The three were making music long before Mainfelt but, it was after beating out fierce competition to take home the "International Live Award" in 2010 that they found their true genre and Mainfelt was formed. The folk/country band adopted Stephanie Blaas to record their first few songs and she soon became a permanent member.
The band was now complete lead by Patrick Strobl on guitar, Kevin on banjo, Veit on bass, and Stephanie rounding up percussion and backing vocals. Mainfelt set sail to perform on both local and international stages, routinely entertaining crowds in Salzburg, Linz, Innsbruck, Gstaad.
With their honest lyrics, accompanying rhythms and exciting tunes, it was not long before the band took their music overseas. A week in New York City performing in Manhattan's local band scene and open mic aroused the band's ambitions. That summer they arranged a two week tour, with shows in Dublin, Berlin, Bielefield, and Vienna. The tour was the beginning of a concert rich summer.

My Heart
Mainfelt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

my hands are trembling
and my heart runs fast
i can let my doubts go but i try to ask
it's hard to breathe and my head hurts
i cannot see the cleared fog
but i know that you
you are my heart
and always on my mind

you are my heart
words won't come easy
i don't know how to say it
but i guess there is the other way
and i all i want is to scream it out
so i take my breath
and i scream it out loud
oh you are my heart
and always on my mind
you are my heart
oh you are my heart
oh and always on my mind
oh you are my heart
oh and always on my mind
oh you are my heart
oh and always on my mind

oh you are my heart
oh and always on my mind
