Ron Sexsmith - Secret Heart

Music video by Ron Sexsmith performing Secret Heart. (C) 1995 Interscope Records

[@jacobeile2506]

I'm a descent guitar player/musician, 50+years of living and came across this song by pure accident a few years ago. I listened to it today again and it touched something deep inside me. What I'm trying to say is that it made me cry. The tears were honest and left me stunned and thoughtful. Good to know that I still can feel...

[@carolinechamberlain5707]

Genuine emotions

[@josephinerimmer6888]

Makes me cry every time I hear it. Nothing wrong with that. Xxx

[@garyhoffman503]

Your feelings are correct.

[@bastonor]

So right.

[@kamilmyszor9829]

If you can play it i would love to see tabs, just learning guitar and i am a metalhead from Poland but this song is one of the greatest song i have ever heard,so i must be able to play it

[@jamessmithe5490]

One of the best songwriters in the world who is horribly underexposed.

[@williamedwards7010]

so true i have loved his stuff for years

[@shadowknight9807]

That is FOR SURE!!!

[@KingPhoey]

Yes…shh it’s our secret.

[@RandomNonsense1985]

Totally underexposed. I only knew about song because of Leslie Feist's version.

[@goodgrief888]

I sing this to my rescue bird who was locked in a cage by himself for almost a decade. Now he flies free all day jn my house with his flock of other rescue birds. But his heart still seems broken from of those years of neglect and loneliness. He’s starting to come out of his shell and I noticed he really watches me when I sing this song to him. Badly 🤪 but I love the sentiment and the tune. Thank you for giving the world this lovely and unique song.

[@funinthekitchen844]

Thank you for saving him 🙏❤️

[@evademetris6393]

You r special. ❤

This was done beautifully on X-files. Made me track it down...glad I did. Now one of my favourites.

What the heck? This was on X-Files?? What season???

[@Northeagle66]

This makes a Roy Orbison/K.D. Lang string vibrating inside me. Such a touching voice.

[@kendibble9963]

I love that idea. Roy is gone and as much as I loved her performance of Roy's "Crying", I don't think she's right for this song. I wonder...could Bruce Springsteen, now that he's stopped resisting his desire to sing like Roy, do this one justice?

[@you2begin]

This is one of the most beautiful songs in the world, almost no one has heard of it. It's for the lovers of great art and great music. It's the world's gift to you.

[@rmatrcam]

I can't understand why this wasn't a number 1 hit?

[@bokchoi4u]

To his detriment

[@bensmith1237]

LILYPOPS ,,,,Right ??!

[@mmmpoetry]

I think he made it at a time when music like this wasn’t as appreciated

[@jamesradskijr.9745]

Amen

[@jamesradskijr.9745]

It is Ron Sexsmith fans say so.

[@blabberjob]

A pivotal song to me and my fiancé. I sent her this link to let her know how I really felt about her. We've never looked back.Thank you Ron.

Wonderful

Secret heart What are you made of? What are you so afraid of? Could it be three simple words Or the fear of being overheard? What's wrong? Let her in on your secret, heart Secret heart Why so mysterious? Why so sacred, why so serious? Maybe you're just acting tough Maybe you're just not man enough What's wrong? Let her in on your secret, heart This very secret you're trying to conceal Is the very same one you're dying to reveal Go tell her how you feel Secret heart Come out and share it This loneliness, few can bear it Could it have something to do with Admitting that you just can't go through it alone? Let her in on your secret What's wrong, oh? Let her in on your secret heart Your secret heart Fonte: LyricFind Compositores: Ronald Eldon Sexsmith Letra de Secret Heart © Universal Music Publishing Group

Unsung hero of singer/songwriters. Amazing artist who doesn't get the acclaim he is due.

[@jaquelinejellybean]

Ron is amazing and definitely under rated. This song is beautiful and has a way of touching your heart.

Ron's face is 2 forever.

[@andzwe]

His sort of subtle, refined songs may get lost a bit in the current era, but that's all the more reason for me to cherish them. A songwriter of the highest caliber.

[@scrapmason3721]

Ron's music is so timeless to me that years and years later I still come back to it. One of the few other artists that managed to do that for me is The Cure. Thanks Ron, you genuine soul

[@stevendimmock4791]

What can you say about Ron? Such beautiful, perfect songs. The songs that anybody like me who has tried to write songs, makes us just want to give up as it exposes our inadequacies. I love this guy so much.

[@joebleasdale5557]

Thanks, "The A Word." Cry every time I listen to this.

[@laurenceking6696]

My heartfelt thanks to Elvis Costello for introducing me to the Ron Sexsmith album & this beautiful song. I've never forgotten you Shirley Chan.

[@brucewalters8635]

My favorite Sexsmith song. Heard him and Elvis Costello play it in concert and the song blew me away. I rarely tire of this deep heartfelt tune.

[@tonifrancis7163]

My younger brother called me when this first came out and said I had to listen to it. I would love him. Hooked ever since. My little bro has never disappointed me.

I cannot believe this guy is not a goddamned millionaire. He obviously knows how people care about each other, We should all be ashamed how we treat people we think fall short in our idiot eyes.

[@theonemodifier]

+Susan Faw the 6 or so music conglomerates don't want real musical talent to be successful. They are slowly dumbing down each generation to see music, not hear it. That way they can pick/make their own stars with a computer, or something like that, it's hard to put into words and a long very depressing story.

[@JosephMatthew]

Susan Faw there are many unseen talents out there that we may never discover, unfortunately.

[@christopherfagan1385]

He's a genius, not someone to pity. I'm glad I was introduced to his music at a young age.

[@davidwalter8821]

Yeah, you are right we all need care

[@davidwalter8821]

Hello how are you doing Susan

[@clashpie]

I have only just discovered this guy via the BBC and all i can say is..what a voice!! I am into Joe Strummer/Clash,etc and have always loathed love songs and the like...but this guy knows how to write songs that dig deep into any mans heart. Sheer genius and i hope he gets the recognition he deserves one day,but it's a shame that only genuine and the best artists are only appreciated long after they have gone...!

[@jacquismith3277]

Ron Sexsmith is WONDERFUL. Excellent at songwriting with a soothing voice. What's not to like?

¨Pure¨ Roy Orbison - lonely, heartbreaking, goose bumpy... puts 100's if not 1000's of other supposed talents of today to absolute shame with this one song.
