Indovina, award winning song writer and critically acclaimed musician, arranger, and producer is the consummate Storyteller, weaving a tapestry of emotion, love, loss, recovery and hope that each of us face throughout our lives. Johnny is an artist in the truest sense of the word and while his fan base is undeniably loyal, he's yet to received recognition on the scale he deserves.
By his own admission, accolades were never his goal; he would prefer that his music be sold in bookstores and independent shops and rather than be lumped in with the mass-marketed, style over substance records that permeate the air waves.
Aptly titled "Beauty?", Sound of the Blue Heart's debut album is slated for release on August 29, 2006. Ever in touch with his fans, Indovina made sure advance copies of the CD were available for early purchase.
It's absolutely amazing. If you're a fan of Human Drama, you'll love SOTBH and feel the warm embrace of a dear friend. If you're not, you're certain to be embraced by "Beauty?"

Love and It's Sorrow
Sound Of The Blue Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where i can feel again
where i can see again
the man that the mirror no longer finds
i wake to the sound of surrender
and memories that shine so loud
i place my hands to my ears
yesterday killed tomorrow
all i remember of love is its sorrow
i hold blurred pictures, vaguely familiar
of which i never speak
to surface the cut so deep
perhaps waking joy from its sleep
as the clear sky gives way to rain
perhaps the sun returns again?
i want to hold everything that i have
i want to love like i thought i once had
i want to write down what once felt so different
i've have kept so long from the page
yesterday killed tomorrow
all i remember of love is its sorrow
i hold blurred pictures vaguely familiar
of which i never speak
facing the hill so steep
i want to lie, but i have to believe
there is a moment where every man
must choose to fall or stand
i stand where many before
asked questions of love from afar
in moments the answers appear
in moments they disappear
yesterday killed tomorrow
all i remember of love is its sorrow
i hold blurred pictures vaguely familiar
of which i never speak

They wonder if the clear sky will give way to rain or if the sun will return again.
The last stanza talks about how the singer wants to hold on to everything they have and love like they thought they once had. They want to write down what they once felt so different, but have kept from the page. The singer acknowledges that there is a moment when every person must choose to fall or stand.
