Sally's Jukebox Hits #46 by Sally Law |
Welcome to my pages and for the countdown of my all-time favorite songs from 50 to 1! At the #46 position is 'Rhythm of my Heart' by British rocker, Rod Stewart. The lyrics reflect my personal beliefs: there's no place like home. Yeah, I love my home, not because of the house, necessarily, but for the people in it, and the love that is expressed here daily. This song tells a soldier's story, and his hope to return to his home and family. He's rehearsed his lines, behind enemy lines: with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue. Rod Stewart has poured his heart and soul into this beautiful song and heart-thumping video. The flamboyant performer looks much younger here in this video. I feel "Forever Young" just watching it, and I'm filled once again with the appreciation of the soil and the people I call home. {Rhythm of My Heart} Across the street, the river runs Down in the gutter, life is slippin' away Let me still exist in another place Runnin' undercover of a helicopter blade The flames are gettin' higher in effigy Burnin' down the bridges of my memory Love may still be alive somewhere, some way Where they're downing only deer A hundred steel towns away Oh, the rhythm of my heart Is beatin' like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Oh, never will I roam Now I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailin' Photographs, kerosene Light my darkness, light it up, light it up I can still feel the touch Of your thin blue jeans Runnin' down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby, oh baby Oh, the rhythm of my heart Is beatin' like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Oh, never will I roam Now I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailin' Oh, I've got lightning in my veins Shiftin' like the handle of a slot machine Love may still exist in another place I'm just yankin' back the handle, no expression on my face Oh, the rhythm of my heart Is beatin' like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Oh, never will I roam Now I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailin' The rhythm of my heart Is beatin' like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Never will I roam Now I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailin' Wherever you find yourself today, my friend, travel home, either physically, or in your heart. Until next time....
