about

Heavy Heart – The Kerels.


Don't really like to explain songs i've written, but in this case:

Steve Veg's (Howells) dog (Baggins) had gone missing while we were both living in Concordia and playing for Archie Pelago. Concordia is kind of a last stop before Soweto, if you're coming from the Jo'burg side, where the Shifty studio used to be for a while. This song was written during the time that Steve still had no clues as to where Baggins may be. Baggins was on the Voelvry tour with us and could be partially responsible for me having turned into a dog.

Steve did eventually find his charred body, in a plastic bag, in the veld.
Ouch!

Travel light, Baggins. May the biscuits be with you.

The song is also another example of the machine that is Andrew Cleland and Gary Sparks.

Heavy Heart is taken from The Chrome Sweet Chrome album, the recording of which was initiated by Warrick Sony and completed by Lloyd Ross.


Muchly thank you, once again.
Gary Kerel.
