The lyric and music is so incredibly clean and hypnotic…wow. Yeah movie like dreamland amazing escape other world fest-ique.
Tripped a bit on cheat. Perfect rhyme, but in retreat, no surprise, unfair is arguable? But…she so relaxed, almost expected him back..haha.
Good song!!!

I was going to arrange several tracks in a row as a jazz suite, but ran out of motivation, haha. It would be about 20 minutes long.
I may get around to it...

I'll have to go back over the lyrics again, but the singer is not something for my ears, personally, but sounds like a great movie soundtrack!!!

Take My Mind Off My Heart © 2026 Robert George
Well, I shuffled through the fog
Down a dirty boulevard
To a revival theater on third
Snuck in a Hershey Bar
Watched Casablanca in the dark
And tried to take my mind off my heart
Wandered up the avenue
Then I listened to
Kind of Blue
In the dingy walk-up I call home
Sipped on some Cutty Sark
Cursed the neighbor’s mutt when he barked
And tried to take my mind off my heart
Take my mind off my heart
When I told him I cared
He’d always retreat
I always played fair
So why did he cheat
The knock was faint on my door
My fishnets whispered across the floor
And there he was with his hat in his hand
He said, “broken souls cry alike
I was four rows behind you tonight
Tryin’ to take my mind off my heart
Tryin’ to take my mind off my heart
My mind off my heart
