AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Anybody familiar with Non Credo will know that love songs are not exactly our forte. Or I guess more specifically they are not my forte. I write the lyrics. That said, Non Credo was asked to contribute a piece to a compilation CD of love songs. Now, of course, this could be interpreted rather loosely. After all, it was for an obscure experimental avant-garde German release…that never got released (we put it out on another compilation). I, of course, wanted to take it literally. What fun!!! A love song!!! I can do that. How hard can it be? Now, what you have to understand is that, at the time, my relationship was going through…a phase…and well…I had been out of work for a bit too long and I was suffering from mild depression…for which I prescribed for myself lots and lots of daytime television. I do not recommend it. What I was completely taken by was the fact that so many women would get up on national TV and say “When he gives me a black eye, breaks my arm and leaves me in a crumpled bloody heap on the floor…at least I know he loves me”.
This is the inspiration for “Latex Heart”.
