My friend Steve Urbi asked me to join in on the brilliant Jackson Browne song “In the Shape of a Heart,” and how could I say no? Steve beautifully handled all the guitar and bass tracks, plus did the audio and visual production on this one. I played the synthesizer strings and Rhodes piano tracks and we were privileged to have Marsha McConchie MacMartin lend her golden voice to our efforts.

From the Songfacts website: “In this song about love and loss, Jackson Browne uses powerful images to convey the pain the singer feels as he finds his girlfriend’s heart-shaped pendant by the bedside and knows she is gone. “Speaking with Mojo, he described it as ‘Probably my most personal, and sometimes I think my best, song,’ adding, ‘It’s about whether we know what’s going on at a particular time, whether we recognize people for who they really are, whether we know what people are talking about when we’re in a relationship with them. It’s about missed opportunities.'”
