Make Me Blue Make Me Blue
A poppy number that I think layers happiness with the resignation of unhappiness musically and lyrically. Besides, it's just a fun tune.

Version 1.1, 3/13/04. Upbeat slithering sort of a song with a jangly undercurrent.

Heath Houston is a songwriter first and foremost. Almost anything you hear on here is based on that aspect of my abilities. As a matter of fact it's the only aspect I consider to be developed to a point where I feel comfortable with it. I'm not an accomplished guitarist, drummer, bassplayer, or singer. I have aspirations, though. I still have a 15 year old kid air-guitaring to Mtv inside me somewhere who wants to be on a stage in front of 10,000 fans, but I'm really very humble at heart.
This page is just me and my songs... no one else. Maybe in the future I'll find some like minded individuals to form a band with. I wouldn't mind that. For now, though, it's just me expressing myself.
I write songs because I can't imagine not writing songs. I make music because it's part of who I am. I'm making music in my head most all of my waking hours and quite a few sleeping ones as well. I appreciate the feedback and listens that I have been fortunate enough to have been given. Thank you for visiting and feel free to drop me and e-mail if you have any questions.Band/artist history
Pretty much just me trying to create music for years. I've never really had the money to try a studio out. I've rarely encountered people serious enough to form a group dependant band. I've onlt in the last two years had anything to record on that I thought sounded the slightest bit like something I'd want someone else to hear.Have you performed in front of an audience?I used to a bit. Mostly just me, a guitar, and a microphone.

OMG, this is such beautiful song, don't know how I found your songs, but what a find. I'm a big John Lennon fan, and this song makes me think of him so much, can really hear your influence of him here. Your voice sounds like Lennon on the high parts....and then I almost hear George Harrison in your voice on the verses (lower parts). Sweet guitar playing, whole production is so simple but....very awesome and soulful song. Thanks for sharing your talent here....5 stars all the way! ;)

God music, i hear that you are an awesome writer... do you ghost write?
Hey Heath ! Heard both these new tracks.. 'Make me Blue' and 'I'll Get to Heaven'.. In fact both are good but I specially liked 'I'll get to Heaven'.. :-)
I think a lil' percussions would add more spice to this track.. the melody is good , guitar's doing well.. vocals are good too.. ;-)
Great Job over all...!
Cheers ! :-)
