This song is about fear, anxiety and panic but also hope and finding a way out. When I wrote the song, I was lying in bed, worrying. My heart was racing, it was running around in circles, imagining dangers everywhere. So, I talked to my heart and told it to slow down - because there is no way you can win a race when you're panicking. In that night I created a mantra for myself which was soon going to be the chorus of this song: "Heart of mine, slow down, if you slow down, you'll win all life's races..."
In the song I am talking to my heart like a mother would talk to her frightened child: "It's alright..there is nothing to fear. Slow down, calm down, have faith, let go. You may want to win, but fear is your worst enemy. It makes you get lost. Have faith, let go of the fear and the sun will rise again.“ This is an important message for everyone to hear.
lyrics
Heart of Mine
“I’m scared” said my heart
As she set out to race through the night
Haunted by the dark,
Full of whispers that held her tight
She raced in big circles
Aimlessly and lost
Facing sky-hurdles
Trying to win at all costs
And I said:
"Heart of mine
Slow down
Heart of mine
Slow down
If you slow down, you’ll win all life’s races
Heart of mine
Calm down
Heart of mine
Calm down
If you calm down, you’re going places!"
“How can I calm down
with all those shadows that lie in wait
I’m trying to make my way
Through the maze they create
All I’m facing is dead-ends
Leading into the void
My view is blackened
My hope is destroyed!”
And I said:
"Heart of mine
Have faith
Heart of mine
Have faith
To every maze, there is a way out
Heart of mine
Have faith
Heart of mine
Have faith
If you have faith, to the sunlight you’ll step out!"
"Heart of mine
Slow down
Heart of mine
Have faith
Heart of mine
Calm down
Heart of mine
Let go!"

Heartfelt, authentic songs in three languages. Stories taken from real life with a touch of romance. Quiet sounds that make waves. Melodies that touch your heart. These are the keys to my music.
There's quite a strong Fleetwood Mac vibe running through this EP, especially on the song Tell Me Now, and The Ticking Tide as well. These two solo artists, both already creators of wonderful music in their own rights, work beautifully together. I'm hoping for more great songs from them in the future. Storm of Crows
This is one of my most listened to vinyl records - the songs just take me to a different place. The music as well as the lyrics are well crafted and want to make you listen over and over again. annikajaynefan
