Shooting From My Heart

by Simon Scardanelli

about

Almost 30 years after Simon & Shark released “Shooting From My Heart” as Big Bam Boo, Simon has recorded this lovely, raw, totally acoustic & unique re-interpretation of the song that reached the US AOR top 20, the top 20 in Canada, and nudged low chart positions in the UK & Australia.

Singing with a voice imbued with those thirty years of rock ’n rollercoaster lifestyle, there’s a poignancy to the lyrics that wasn’t so obvious in 1989 - “...looking at a colourful past from a room with a view...” takes on a whole new meaning when sung by the original artist who’s dedicated his life to singing, writing & performing.

lyrics

Shooting From My Heart


VERSE 1

Somewhere in the back of my mind there's a picture of you

Falling like a stone from a cliff, what a beautiful view.

Wonder if the ships in the night know where they're going?

Never knowing where they belong.

We better not sail away, we better not go.

We better not fade away.

CHORUS

Calling from a strange land

Trying to make you understand

Promises of mystery

Come in to my heart

Could I be a free man

Living in a foreign land

Nothing left but memories

I tore it all apart

Shooting from my heart

VERSE 2

Looking at a colourful past from a room with a view
Fighting for a word in a book, that I know isn't true.
Screaming for the right to be heard, but never winning
Drowning in an ocean of blue.
We better not sail away, we better not go.
We better not fade away.

CHORUS etc…
