 TITLE: Heart Drop ARTIST: Sara Daniels WRITERS: Sara Daniels & Vara Gallo LENGTH: 3:31 GENRE: Indie rock, pop, alternative rock PRODUCER: Reza Vranitzky LABEL: Titanic Records RELEASED: December 31st, 2014 From the Album: Heart Drop (Released October 22nd, 2014)
The tenth track on Sara Daniels' debut album is the title track, called "Heart Drop." The style of the song - in terms of the instrumentals - is very reminiscent of Sara's fourth single that she released, "Where the Lights Shine" - which is also track five on this album. Both of them have the same style of a sort of "dark pop" sound, which is a genre that seems to work very well for Sara, making "Where the Lights Shine" a very popular single, and "Heart Drop" the title track of the debut album.
The song deals with a difficult situation that Sara found herself in - seeing two men at the same time, with neither of them knowing about each other, and having the two men meet accidentally. She starts off the song with two verses, each of them describing the relationship she has with each of the two men. The first verse seems to describe the man that she met second, explaining that she was unaware of the consequences of her actions by leading two men on, saying that she "gave into [her] confidence" in thinking that she could get away with it. The second verse describes her relationship with her first boyfriend, saying that they "played house" together. This is obviously the man that she has a more serious relationship with, implying that they either live together or spend enough time together to have a running dialogue of the household. In the end of the second verse, she tells him not to forget that if he thinks of her, she'll think of him and of their future, too. She's telling him that if he focuses more on her, then she'll focus more on him, showing the listener that this affair was brought on by her feelings of being neglected by her first boyfriend. It's unknown if the first boyfriend understands what she means, because when the chorus comes it, it seems like all hell has broken loose, and Sara's confidence in herself well ill-placed. The chorus describes Sara's inner feelings when her two boyfriends accidentally meet each other with Sara there. Her heart drops when they meet each other's eyes, because she knows that she's been caught. She says that nothing she could say in that situation could save any of them - she knows that neither of them would believe any "drunken stories" about possible one-night-stands, or "real hallelujahs" about her seeing the error of her ways. There's a sense that Sara wants the audience to feel sympathy for her because of this situation, but she also understands that she put herself into this situation herself with her lies.
It's unknown which boyfriend Sara is talking to in the next verse, but most would assume it's the more serious boyfriend, since she mentions knowing his family. Sara half-assly tries to brush off what's happening between them, telling her boyfriend that "love's not all roses" and that "you have to have the thorns, too." She asks him what he's going to tell his family when they ask about her, wondering if he'll tell them the truth about all the lies she's told, or if he'll tell them a lie to save face for Sara - acting like everybody about her is "alright." Sara seems against him lying for her, insisting that nothing about her is "alright," but that she's stubborn, and will stick to her guns and her pride no matter what he says about her. Sara sings the chorus for a second time, flowing into the bridge where she asks her boyfriends why they need to know anything else about the cheating situation when they know that they have her to blame. She doesn't think they need to know anything more than that she fucked up and hurt both of them. She tells them that she's not going to lie to them anymore because she knows that there's not point in fighting when you've already been found out - referring to the whole thing as a "game" - but that she still doesn't think they need to know any more information about what happened between all of them. She repeats the chorus again, this time changing the lyrics from "Could keep any of us together / When I thought I couldn't last a minute" to "Your mother says that she saw this coming / While your father only shook his head in pity." It seems that the boyfriend decided to tell his parents the truth, revealing that the parents also blame Sara for this mess - and rightly so. The song ends with Sara repeating, "Did you hear my heart drop / When you first came face-to-face?" with her singing in the background, "What is there to know when you have me to blame? / What is there to know when you have me to shame?" In the end, it seems like Sara is still somewhat in denial about all the hurt that she put these two men through, but still feels like she doesn't truly deserve any sympathy for the situation.
We
Were unaware of the consequences
Stupid, sure, but that's the way it is
I gave into my confidence
We
Weekly played house for an hour or two
But don't forget that if you think of me
I'll think of you
Our future, too
Why not?
I said, if you think of me
I'll think of you
Our future, too
Why not?
Did you hear my heart drop
When you met each other's eyes?
No sweet-talking and no words could save all of us
Did you hear my heart drop
When you introduced yourselves?
No drunken stories or real hallelujahs
Could keep any of us together
When I thought I couldn't last a minute
Did you hear my heart drop
When you first came face-to-face?
So,
We're finally seeing me for all my lies
Love's not all roses, like our mothers said
You have to have the thorns, too
So what will you say
To your family if they ask you?
Will it be truth
Or will you tell a lie to make me seem
Like I might be
Alright?
Nothing about me is alright
But I'll stick to my guns and pride
Gone for the rest of my life
Did you hear my heart drop
When you met each other's eyes?
No sweet-talking and no words could save all of us
Did you hear my heart drop
When you introduced yourselves?
No drunken stories or real hallelujahs
Could keep any of us together
When I thought I couldn't last a minute
Did you hear my heart drop
When you first came face-to-face?
What is there to know when you have me to blame?
What is there to know when you have me to blame?
No more point in fighting when you lose the game
What is there to know when you have me to shame?
Alright
Nothing about me is alright
But I'll stick to my guns and pride
Gone for the rest of my life
Did you hear my heart drop
When you met each other's eyes?
No sweet-talking and no words could save all of us
Did you hear my heart drop
When you introduced yourselves?
No drunken stories or real hallelujahs
Your mother says that she saw this coming
While your father only shook his head in pity
Did you hear my heart drop
When you first came face-to-face?
(What is there to know when you have me to blame?)
Did you hear my heart drop
When you first came face-to-face?
(What is there to know when you have me to shame?)
Did you hear my heart drop
When you first came face-to-face?SOUNDS LIKE:
