This may sound strange but I had dreams as a kid of doing exactly what I ended up doing in my life.
When I sit down at a piano, I feel what's going on in my life and what led up to it. Certain songs are born from that motivation.
Truth Will Set U Free is about honesty. My philosophic belief that ultimately being true to yourself is liberating, with every individual’s inalienable right to be who they are without fear or recrimination,
I can analyse the trajectory of my popularity and find out why the peak was a peak and the valley was a valley - grapple with it that way - but I prefer not to analyse it that much.
And I wear my sunglasses at night So I can so I can Keep track of the visions in my eyes
I became somewhat reclusive during a period of time in the '80s.
It's weird. Prior to having my first record, Corey Hart was just my name.
Wearing sunglasses at night hurts your eyes after a while.
My idea of a romantic night is to watch action films.
No one can take away your right to fight and never surrender.
Above these universal themes Truth Will Set U Free is also a song composed for those who were born gay. I am a straight man so I do not profess to understand or know what a LGBT person experiences but I do recognize injustice when I see it.
Music was my oxygen. It's what saved me from being a really lonely and scared teenager.
Money, celebrity and power can be very intoxicating.
'Truth Will Set U Free' is about honesty. My philosophic belief that ultimately being true to yourself is liberating, with every individual's inalienable right to be who they are without fear or recrimination.
