MY FOOLISH HEART

At last I have finished my video for my original song, My Foolish Heart. It has been the most challenging technically of all the videos I have produced so far. I chose so many photos and artwork that I ended up with 11 ½ minutes for a 3 minute song!! I didn't want to lose any of the pictures, so I had to go about this in a totally different way … compressing and condensing until finally I managed to achieve what I set out to do! Never give up!!! That's a good motto!

: 0) I hope you enjoy it. I have altered the lyrics slightly from the original “poem” that I posted. Writing a song and writing a poem are two entirely different things and the same components don't always transfer perfectly to the musical composition. I had to change the music a little because I thought it sounded so familiar that I was worried I had heard it somewhere. It wasn't until I finished adjusting the musical score that I realised it was something I had actually written when I was about 16 years old, but hey ho! Not to worry, because I think it was meant to happen that way, like most things …

; 0) Life is full of serendipitous things … happy little accidents!

: 0) I hope you enjoy it. I certainly had fun doing it and learned a lot along the way <3

p.s. At the end you can hear the mournful cry of the peacocks hiding from me! ; 0)

 

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

MY FOOLISH HEART

 

My foolish heart can't take no more

I cry at night; my feelings hit the floor

and in the darkness I think of you

and my heart tears a little bit more for you're not true

 

The shadows grow and darken deep inside of me

it's hard to see the light until my heart breaks free

I know I've got to let you go

I know I've got to let you go

but it is hard to do the right thing, you should know

 

At last I fall asleep and dream

but fitfully in grey and cream

there is no room for black and white

for the little grey areas are more prominent at night

 

When I wake up to greet the dawn

I hear the peacocks cry mournfully on the lawn

the sun shines in and warms my face

The sun shines in and warms my face

there's no room for sadness; gladness takes it's place

 

I have survived another night

I have come through another self-inflicted fight

now it is clear; the veil falls free

my eyes are open wide to meet the change in me.

 

I rise up high above the clouds

I shout your name and then goodbye so loud

you must hear me; let me fly free

you must hear me; let me fly free

for my wings can never be clipped; so let me be

 

For every fading memory and written word

I see before me flying free a fragile bird

it's wing-ed bones like angel's wings alight

the sun's warm rays; transparency in flight

 

For every spoken word of love a flower grows

and tilts it's face to Heaven like it knows

that lightness of our beings feed upon

the lightness of our beings feed upon

the caress and the love we find beyond

 

I stand in tranquil silence to face the day

my hand moves up to wipe my tears away

I'm ready for this moment

I am ready for this moment

I'm moving on to where I'm supposed to be.
