about

From the first listen of a rough demo, the song’s theme was decided almost immediately. My Black Heart would become an homage to the queen of rock, Joan Jett. Its story is about a young man not only discovering rock-n-roll, but falling for its icon. Despite being recorded in numerous locations, from a proper recording studio in Texas to a living room in Las Vegas, My Black Heart is a cohesive punk rock anthem that will have listeners hooked before the first chorus ends. Its charging guitars and tight rhythm section are capped off with a snarling attitude as the lyrics tell a story of discovery and lifelong commitment to rock.

lyrics

Song Lyrics:

Got a guitar in her hands
Knocked me out when I was ten
In the pages of a Hit Parade
Fell in love with my first babe

Discovered I love rock-n-roll
When they played my favorite song

Black Heart
Black Heart
Loved her from the start
My Black Heart

Joan Jett
Joan Jett

Was the summer of 83
Her videos on repeat
TV plays on thru the night
Alone with her in crimson light

One look from her, I explode
My young heart, could not hold

Black heart
Black heart
Loved her from the start
My Black Heart

Joan Jett
Joan Jett
Joan Jett

When I saw her on the stage
Reputation had no shame
Tough look so confident
Now I know just what she meant

She knocked me out, Runaway
My heart is black to this day

Black Heart
Black Heart
Loved her from the start
My Black Heart

Joan Jett
Joan Jett
Joan Jett

Black Heart
Black Heart
Black from loving you
My Black Heart

Joan Jett
Joan Jett
Joan Jett

Black Heart
Black Heart
Do you wanna touch
My Black Heart

Joan Jett
Joan Jett
Joan Jett

Black Heart
Black Heart
She’s the Cherry Bomb
My Black Heart

Monster Soup Los Angeles, California

Formed in 1992 from the remnants of their high school metal band, the members of Monster Soup strategically decided to shift gears in the midst of the grunge uprising, ushering in a full music and image rebrand. Drawing on influences from the 1970s, Monster Soup would re-emerge as a kaleidoscope of punk / funk / metal and pop culture often dubbed as “sex rock“. ... more
