In Their Words: “‘My Heart Says Yes’ features a duet of Frank Rische and myself on guitars and vocals. I guess it would be a love song in the ole-timey vein that talks about the tug of war of the mind – in wanting to stay or go, and caring for someone and realizing you might not be the best for them in the end. And I tried to pay a bit of homage to Hank Williams with the words ‘lost soul on the lost highway.’ It is one of my favorite songs on the album. Frank always does a great job with harmonizing vocally and on the guitar too.” — Martha Spencer
