Blondie "Heart of Glass" The Midnight Special (HD Live 1979)

" An early version of "Heart of Glass" called "Once I Had Love" was written by Deborah Harry and Chris Stein in the period 1974/75. This earlier version was initially recorded as a demo in 1975. The song had a slower, funkier sound with a basic disco beat. For this reason it was known as "The Disco Song." [2] The song was re-recorded in a second demo with the same title in 1978, when the song was made a bit more rock-oriented. The band then decided to record the song for the album Parallel Lines, which was produced by Mike Chapman. Exactly who decided to give the song a more pronounced disco vibe is subject to differing recollections. On some occasions the producer Mike Chapman has stated that he convinced Deborah Harry and Chris Stein to give the song a disco twist. " Lyrics : Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o&mistrust Love&gone behind Once I had a love and it was divine Soon found out I was losing my mind It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Much o&mistrust Love&gone behind In between what I find is pleasing and I&feeling fine Love is so confusing, there&no peace of mind If I fear I&losing you It&just no good, you teasing like you do Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o&mistrust Love&gone behind Lost inside Adorable illusion and I cannot hide I&the one you&using please...
