	www.RipeMusic.com ~ "Hey Heart" is a gorgeous romantic ballad about remembered romance._____Splice Dave Matthews with Vanessa Carlton and the sound would be pure RIPE, a NYC-based progressive pop/rock band. The live show is a high-energy mix of musicianship and pure fun. The singers, Christa McNamee, Leia Thompson and Jessica Grant, weave intricate harmony. The instrumentalists often play blindfolded, switch instruments for their own amusement and use musical quotes in their solos. RIPE sings about big things like broken hearts and painful break-ups and small things like cab rides at 3:20 am. (Ripe's Bio - continued if you click on the song title)

Lyrics "As I have gotten older and 'softer' I have discovered the emotional impact of music. In the past it was strickly the physical connection of and idea or series of ideas that made up a good song. I had little interest in the emotional connection. After watching two children of mine growing up through the years I have discovered that emotional experience and I can finally realize the magic of the "Beatles" and many of the great power ballads of the past 20 years.. The song "Hey Heart" from Ripe is at or near the top of the list of songs that can evoke an inner emotion when listened to. The song is about the relationship of two people drifting apart and the confusion involved in this relationship as the women misses the "way things were, once" and asks if things may ever get back to the way they where. It should be a strong contender for any compilation that is built around songs that stir the emotion. It's one of the best I've ever heard!" -Charlie Harrelson, Evor.com
