about
This energetic synth pop ear worm features shimmering vocal hooks, triumphant gang vocals, and nostalgic guitar licks reminiscent of feelgood dance tracks of the 1980s.
The song was written in Nashville in January of 2017 with songwriters Adam Palmer and Lainey Wright. After a 5 week spring tour, Dossey took it to Austin-based producer and mixer, Taylor Webb (Night Beds, Dossey's Electric EP), and together, the two started working on the song that ended up taking over 9 months to complete. Heartbeats was a song that really took digging to discover the gold. It has seen many renditions, but when Dossey added the starting theme of the song, "My heart it beats, beats", it seemed to finally shine. Now, this small piece seems to be cornerstone ear worm of an already super hooky, catchy jam.

lyrics
My heart it beats, beats.
My heart it, my heart it.
You're a light on when I come home
You're the fire on a night that's cold
You're a song I could never forget
A melody stuck inside of my head
My heart beating
Oh, you never were just ordinary
Oh, every moment sanctuary
Oh, I fall into your gravity
Oh, never ordinary
My heart it beats, beats
You're sun in a cloudy sky
You're a glass of my favorite wine
My heart beating,
Got me spinning
Oh, you never were just ordinary
Oh, every moment sanctuary
Oh, I fall into your gravity
Oh, never ordinary
My heart beating,
Got me spinning,
Am I dreaming?
Oh, you never were just ordinary
Oh, every moment sanctuary
Oh, I fall into your gravity
Oh, never ordinary
My heart it, my heart it.
You're a light on when I come home
You're the fire on a night that's cold
You're a song I could never forget
A melody stuck inside of my head
My heart beating
Oh, you never were just ordinary
Oh, every moment sanctuary
Oh, I fall into your gravity
Oh, never ordinary
My heart it beats, beats
You're sun in a cloudy sky
You're a glass of my favorite wine
My heart beating,
Got me spinning
Oh, you never were just ordinary
Oh, every moment sanctuary
Oh, I fall into your gravity
Oh, never ordinary
My heart beating,
Got me spinning,
Am I dreaming?
Oh, you never were just ordinary
Oh, every moment sanctuary
Oh, I fall into your gravity
Oh, never ordinary
