This is the first album that The Boys From Melbourne Street recorded using digital technology at Beatski Studios  Nr Crediton, the idea was to reproduce as close to a live sound as possible, reproducing not only concert format but also combining rehearsal sound imagary as well, Paul Cox guested as fiddle player on a couple of tracks, but essentially this is the first of a number of explorations into natural sound reproduction for the band.

What you get on this album is what you hear live, there was very little effect on vocals with only a single harmony vocal layer to enhance a few lines. This album is  a collection of love songs taking the listener through a whole gambit of emotions from turmoil to bliss to confusion to excitement essentially the whole emotional range that we experience in a relationship.

This is a gentle album with easy sounds and rhythms to carry you away to place that we often try to avoid but inevietably have to deal with eventually. The album cover was taken by Colin's son James Wilson who is a photographer and Illustrator as well as a musician, on a glorious sunny morning on Budleigh Salterton beach, where land meets sea, you can capture this imagary of the landscape and magic in the song " This Love" you can even hear the sea at the beginning of the song, if you are ever in Devon, do go to this beach there is a special energy there and you will feel a bit different in a good way from the experience .

The theme is continued with the remaining tracks depicting frustration and anger in "Not Enough For You" the waiting game of a date in "Dancing In Time" and all that goes with being kept hanging around for a little bit too long, and then there is that feeling of regret in "Like I Used To Do".

This is an album full of raw emotion which connects to the individual soul and reflects the fact that you are not alone with any of these feelings which is why it is called "Songs From The Heart".

"There are some truths in all of the songs and must not be confused with some of the light hearted dreamy love songs that have no backbone to the lyrics churned out factory style by more popular writers, some of this is strong stuff and is in a different class"
