LYRICS:
Every time I see you something happens to me
Like a chain reaction between you and me
My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat
Every time
Whoa every time
Whoa
Every time I hear your heart beat next to me
I'm in love with you; I mean what I say
I'm in love with you, and you don't know
What it means to be with you
Beat
Beat
Beat
Heartbeat

Hey Ben. I'm an AVID Pet Shop Boys fan, I think that if Neil & Chris could hear this they would be blown away. It is AMAZING!!!! You really and truly a gifted musician.

[@MinuteTakerMusic]

Thanks very much Craig! Very kind of you. Maybe someone will show it to them one day :D

[@gordUK]

Written for Madonna if I remember rightly... I'll forever wonder at what brilliance could have been on that particular road, but this is an inspired cover - so much drama and intent with a loving nod to the original version. Like the actual sound of a heart missing a beat. Beautiful.

[@MinuteTakerMusic]

Thanks Gord. Oh yes, I remember hearing that they originally planned to give it to Madonna but they bottled out and released it themselves, haha. I can imagine her singing it but I'm glad they kept it :)

[@honeybaneofficial]

Was written for Hazel Dean, but was considered for Madonna at Shep Pettibones recommendation

[@thomasjones5421]

[@joelsheridan5622]

Hi Ben,
Thanks for sharing your cover of "Heart" with me. I actually like it more than the Pet Shop Boys original recording of it, and I like PSB a lot! With your looping vocals, and glockenspiel, you've made the song completely your own. That's the goal of every musical artist, and no small feat. Please feel free to explore my recordings and videos on my RUclips channel.
Keep up the great work... and Bravo!
Joel

[@edduj]

This was the first song of you that I heard! And falling in love ... with your kind of music!

[@sbsaran85]

Speechless...The music and sound made it's way into my heart and brought smile on my face. I really pray that you get the best of what you deserve. You should really try to get in The Voice, X factor, anything.. Please.

[@MinuteTakerMusic]

Thanks very much Siya. Very kind :)

[@sbsaran85]

Kindness is yours, you shared this version of your world with us...
