"The Heart of the Matter" as written by Don Henley Mike Campbell. Many breakup songs get bogged down in rancor and recrimination, but here is one that strives for something nobler, even as it admits how hard it is to get there. But I think it's about forgiveness  What are these voices outside love's open door But I think it's about forgiveness Souther. “I had not heard the edit before it went to radio, so I was surprised and disappointed, as that section was my melody and lyric,” Souther told me.

There's a yearning undefined But my will gets weak Non-lyrical content copyright 1999-2020 SongMeanings, Javascript must be enabled for the correct page display, Testimony: Vol. JD Souther summed it up by saying that it’s a song that he and Don Henley probably couldn’t have written in their younger days and by explaining that, as difficult as it might be, finding forgiveness is, as the adage says, divine. And I thought of all the bad luck, Copyright: Writer(s): Don Henley, John David Souther, Michael W. Campbell Lyrics Terms of Use. Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Warner Chappell Music, Inc. Log in now to tell us what you think this song means. The more I know, the less I understand “Don and I had both had recent breakups of serious relationships, which first focuses the mind and later expands its range,” Souther said. It peaked at #21 on the Billboard 100. The song is about a man who finds out his former lover has found someone else, which is exactly what they were both going through at the time. Don Henley knew to listen when Mike Campbell came calling with a piece of music. Ah, the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness They're the very things we kill, I guess Oh, pride and competition Cannot fill these empty arms And the work I put between us, you know it doesn't keep me warm I'm learning JD Souther, who had long collaborated with the Eagles while carving out a successful solo career in his own right, was the obvious choice. In the chorus, Henley possessed the insight to boil it all down to a single word that sums up what we all should be striving for in their lives, especially as time, which we once seemed to have in abundance, seems to slip through our fingers: “Forgiveness.”. Souther, who was a frequent collaborator with the Eagles. I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my heart is so shattered But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even … How I lost me and you lost you But I miss you, baby Written by Don Henley, Mike Campbell, J.D. And my thoughts seem to scatter I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear Henley wrote the lyrics with J.D. You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside, I wanna be happily everafter We all need a little tenderness “Difficult? “Then I heard him perform it and it was back in, so I was surprised and delighted.”, Henley and Souther broaden the focus in the second verse to encompass a general malaise (“a yearning undefined/People filled with rage”) that seemed to be symptomatic of the times. And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness Are the very things we kill, I guess Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms And the world they put between us, you know it doesn't keep us warm I've been trying They're the very things we kill, I guess As Souther told me in an interview for my book Playing Back The 80s: A Decade Of Unstoppable Hits, the music suggested what the lyrics would say. But I know it's about forgiveness But I knew that it would come So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness Even if you don't love me anymore. And my heart is so shattered To the heart of the matter but my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore Ah, these times are so uncertain There's a yearning We all Don’t have an account? Even if, even if you don't love me, I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter Well, yes, it seems improbable if not impossible to find perspective when you’re hurting. Even if, even if you don't love me anymore, All the people in your life who've come and gone Forgiveness Once Henley possessed the music, he went looking for some help fleshing out the lyrics. Indeed, the first lines of “The Heart Of The Matter” tell the news of the narrator’s former flame finding someone new, putting him in a wistful, reminiscing mood: “And I … Even if you don't love me anymore All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again The more I know, the less I understand I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter But everything changes And my friends seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore There are people in your life who Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms Become Part of a 35 Year Tradition American Songwriter has been the number one resource on The Craft of Music for Songwriters and Music Enthusiasts since 1984, Part 2 of our birthday tribute today, about how Artie championed and defined Simon's songwriting brilliance before the world caught on, The Penguins' "Earth Angel," built around an intriguing oxymoronic title, triggered Simon's lifelong love of writing songs. Many have speculated Elton John’s... John Prine's longtime guitarist on three essential Prine lines Jason Wilber. But forgiveness is sacred and the first one to benefit is the one who forgives.”. Are you a songwriter? Written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John Sometimes songs are literally what they mean. And people filled with rage Before we get to the heart of the matter, I'd like to assure each of you that your jobs are secure. It’s better to seek out the album version, which features the straightforward plaint of the narrator (“I’m learning to live without you now/But I miss you sometimes”), which, as Souther remembered, was one of his main contributions. And all the struggles we went through Indeed, the first lines of “The Heart Of The Matter” tell the news of the narrator’s former flame finding someone new, putting him in a wistful, reminiscing mood: “And I thought of all the bad luck and the struggles we went through/How I lost me and you lost you.” Henley muses about the tendency for even those who are seemingly at peace in a relationship to seek greener pastures: “What are these voices outside love’s open door/Make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more?”, If you hear “The Heart Of The Matter” on the radio, you might hear an edit that sends the song rocketing somewhat awkwardly from the end of the verse to the chorus. The first time it happened, Campbell provided Henley with the foundation for his biggest solo hit, 1984’s “The Boys Of Summer.” When Campbell delivered another unused instrumental piece as Henley was making 1989’s The End Of The Innocence, the end result was “The Heart Of The Matter,” which became the album’s closing track and turned into one of the most resonant ballads of the decade. You know it doesn't keep us warm, I've been trying to live without you now The song is … Happy 79th Birthday, Paul Simon, Part 2: Art Garfunkel, Simon’s First Songwriting Champion, Happy 79th Birthday, Paul Simon, Part 1: The Song that Inspired Simon to Become a Songwriter, Behind The Song: Elton John, “Rocket Man”, The Zen of John Prine (In Three Lines) by Jason Wilber.
