00:10I think after Dominic joined me in 1990, about six or seven years later, he came to my house
00:19in England where I was writing and recording an album. And he said, I've got a riff. Play me
00:28the riff. I want to hear your riff. Play it, Don. I said, stop there. That's fantastic. Let me write
00:45a song
00:45around that riff. Music for me is like, it paints pictures. Music paints pictures and stories,
00:57narrative. And this song is called The Shape of My Heart. Dominic, take it away.
01:24It deals with cards as a meditation.
01:30Those he plays never suspect. He doesn't play for the money he wins. He'll play for respect.
01:47He deals with cards to find the answer. The sacred geometry of chance. The hidden laws of a probable outcome.
02:05While the numbers lead a dance. I know that the spades are the stars of a soldier. I know that
02:17the clubs
02:17are weapons of weapons of war. I know that diamonds mean money for this art. But that's not the shape
02:29of my heart.
02:33He may play the jack of diamonds. He may lay the queen of spades. He may conceal a king in
02:48his hand. While the memory of it fades. I know that the spades are the stars of a soldier.
03:01I know that the club. I know that the clubs are the stars of a soldier. I know that the
03:04clubs are weapons of war. I know that the diamonds need money for this art. But that's not the shape
03:14of my heart.
03:16And that's not the shape. The shape of my heart.
03:29The shape of my heart.
03:53And if I told you that I loved you
03:58You'd maybe think there's something wrong
04:04I'm not a man of too many faces
04:10This mask I wear is one
04:16For those who speak not nothing
04:21And find out to their cost
04:26Like those who curse their luck
04:28In too many places
04:32And those who fear of loss
04:35I know that the swathes are the swords of a soldier
04:43I know that the clubs are weapons of war
05:15I know the timers
05:18I know that the swathes are the best
05:31I know that the swathes are the best
