Behind the Songs Pt.4

Hello and welcome to the fourth part of my series, Behind the Songs, which includes brief discussions about some of the material from my CD, "The Byron Taylor Songbook." Today. I'd like to discuss the song "With All Of My Heart." I took me only fifteen minutes to write the song (I kid you not!). The words and music both came to me at the same time in a rush and I couldn't stop writing and re-writing till I finished the song. Also, the events in the song actually happened to me. A long time ago, I met a British girl who was on holiday at a bar after I came from recording, and it was like love at first sight. We hit it off that night and we kept in touch after she went back to England. We wound up having a long distance relationship and I even went to visit here a few times. But alas, like most long distance situations, it didn't work out. This song is really about trying to maintain a long distance relationship which is not always easy (I'm sure that those who have had one know exactly what I'm talking about!). Well, that's the story behind the song. Come back for more! BKT :)
