About This Track

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry” is a song by Scottish alternative rock band Glasvegas. The song was written and composed by the band’s singer and guitarist James Allan.
The song is a power ballad featuring singing, electric guitar, bass guitar, and drum kit. The lyrics explore the concepts of inevitable guilt and regret resulting from infidelity within an interpersonal relationship. The genre employed in the song is heavily guitar-based, making use of delay and reverb effects; and produced using the Wall of Sound technique.

“It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry” was originally released as a download single through Sane Man on 7 February 2008, and a limited edition 7” one week later. The song received mostly positive reception from music journalists, with single reviews praising its lyrical content and production and likening it to the work of The Jesus and Mary Chain.

    it's one of the songs that make me feel miserably old and miserably miserable, constantly reminding me how I used to be, how I had no idea what might happen in the years to come, what I felt, how I had massive and permanent heartbreaks seven days a week and so on at the age of eighteen. shame on you, you self-loathing bastard.

    If you don't know anything about singing- and I refer here to real singing, please consider that to sing certain melodies, hit certain notes, hold said notes, shift octaves, keys, etc. takes a great deal of concentration. Which is why the vast majority of singers in rock and roll aren't really very good singers- they're more or less vocalists who are fronting the band, i.e. entertaining the chicks, etc.. Chris Martin sounded much better singing live when he sat at the piano and focused rather than the rock star trip he does now. Same goes for Brandon Flowers. Personally I'd rather hear the amazing vocal performances of James Allan than see him dance around like a fairy. Tim Booth is about the only singer who can pull it off in my humble opinion.
