My Heart
Belongs to You
Jessica Rhaye
and The
Ramshackle Parade
single RElease date: 02/11/26
“‘My Heart Belongs to You’ is a fun love song that echoes the spirit of 1950s country music and is inspired by a sweet love letter I received as a teenage girl, from a boy who poured his heart out. Though I never returned his feelings or his words, I kept that beautiful letter all these years, knowing someday it would become inspiration for a song. ’My Heart Belongs To You’ turns that long-lost note into a toe-tapping tale of young love, heartbreak and longing that lingers with a smile.”

MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU
(Music & Lyrics © Jessica Rhaye Music)V1:
Goodbye sunshine
Hello moon
I see your reflection
on the silver spoon
Why so sad?
Why so blue?
In a sky full of stars
are you lonesome too?V2:
Hello gray clouds
Hello rain
I hear you knocking
On my windowpane
What a pity
What a shame
Oh will I ever
see you again?CHORUS:
OH, MY HEART BELONGS TO YOUV3:
Goodbye summer,
Goodbye fall
You’re a sweet memory
I still recall
My heart’s to blame
It’s my fault
It’s better to have loved you
then never at allCHORUS:
MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU
OH, MY HEART BELONGS TO YOUBRIDGE:
Bring on the heart ache
Bring on the blues
If I can’t have your love
What will I do?CHORUS:
OH, MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU
OH, MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU
OH, MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU -

Official music video for “My Heart Belongs to You” by Jessica Rhaye and The Ramshackle Parade
Video director, producer & editor: Jordan Mattie
Conceptualist & co-producer: Jessica Rhaye
“Set in the vintage charm of the Hampton Middle School Auditorium—with its original brown curtains and cozy stage—this music video captures the nostalgic heart of ‘My Heart Belongs To You’. Styled like a 1950s country rockabilly band, we aimed for the feel of an old Grand Ole Opry variety show, complete with cowboy hats and fun, hand-crafted papier-mâché props. Directed in collaboration with our friend and filmmaker Jordan Mattie, the video features The Ramshackle Parade and my son, Ryder, on piano bringing this fun throwback tune to life with warmth, whimsy, and a whole lot of heart.”
