Mad Mad World
Sound Of The Blue Heart Lyrics

I stare into stormy eyes
Buying time through a veil of lies
Recalling all that was meant to be
All that is not here

With my pen i will write it down
In a mad mad world sits the sorry clown
Spreading his fingers an inch apart
I was so, so near

Grabbed all i could, but nothing real
Claimed to be everything for every need
Played the fool knowing all it seemed
This fool never believe

I fought love, i fought tears
Fell to loneliness my fear
Held my head against my will
On a pedestal for all these years
I am lost in a mad, mad world

Sting of truth a sigh of relief
When the innocent hearts did believe
Made it all so easy then
I forget how it feels

I turn from the ragged lines
I burn from what i denied
And tied down by heartless guilt
Weak from what remains

I fought love, i fought tears
Fell to loneliness my fear
Held my head
Against my will
On a pedestal for all these years

I am lost
In a mad mad worldnot quite right but i understand
An innocent man doesn't stand a chance
Hide your tears at any cost
Keep love someplace far

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?"
