“Sing like you don’t need the money
Love like you’ll never get hurt
Dance like nobody’s watchin’
It’s gotta come from the heart if you want it to work.”

June of 2012 • Requested by Clyde Evans • Tauro font by Daniel Zadorozny

Susanna Clark is the wife of famed songwriter and musician Guy Clark. Her husband had been suffering from writer’s block and was having a rough time adhering to a recording contract. He was cursing and fuming, Susanna soon got exasperated with him. She shooed him out of the house and told him to go for a walk. Then her and their friend and fellow songwriter Richard Leigh wrote the song together in about a half an hour.

The quote itself has often misappropriated to another of authors, including Mark Twain, but the earliest known written form of it comes in their song “Comes from the Heart”.

The song itself is beautiful.
