I am obsessed with the movie Tarzan. A little too obsessed. However, it is a great story line and the songs are sincerely touching. My favorite song in the movie and one of my favorite songs in general is “You’ll Be In My Heart” by Phil Collins. Every time I watch this part of the movie with this song, I cannot stop the tears from cascading down my face. The mother shows Tarzan how much love she has for him. What this song resembles to me is my family. I am truly blessed with an amazing, supporting, and loving family. They have always been there for me in times of need and weakness.
The words “this bond between us can’t be broken” resonate in my ear. It is just a simple sentence but means so much more. My relationship and special bond with my family cannot ever be broken because we are sealed for eternity. Nothing will ever change that. Another favorite part of mine is when he sings “when destiny calls you, you must be strong. I may not be with you, but you’ve got to hold on” . This hits home for me because it was hard to leave for college and say a short goodbye. I have to remember that I have to grow up, but growing up does not mean growing apart from my loved ones. They will always be right beside me when I need help and when the world sometimes does not understand me, they will.
My family is my everything: my strength, my own personal comedy club, a shoulder to cry on, and an endless pool of love. They have shaped me to be who I am, and this song explains it.
"You'll Be In My Heart"
Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight
I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always
Great post, great song. I really like that song too because of the meaning and great lyrics in it. Looks like you have a great family
ReplyDeleteI love this song!! I might have shed a tear or two when I first listened to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat song by Phil Collins. It makes me think of my little brother at home.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought his voice sounds really weird...but good music nonetheless. That movie was awesome. The lyrics not only go really well with the movie, but they definitely work for real life families and friends.
ReplyDeleteThis is a time in our lives when it's important to keep our loved ones close to us even though they're far away. This song epitomizes that.
ReplyDeleteThis whole song is so great. Although, this made me miss my family even more than i already do.
ReplyDeleteThis song is so good. My family is so important to me as well and I know I would not be where I am today without them. This song is a great "freshman year of college" song because even though we're away from our families, they are in our hearts and they are in ours.
