Take My Broken Heart

A co-written song with a group from the Gold Coast Songwriter Trysts songwriting event. A song about the crash of a broken heart and the needs of relationship and connection during the moment of hopelessness.

TAKE MY BROKEN HEART

Sometimes you don't need someone to fix your broken heart. You just need someone to hold it.

Heartbreak is part of being human, but we're often expected to pick ourselves up, move on and pretend we're okay.

With ‘Take My Broken Heart’, Rae Leigh explores the vulnerability of letting someone see you at your lowest. It's a song about the loneliness of trying to escape emotional pain, the comfort of having someone beside you, and the courage to admit that sometimes you just need to be held while you cry.

A reminder that it's okay to be heartbroken, it's okay to need someone, and you don't always have to be strong.

Because healing doesn't happen overnight, and sometimes love begins with simply being there.

Take My Broken Heart. A song for anyone who has ever needed somewhere safe to fall apart.

The Recording

Rae Leigh first connected with Nashville producer Michael Flanders through an interview for the Songwriter Trysts podcast. After discovering a shared love of honest storytelling and acoustic country music, they went on to work together on Rae’s charting single Love Me.

Their creative partnership continued with Living For Today and a larger body of work recorded in Nashville. The stripped-back recording uses acoustic instrumentation to preserve the intimacy, vulnerability and hope at the heart of the song.
