This is a compellation of songs I have written over the past 20 years. Everyone that buys it says they never get tired of listening to it and that they love it. You judge for yourself. Song Descriptions 1. "Right Now is Getting Better" - Upbeat rock-blues song with a simple and solid arrangement of piano, drums, bass, and electric guitar with real life lyrics. When you hit bottom there's only one way to go! Make a choice 2. "A Message From John" - Rich orchestral arrangements that morph into "Beatle Like" rock. Lyrics that seem to come straight from the spirit of John Lennon. "Peace is what happens when you stop listening to fear and do what love would do" 3. "The Sound of Angels Crying" - A mesmerizing bass line sets the groove, liquid space sounds in the distance, while warm synths comfort and surf guitars bend and rock. Heartson's voice resounds with fidelity backed by a choir of angels in the chorus. 4. "Caught in a Dream"- A gentle ballad with a delicate mix of acoustic guitars, synthesizers, soft voices and heartfelt lyrics. 5. "Silicon Invasion" - Techno dance pop. Hot beats, wild bass lines, computers and robots singing along with John Heartson. Owellian song about computers taking over the world. Coincidently this song was orginally written in 1984. 6. "Beyond the Stars" - A cosmic groove to send you soaring Beyond the Stars. Very Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, Star Trek like. A solid groove, electric guitars and futuristic synth sounds. E-bow on electric guitar with spacelike reverb used on the intro and solo. "When you know who you are, you can see beyond the stars" 7. "Dark Profits" - Kick ass rock with a sarcastic and humorous attitude. Electric guitars, pumping bass and drums with rockin rhythm cello. Including impressions of Richard (I am not a crook) Nixon, Bill (I did not have sex with) Clinton and Donald (It's not about oil) Rumsfeld. As Heartson belts out "if you want to know the truth, learn to hear the lies" ! 8. "Calling All Hippies" - A rock song with burning tube distortion guitar. Whirling Hammond organ that make your speakers spin off the shelf and a beat that make your feet want to march on Washington. MEET US ON THE HILLTOP AND STOP THIS MACHINE! 9. "Where Are You" - Smooth light rock with piano, quiet acoustic guitar and interesting effects set the mood for this heartfelt song of longing. |

Donna Packard, reviewer for Boston Live said: BEYOND THE STARS "when you know who you are, you can see beyond the stars..." "A musical work of art and genius...Listen to this CD once...it will begin to capture your attention...twice and you'll want to listen again and the third time you are hooked! You'll find yourself singing "Right now it's getting better" in the shower and humming lines from "A Message from John" in the car. John Heartson brings to view the corruption and fear we are facing--and calls us to the scene' to "meet us on the hilltop and stop this machine..." while awakening us with heartfelt messages of hope and love .... "At end of your life, there's nothing that you take and when you leave it will be too late to give the love that you could be giving here. Don't waste another day living life in fear.." a soulful blend of rock, easy listening, pop, techno and new age that touches teens and baby boomers alike." |

Music Reviews by Listeners: "Incredible virtuosity and talent create a CD to push repeat button. Pure, smooth voice and gentle multi-track rhythms morph into raw energy and passionate lyrics about hope for our world of contrasts. The title track "Beyond The Stars" really sends me soaring and "Right Now is Getting Better" kicks out the jams. Scott Cheney's guitar wails and I love his solos... A MUST CD for eclectics." Doc ".....infectious rhythms and layered tracks....magical voice. "Beyond the Stars" sends me...."A Message from John" is Beatlesque and we all know who inspired that one. You won't tire of this one"! John McLain- "John's music is timely, inspiring and energizing". Barbara Williams "The variety of sounds is refreshing and well executed.
