Red Candy Heart

My latest song, "Red Candy Heart" recorded live with Keaton Wilson on Saturday is available for free download, click here: Red Candy Heart free download
The recipe called for some spicy sweetness with a dash of craving, and I think it came out just right. Please take a listen and if you like it, leave a comment right here to let us know we've done good!  

I wrote this song for the Renee Grant-Williams Valentine's songwriting contest. Entries are now closed. Winner gets a free 1 hour voice lesson with this vocal coach of the stars. She's in Nashville and some of her clients include:  Miley Cyrus, Tim McGraw, Linda Ronstadt, Jason Aldean, Faith Hill, Huey Lewis, Martina McBride, Chicago, Dixie Chicks, Ben Folds, Scott Stapp (Creed), Kenny Chesney, Pam Tillis, Keith Urban, Hank Williams III...

Naturally you can see why I'd be very psyched indeed to win this competition, however I have to say that win or lose, I'm very happy with having a new recording out to share with my people.
 
Lyrics:

Red candy heart, spicy sweet and just for me
You are my favorite Valentine treat
Mmm, Red candy heart, God formulated you
Up in heaven for my Earthly tounge, taste and see
the Lord is good!

You're good to the last little bite
I ought to ration you through these troublin' times
But I took you for granted, lost my self control
Now I'm empty handed and scroungin' for more

Mmm, red candy heart, please supply me by the ton
So hard to find by Summertime, I'll stock up this Valentine's
MMm, red candy heart, God formulated you
Up in heaven for my Earthly tounge, taste and see
the Lord is good!
