The lyrics of this song ring true and assure anyone that much can be fixed with love. This song is the type that someone can cling on to and feel moved by, or even better, changed by. “When you feel your world will never ever be the same, There’s no way you could get over the break, Stealing for a healing left you feeling that you can’t trust, Oh, a little bit of love, a little love will fix you up.”
David and Patsy’s warm vocals are perfectly layered within the song and express the immense passion and emotion that are woven into the lyrics. The album was produced by Emmy Award-winning Music Producer Kenny Royster, who is notable for producing Luke Combs’ number-one hit, “Hurricane,” and working with Michael Ray and Trace Adkins.
Continuing the success of the Midnight Choir album, “‘A Little Love Will Fix You Up’ was written to inspire anyone to get over a heartbreak and find new love as a little love will fix you up,” adds Kenny.
It is widely known that any great songwriter must be able to effectively communicate emotion through their lyrics, and “The Long and Short of It” have surely mastered that skill, as proven through this new single.

A true testament to the power of their songwriting, and the precision of it as well.

About The Long and Short Of It
Self-described as their “best work to date,” Midnight Choir is the new album from the award-winning Melbourne country duo, The Long and Short Of It, which blends traditional and contemporary country. The album debuted at #1 on the ARIA Country Music Albums Chart.
Leading its charge is the single ‘Cowboy Lonesome,’ that paints the picture of a lonely cowboy missing his partner in the wilderness and how that rural and outback isolation presents a whole new level of loneliness.
The single is the debut collaboration between the pair and Nashville-based producer, Kenny Royster, whom the pair met during a trip to Nashville in 2013 and is credited for his work with US country superstar Luke Combs. The single “Midnight Choir” has also been released with abundant success. Check out The Long and Short of It duo on YouTube!
