My Foolish Heart
Erasure · Other Songs - Erasure
The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to find on a moment such as this
And they all have the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss
Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love
This time it's love
My foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to find on a moment such as this
And they all have the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss
Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love
This time it's love
My foolish heart
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to find on a moment such as this
And they all have the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss
Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love
This time it's love
My foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to find on a moment such as this
And they all have the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss
Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love
This time it's love
My foolish heart
My Foolish Heart
Erasure's 'My Foolish Heart' stands as a defining track from their 1987 debut album, The Circus. The song exemplifies the duo's signature blend of synth-pop and new wave, characterized by Andrew Ellingham's distinctive vocal delivery and Vince Clarke's intricate electronic production. Released during the height of the synth-pop era, the recording captures the melancholic yet infectious energy that propelled Erasure to international prominence. As a staple of their early discography, the track remains a quintessential representation of the genre's evolution in the late 1980s, showcasing the band's ability to craft emotionally resonant melodies that have endured through decades of musical history.
