Today I must say goodbye to my 26 year old nephew and godson who was senselessly slain earlier this week. This video has sustained me since I got the news. Thank you Alfie for giving me the strength to get through today.
It helped me get through the death of my beloved dad last year. Thank you for this beautiful version of that song. It still made me cry a bit but be hopeful and positive too.
I’ve been combing UA-cam for covers of this song. This along with the one done by a group called “The Wailin’ Jenny’s” are the stand outs. Outstanding and very moving.
We had this played at my mother's funeral 3 weeks ago 😢. Yesterday I had the pleasure of hearing it, live at Alfie's Homecoming tour.... Unfortunately my phone ran out of memory while recording it.
The last song that Warren Zevon wrote. He knew that he was dying from mesothelioma. It was the final track of his last album. Part of the song had to recorded at his home because Warren was too poorly to go to the studio. Definitely my funeral song.
Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath Keep me in your heart for awhile If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less Keep me in your heart for awhile When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun Keep me in your heart for awhile There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done Keep me in your heart for awhile Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house Maybe you'll think of me and smile You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse Keep me in your heart for awhile Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams Touch me as I fall into view When the winter comes keep the fires lit And I will be right next to you Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream Keep me in your heart for awhile These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam Keep me in your heart for awhile Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile Keep me in your heart for awhile
It's lovely, but the range just doesn't do justice to your beautiful voice. Please don't stop doing classical as well because while anyone could sing THIS song, you have an instrument for the ages.
I dunno...Warren sings it because he's dying. Every cover I've seen although good doesn't capture his pain and sincere emotions. I'm sorry .good try but its not the same.

God bless you Warren RIP ❤️
What a magnificent rendition of this heart wrenching song. Thank you.
He has that incredibly powerful voice, but it's as soft as swans' down here. So gentle. How does he do that?
I agree w/you 100%. So powerful, from Les Miz to opera, and now, there's this country/folk....soft hearted sound. Truly, so talented
Best song sung great written by the great Warren Zevon
I have requested this at my funeral. Beautiful song and singer
This song always brings tears, and the rendition is so powerful. Thank you for this.
Waren ZEVON would approve your version so well done guys.
Love your beautiful, gentle, elegant presentation. It is exquisite!
Had never heard this song before till I heard it on NCIS and googled it. Love this and yes it made me cry. Makes you think of all the people I miss.

gareth ashley
lol. Same for me when in Nottingham. I tried my best to sing along but I wasnt very good 😦
Oh my God. You keep surprising me, every single day. ...This is so beautiful Alfie - you are absolutely amazing 😋😁

Warden's original is outstanding, Eddie Vedder has a powerful version too.
We had this song at my brothers funeral in April this year he died suddenly 💔 its hard to listen too because my heart is broken but l love it
Beautiful words
Can't get enough of this song!. Thanks, Alfie.
Absolutely wonderful Alfie 😘😘😘

Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile
There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sometimes when you're doing simple things
around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on
your blouse
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for awhile
These wheels keep turning but they're running out
of steam
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Brilliant!

Звучит как ирландская песня, из фильма Бруклин. 😊
:-)

Always!! :-)
Love you.
Great voice, but would love him to sing another song with the same title Jinder - Keep Me In Your Heart
Who's here because of Leeland?
I am and now I love this guy too.
Yes.
Ah yes...we all miss Warren!
Very nice vocals. May have more impact without the strings though. Would love to hear a pared down version.
My nanaa funeral song. Sums it up perfectly.
It's lovely, but the range just doesn't do justice to your beautiful voice. Please don't stop doing classical as well because while anyone could sing THIS song, you have an instrument for the ages.
Okay, turn me over. I'm done.
I dunno...Warren sings it because he's dying. Every cover I've seen although good doesn't capture his pain and sincere emotions. I'm sorry .good try but its not the same.
