It was a collaboration with all of Swell Daze at the time (Addison Smith, McCoy Douglasson, Greg Barton and Mitch Wiseman) and my first recorded song. Sessioning with these guys was the formative experience that solidified my love for creating new music and collaboration. At the time, I had written many song lyrics, but did not know how to play any instrument. Swell Daze headlined our harley themed pool party wedding reception and I worked up the nerve to ask them if they would consider helping me with this song. They were thrilled and we never looked back!\u00a0This is the unplugged version that appears on Finding Zen. It&#8217;s based on a text message between me and my then fairly new boyfriend (later husband). &#8220;Be careful with my heart &#8211; you feel like what home should
