about

Max Kaplan basks in the long lineage of music born out of Memphis in his first Color Red single “Mind on My Heart.” Steeped in retro horn lines, nostalgic guitar strumming and chord movement, and pop-soul vocals, it is evident that Kaplan has done his homework taking notes from iconic labels like Stax and Hi Rhythm while carving out a style of his own and veering away from derivation. Lyrically, “Mind on My Heart” is about finding balance between allocating time and energy to support your relationships while being immersed in a big project or entrenched with work. Kaplan is on the trajectory to initiate a new sound in the Memphis music scene and will steadily release new music in collaboration with Color Red.

lyrics

You know I cant read you
The words stretch too far along the page
If patience is virtue
Then theres no reason to make haste

Don't walk away
Don't even slip out
For just a few days
Cause you, you helped me build
All of these walls up
To keep out the rain

And I’m working so hard
To keep some fuel in my car, mind on my heart
You're moving so fast
Please take your foot off the gas, don't let my loving pass
I'm burning my light away
Working from 9 to 5, they trade me money for time
I don’t need no worries
Cause I got you tight by my side,
That's how i know I'm alright

It's not just a read through
I know that you want me just the same
You know I can't leave you
How could I leave myself in pain

Don't walk away
Dont ever drift off
It'll lead me astray
And you, feel like my home
We built all our walls up,
To keep out the rain

And I’m working so hard
To keep some fuel in my car, mind on my heart
You're moving so fast
Please take your foot off the gas, don't let my loving pass
I'm burning my light away
Working from 9 to 5, they trade me money for time
I don’t need no worries
Cause I got you tight by my side
That's how i know I'm alright
