HOPE FROM THE HEART

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCBHAn5Iiog

There are countless songs with lyrics pertaining to love and the heart. Some happy, some sad. And I gave a great deal of thought to which song I would feature here via YouTube for this final entry of my February "heart" month theme. Trying to narrow it down to one was almost an exercise in futility.

I finally decided to put in a song that I feel encompasses our hope that we...our hearts...will be remembered after we have gone. 'Tis beautiful. Just close your eyes (the video image is anime, which I dislike) and absorb the sounds and the emotions they conjure up within you.

Be kind to others' hearts...and your own.

Keep The Flame by Stratovarius

The shadow falls on me today.
Oh, why can't it fade into the distance?

And darkness calls, no other way.
I rage at the riddle of existence.

The day's almost gone, but you'll carry on.
Can you keep the flame for me?
The day's almost gone, but you'll carry on.
Can you keep the flame for me?

A broken plan, a fleeting past.
Oh, how do we always keep on trying?

A tired man is free at last.
Oh, what would the purpose be of lying?

My life's almost gone, but you'll carry on.
Can you keep the flame for me?
My life's almost gone, but please carry on.
Could you keep the flame for me?
Will you keep the flame for me?
