece of your heart (Cross
The river, then the ocean, to the place)
I just want a piece of your heart (Cross
The river, then the ocean, to the place)
I just want a piece of your heart (Cross
The river, then the ocean, to the place)
I just want a piece of your heart (Cross
The river, then the ocean, to the place)
I just want a piece of your heart (Cross
The river, then the ocean, to the place)
I just want a piece of your heart
