Dr BLT's CDiary

1.31.08

I was in third grade at Woodlawn Elementary School in Steinbach, Manitoba. That's in mid-western Canada and its the town where I was born.

I believe I was nine. Her name was Lori Quaker. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. I was too shy to tell her how she made me feel, so I wrote a note. It was short and to the point. It simply said, "Lori is sweet." I couldn't drum up the courage to give the note to her myself, so I asked Abe, this kid I thought was my friend, to pass it on to her.

He passed it on alright, to nearly everybody in the school. She was the last to receive it, but it eventually got to her. She was flattered. We were an item for a few weeks. Then one day I saw her with another boy. I walked up to the two of them, and she didn't try to hide it. She simply said, "Bruce, I'd like you to meet my other boyfriend."

That was the moment my heart broke. And it was the moment I knew that I was a one-woman man and needed a one-man woman. How did my heart heal? I'm sure I tried various methods of easing the pain, but the only one that seemed to work was the passage of time.

How about you? Tell us about your first broken heart. How did it feel? How did it heal? Or has it?

You know the rules of my blog n roll game. I provide the music, an opening statement and you provide the comments, links etc.

Ready....set.......blog n roll!



PS: I recorded this version of the song on January 31, 2008. It will appear on a forthcoming CD entitled Shattered Valentines.

I wrote it just before Valentines Day, 1993, in an effort to heal a broken heart. I performed it at a place called Java Jazz in Bakersfield. It was a wonderful place but no longer exists. Members of the crowd insisted that I perform it again right after I performed it the first time, so I did.

Shattered Valentine (original version)

Dr BLT

words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008



knees in North Dakota

ankles in LA

I'm a shattered valentine

mouth in Mississippi

nose is in Bombay

I'm a shattered valentine



since you broke my heart

and you messed with my mind

since you broke my heart

I'm a shattered valentine



arms in West Virginia

trunk in Tennessee

I'm a shattered valentine

knuckles in north of Jasper

elbows in D.C.

I'm a shattered valentine





since you broke my heart

and you messed with my mind

since you broke my heart

I'm a shattered valentine



what will I do if I ain't got you

where will I go, oh lord

I just don't know

where will I find myself?

in pieces, lost in time

you'll find that I've been shattered

like a shattered valentine





eyelids in New Brunswick

Lips in Hudson's Bay

I'm a shattered valentine

can't get myself together

since my baby went away

I'm a shattered valentine





since you broke my heart

and you messed with my mind

since you broke my heart

I'm a shattered valentine
