You Must Ask the Heart - Jonathan Richman

You Must Ask the Heart - Jonathan Richman
3:28
You Must Ask the Heart, 1995
Written by Jonathan Richman

Title trax!

This may be the only song narrated by a brain.  Well, maybe there are others, but this is one of the best.  This isn't one of JoJo's bright, silly songs, but a warm, gentle ballad.  The mind tells the listener that it can analyze, but doesn't understand love.  You must ask the heart "for the truth about love."  A simple message, in just a few lines, but deceptively deep.  It's true that love is not rational.  The heart wants what it wants.
