Heart Land Mines is based on a true story from around the mid to late 90s when Kerzner drove back and forth across the country between LA, NY and Miami trying to decide where to live and what he was going to do given he had all his stuff in storage and moved out of his then fiancee/girlfriend’s Santa Monica apartment. Kerzner grabbed a suitcase and guitar then just started driving with no particular plan. Many songs were written along the way and now, over 25 years later, you’ll finally be able to hear them!

Here is an early first listen. An album teaser “preview” soundcloud.com/sonicelements/heartlandmine-album- teaser-1

lyrics

Dreaming in LA
Lyrics & Music by Dave Kerzner 

A little tale about living in LA 
Fancy cars and envy  
Spinning wheels and breaks  
Tommy got a six string
Sheila got a G-string 
Money, fame and a pipe dream 
Whatever it takes

All for 15 minutes
or flavor of the week 
Tommy became a rocker 
Sheila became a freak 
When they finally met 
There were sparks in the air 
A chance to hit the big time 
and do it as a pair  

Don’t wanna be
Waiting for fortune and fame 
Don’t wanna be
Bound by the rules of the game
Don’t want to be  
A poser with a name
Dreaming in LA

Tommy got a record deal
Went right up his nose 
Sheila was an “actor” 
On reality shows  
They dropped him off the label  
They pushed her out the door 
They were hanging out on Sunset 
Begging for more

Don’t wanna be 
Waiting for fortune and fame 
Don’t wanna be
Bound by the rules of the game
Don’t want to be  
A poser with a name 
Dreaming in LA

Don’t wanna be 
Don’t wanna be a wanna be  

Eleven years later 
They were sitting at a bar 
Came to a realization  
They weren’t getting too far
So they threw in the towel 
They were done with LA 
Packed up their dreams  and faded away

Don’t wanna be 
Waiting for fortune and fame 
Don’t wanna be
Bound by the rules of the game
Don’t want to be  
A poser with a name 
Dreaming in LA
