My Heart Dies Hard
© 2006 Blindsidemusic, LLC
Lyrics by DW Borro & Randy Bodnar
Music by Randy Bodnar
Should have seen your eyes plead
A look that cut so deep
You wanted everything, everything but me
Hope has failed to pursued me
Hard to describe the kind of woman the pain has made me
Chorus
I loved you with reckless abandon
Just to find you standin
I played my last card
You know my heart dies hard
Verse
Lost in the freedom forced on me
Living a life I didn’t think I’d be
Now you want it back together
Well you broke my soul forever
Hope has failed to pursued me
Hard to describe the kind of woman this pain has made me
Chorus
Well I loved you with reckless abandon
Just to find you standin
I played my last card
You know my heart dies hard
Yes I loved you with reckless abandon
Just to find you standin
I played my last card
You know my heart dies hard

| Who's Next Music Review - Over You & Shared My Name
|
Posted: Aug 9, 2007
|
August 6, 2007
Who’s Next? Music e-zine
New Music Review
Los Angeles, CA
Reviewed by Marianne Brooks
Words straight out of DW Borro’s mouth are “some of my songs take me fifteen minutes to live and three years to write” and what I am thinking, as I review his music, is some songs take fifteen seconds to hit your heart and stay with you for years to come.
The first song that hit me this way was “Over you.”
First, allow me to share the lyrics:
Thought I was stronger, stronger than this
The touch of your skin, the taste of your kiss
All of the memories, the things I do miss?
I'm living without you but I'll tell you this???
Chorus: I never got over you, ?I never got over you,
I told you I did, this I know true
But I never got over you
This song is delivered with a simple, acoustic guitar accompaniment and sensitive, yet striking vocals. “Over You” is authentic - DW is the real deal. He delivers lyrics in an honest and straight-forward manner that is so true to life that I actually felt musically vulnerable. And what I mean by this is that the song opened old wounds and healed them at the same time with the basic tools of a great melody. Borro hits you where in counts - in your heart and he accomplishes this with songs and lyrics that are universal. By hitting a universal chord, Borro's song "Over You" tells the timeless story of love lost without ever sounding bitter.
Any one who has truly loved someone and lost a great love will relate – deeply relate – to I never got over you. In fact, I think the song should be title just that “I never got over you” because it says everything that needs to be said in that one phrase. It's poetic in a sense. Simply put, there are some loves…and some songs that you simply don’t get over. They live and dance and sing in your heart forever. This song has just that quality.
Borro is a singer-songwriter who knows his craft in a literary sense. In other words, he is keenly aware that he is telling a story. I thought the most beautiful song on his album was “Shared My Name.” DW explains that the story is of the very first time he saw his wife walk through the chapel door. She took his breath away. The lyrics of the song will also take your breath away. It is set to the peaceful arpeggios of the acoustic guitar, spiritual and simple. It tells a story that every woman wants to hear and every man wishes he had the words for on their wedding day.
It was love at first sight
Didn’t take a minute more?
Then over the threshold and we closed the door?
Sheets and Pillows lie in a mess?
On the floor lays your wedding dress??
Chorus:?For better or worse ?
For More or Less?
Saying I do?I’ll never second guess?
Moonlight shines through the window pane?
On the very first night?
You shared my name
This song could hit the country charts without a doubt. The song is successful in the capturing the emotions of the moment and of a lifetime. Doug captures all that is important: he sings about feelings that are down to earth (on the floor lays your wedding dress) and magical (it was love at first sight), and mystical (moonlight shines through the window pane) and he sings about commitment (I never second guess…you shared my name). Basically, this is a hit wedding song.
So what is next for DW Borro? Here’s what I think. Borro is a phenomenal lyricist and a talented songwriter. He always delivers a strong chorus. He could work on adding some bridges and he needs to build more into the chorus, but all of this is a matter of good, solid production. DW is slightly understated and like a lot of modest talent, he needs a producer who can bring a bigger sound out of him. A good producer could have these songs hitting the charts, especially “Shared My Name.” With production, I can hear some subtle violins and piano, some percussion, some harmonies and double backing on the vocals – not a lot, just a touch but that is what is missing and this isn’t for any lack of ability – today's music industry demands sharp engineering and production. On the other hand, DW will have no problem maintaining a loyal fan base just the way he is. It's a matter of hitting big time success as a songwriter or simply winning hearts over, one listener at time. As for me, he had me in the first fifteen seconds.
Song Review: Over You
Rating – 4 (with production - DW's songs could chart).

| Still Review by Mike Q
|
Posted: Jul 30, 2007

Still
DW Borro
There’s an old adage that says “a picture is worth a thousand words.” In his new video “Still,” DW Borro melds the power of exquisitely-crafted lyrics with video images that stop viewers in their tracks.
A poignant tale of love and loss, “Still” is the a reflection of Borro’s skill as a singer/songwriter and Schellie Rothi’s (Taltos Video Productions) virtuosity as a filmmaker.
In “Still,” the two genres are blended perfectly, with the action in the video driving home Borro’s powerful and subtle lyrics. Rothi backs him up with clean and simple action—Borro turning his back to the camera, for example—that clearly signals how rest of the story will unfold.
Borro considers the song the best he’s ever written lyrically. “The song is a collage of real events, real emotions and heartbreak,” he says. “The characters have been changed to protect the heart of the innocent.” He won’t reveal the exact origin of the story, but he’ll give you a glimpse:
Time don't fly/It crawls and creeps/
layin in bed/prayin for sleep/
it is what it is/your not mine you’re his/
This wasn't part of the plans that we made
Your first impression might be that the character in the story is a jilted lover. Then the imagery changes and you realize what’s really happened: a man has lost his soul mate. And that’s what enthralls Borro’s fans: the twist that he’s able to add to the story he tells with his song.
“Still” feels real because Borro draws from actual experience. “Cathy (Borro’s wife) and I were moving some old boxes she had and one was filled with some of her late husbands things,” he recalls. “She was sorting through the box when I walked in the room. She seemed numb. The finality of her loss hit me for the first time. I finished the song a few days later.”
Watch the video, listen to DW Borro’s powerful, soulful voice, and you’ll understand why “Still” draws you in.

| John & Doreen's Wedding
|
Posted: Jul 30, 2007
|
We played in Tuxedo Park, NY at John & Doreen Resner's wedding this weekend. It went great and I have to say they went all out. John had hired a string quartet because of the second verse of the song "music came from the violins". He came up to me laughing after and had said, I only got the quartet because of you, I needed some violins so we stayed true to the song. I don't think I have been hugged as much in my entire life and it looks like Cathy & I have a newly adopted mom & grandma.
Congrats John & Doreen!

|
Posted: Mar 11, 2007

[url=www.bluesbunny.com/tabid/122/xmmid/474/xmid/47/xmview/2/default.aspx]Blues Bunny: "More like a confessional than entertainment, you will appreciate these songs at some point in your life. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow but someday, you will listen and realize that you are not the only one in pain" [/url]
Here is the whole review:
Fond as the Bluesbunny is of loud guitars, we still appreciate music that is altogether more personal. This 5 track release from DW Borro proved that it is indeed possible to capture pain in a song. Don't get us wrong, however. This is not a depressing album but it is quite difficult to listen to. There are times when you feel more like his close friend than a mere listener.
All of the songs are ballads of pain, loss and confusion. It is unusual to find a male singer that confronts relationship issues as directly as DW Borro does. Maybe that is what makes these songs a bit uncomfortable to listen to. "Slow Suicide" tells the salutary tale of the effects of a decaying relationship. It is hard to describe the effect of "Shared My Name" other than to say that it hurts. "Still" is sentimental and strikes a resonant note for those of us who have lost in love. Way back when "new country" was both new and country, songs as strong as these would have been lapped up. Nowadays, we can only hope that there are enough people out there still looking and listening for something real to properly appreciate them.
It isn't happy music. It isn't joyful music. It is, however, honest music. Strange as it seems in today's fame obsessed world, there are still people out there who make music because they want - or need - to and not because it is the quick route to a Ferrari. More like a confessional than entertainment, you will appreciate these songs at some point in your life. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow but someday, you will listen and realise that you are not the only one in pain. Available by worldwide mail order from CD Baby

Well I will be on Canadian Music Television. I will be on the broadcast for about a month with a 24-7 availability of the video on their web site. They are cable broadcast in Ontario. Now the funny thing is you need a video in order to be on a Music Television show.
We are filming "Shared My Name" in the The Tlaquepaque Chapel in Sedona AZ on 12-15 or 12-16. Thats where Cathy & I got married and actually our wedding planner Heather Bosick of www.WeddingsInSedona.com got the whole thing set up in a day. We have the concept done with the videographer Shelli Rothi at www.taltosvideo.com.
So we will see, I hate having my picture taken let alone a video. I had not planned on doing a video at all, but if you have the opportunity I guess you can't pass it by.
Once its in the can we will load it up on this site too.

Slow Suicide: "The passion in the vocals is mesmerizing on this track and will draw in listeners immediately"
Still: "A beautiful hurt comes through clearly in the vocals delivery of this track, Douglas. Some great one-liners (strangers disguised as you). The character set up is well crafted. The tone and fell of the arrangement leans more towards a folk-based singer/songwriters"

| Reviews of a few of my songs

Posted: Nov 15, 2006

“Unique line- "The only pleasure they gave is the pain that they'd kill." The sparse instrumentation helps add to the feeling of solitude that our singer is conveying,”
“DW, You write about emotions that are universal, in a conversational way that can be comprehended even on first listen. You've got a strong voice and you sell these songs well with your heartfelt delivery.”
“very rare for just a singer and a guitar to be enough to make a track work, but it does here.”
“DW, you can always tell when someone is singing/writing from the heart. it's usually in the simplicty of the song.”

Just great, six strings and the truth. "There ain't a night with you I don't replay", one of many great lines.

Liar
Written by DW Borro
© 2006 Blindsidemusic, LLC BMI
www.blindsidemusic.net
I’ve been acting like a stranger
A liar to myself
I know I told you that I love you
But I’m in love with someone else
Chorus
And as you get near
And you whisper that way
It’s her voice that I hear
In everything you say
Verse
You couldn’t see me shattered
‘Cause I’m hiding in the night
Making love with you just like she didn’t matter
What I’m doing just ain't right
Chorus
And as you get near
And you whisper that way
It’s her voice that I hear
In everything you say
Verse
I know this is gonna end
It won’t be pretty
We won’t be friends
Too weak to leave
And afraid to tell
That I drove us straight to hell
Chorus
And as you get near
And you whisper that way
It’s her voice that I hear
In everything you say

You Made Me Stagger
Written By DW Borro
(c) 2004 DW Borro
(c) 2006 Blindsidemusic, LLC
You made me stagger out of control.
Hoping you wouldn’t be letting me go out of mind
or out of sight
because there is nowhere I would rather be tonight.
Dreams just linger like a song in my head,
kind of like things I wished I had said ,,,to you,
I’ve had my share of coming-ups
and I have been down for quite a few
I hope I have a place to fall in you.
You made me stagger out of control
Hoping you wouldn’t be letting me go
out of mind
or out sight
because there is nowhere I would rather be tonight.
There is nowhere I would rather be tonight.

Working copy, I still need one more verse:
Shared My Name
Written by DW Borro
© 2006 Blindsidemusic, LLC BMI
www.blindsidemusic.net
It was love at first sight
Didn’t take a minute More
Then over the threshold and we closed the door
Sheets and Pillows lie in a mess
On the floor lays your wedding dress
Chorus
For Better or worse
For More or Less
Saying I do
I’ll never second guess
Moonlight shines through the window pane
On the very first night
You shared my name
Verse
Music came from the violin
You took my breath away
When you walked in
Our vows are sitting on the dresser drawers
In my arms they mean so much more
Chorus
For Better or worse
For More or Less
Saying I do
I’ll never second guess
Moonlight shines through the window pane
On the very first night
You shared my name

This story is really compelling and very thick with deep emotion. The verses are super strong lyrically - really vivid in painting the emotions with lines like "the perfume would linger in the sheets where you'd lay there ain't a night with you I don't replay / clinging to scars" - very strong imagery!

I have had many compliments on how well the bio section of the web site was written. Mostly starting with “who wrote it?” Jeanna “Gae” Garrett wrote the introduction portion of the site. JG has her own Virtual Assistant business at www.gapva.com. Check it out if you have a chance or need a helping hand with your business. She is a gifted writer so if you need a hand on how to say something just right, shoot her an email through the link on her site.

I like the 'anger at god' idea. I might suggest that you try to add more to that. That might help to really show that your upset, and basically pissed. That would really help to grab attention.

"It's not easy to forget your material. It's been awhile since I last heard these songs, but the second each of them begin to play I can easily recall the melody lines from the last time I heard them. Your voice is warm and emotionally affecting. It seems perfectly suited for such sparse sounding arrangements."
"The vocal performances are intimate in such a way that sounds very compelling emotionally, and the songs feature melody lines that are almost instantly memorable."

Slow Suicide
Written by: DW Borro,R Bodnar, JG Borro
© 2006 Blindsidemusic, LLC
Layin in bed not speakin
I look over at you to see if you are sleepin
There is more between us than these covers
Mostly strangers, hardly lovers
Chorus
Feels like a part of me has died
The rest is hanging on to survive
Without out a sound my heart died
Stayin with you has been a slow suicide
Verse
You don’t know I know about him
I don’t know where you are going
But I know where you been
I found his name and key in your purse
I don’t know if knowin or not knowin is worse
Chorus
Feels like a part of me has died
The rest is hanging on to survive
Without out a sound my heart died
Stayin with you has been a slow suicide
Verse
I look at you and who you’ve become
I can’t believe I thought you were the one
You’ll try and tell me its all ok
What you do is worth more than anything you say
Chorus
Feels like a part of me has died
The rest is hanging on to survive
Without out a sound my heart died
Stayin with you has been a slow suicide
