Instead of homework, I made a sweet lil’ compilation of every single time Keith has said “heart” in an Empire! Empire! song. c:
Our hearts are breaking </3
THIS IS THE BEST/GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. Â <3.Â
After analyzing this, all of these songs are pretty old.  The last one isn’t old to most people (the one off the Rika split), but the song was actually written lyrically in 2009, I want to say.  We just didn’t record it until last year.Â
It’s funny to become self-aware with certain word usage, and I definitely noticed this.  As such, I toned this down a lot over the last few years.  I actually just went back and checked and I haven’t written the word “heart” in an Empire! song since 2009.  Heart free since 2009, baby!
