I dream a bit about MK-style country music.

Me too!  :)
This is all the heaven we've got right here where we are in our shangri-la.

I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day

Heavy Up should have been thrown away!

Absolutely!

Most likely this song is a "gift" to the person by whom it was originally inspired, just like Monteleone. Mark keeps a secret about who it is, which is kinda surprising.

Not really, there are a few songs where he is having a go at someone but we don't know who, Let's See You, Everybody Pays.

I heard the opinion that Everybody Pays is about David.

Yeah, but I meant that MK himself said he wouldn't tell you who inspired this song, not like we just generally don't know.

Yeah I've suggested that before but MK has never said.

Lets See You possibly Ed but it doesn't all fit.

I remember MK said that the idea for Heavy Up came from a conversation with Bob Dylan, he said to MK about an argument with Bob's manager and Bob used that expression with the manager.

"his response to being told to “lighten up” was “I’ll lighten up for you if you’ll heavy up for me.”

That's what MK said during the DTRW promo interviews, which can be found in the thread dedicated to that record in this forum.

It's impressive when someone goes to a shoes shop and came back hope with a song.

Or when he goes to a kitchen store.

Unless the song is Heavy Up.

Now My Bacon Roll, that was a good trip to the cafe.

MK was actually inspired to write this while watching the movie Sleepless in Seattle, he's a big rom-com guy.
