Eschewing the "naïve" lyrics from earlier work, Giltrap honed his aggressive strumming style and - by 1977 - mostly made songs without words. "Heartsong" lost the Ivor Novello for Best Instrumental Choon to Elton's "Song for Guy".

In addition to this theme from "Holiday", Giltrap accepted a commission from ITV's equivalent "Wish You Were Here".
