About “The Power of the Heart”
It took me years, streaming into the bleakest turbulences of my own inner voyage, to envision the prospect of making a monument of sincerity such as The Power of the Heart mine. Self-acceptance in an age of make-believes is what allows someone to find themselves, and it’s once emancipated from self-preservative escapism that one can navigate amongst the vestiges of their existence, which in turn leads one to simply be, as an individual and originator. Being liberated from the anguish of being seen for who I am is the reason why I didn’t feel the pressure to mimic Reed’s incarnation of the song nor was I constrained by the burden of having to emulate his intimate intent. If my initial appropriation of the song stood as a homage to Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson’s love and respective creative expression, it would grow beyond its conceptualized embodiment as I began to enfranchise myself through it. It is in that moment that it wasn’t a revision process anymore but the result of a total abandonment designed by my own instinctive drift and surrendering. Noises became sounds, and musical arrangements evolved into some sort of spiritual uplift for me, turning it all into a celebration of what can’t be owned, measured, or defined, a boundless and infinite transformative ascension that can only be experienced once shared and given away. That is for me the true everlasting nature that is the power of the heart.
Liberating in its contemplation.
Compassionate in its acceptance.
Transformative in its incarnation.

lyrics
You and me, we always sweat and strain
You look for sun, I look for rain
We're different people, we're not the same
It’s the power of the sun, the power of the sun
I looked at treetops, you look for caps
Above the water, where the waves snap back
I flew around the world to bring you back
Ah, the power of the heart
You looked at me and I looked at you
The sleeping heart was shining through
The wispy cobwebs that we're breathing through
It’s the power of the heart, the power of the heart
I looked at you and you looked at me
I thought of the past, you thought of what could be
I asked you once again would you marry me
It’s the power of the heart
It’s the power of your heart
Everybody says love makes the world go round
I hear a bubbling, I hear a sound
Of my heart beating and I turn around
And find you standing at the door
You know me, I like to dream a lot
Of this and that and what is not
And finally I figured out what was what
It was the power of the heart
It’s the power of your heart
You know me, you know me
I like to dream a lot
It’s the power of your heart
You look for sun, I look for rain
We're different people, we're not the same
It’s the power of the sun, the power of the sun
I looked at treetops, you look for caps
Above the water, where the waves snap back
I flew around the world to bring you back
Ah, the power of the heart
You looked at me and I looked at you
The sleeping heart was shining through
The wispy cobwebs that we're breathing through
It’s the power of the heart, the power of the heart
I looked at you and you looked at me
I thought of the past, you thought of what could be
I asked you once again would you marry me
It’s the power of the heart
It’s the power of your heart
Everybody says love makes the world go round
I hear a bubbling, I hear a sound
Of my heart beating and I turn around
And find you standing at the door
You know me, I like to dream a lot
Of this and that and what is not
And finally I figured out what was what
It was the power of the heart
It’s the power of your heart
You know me, you know me
I like to dream a lot
It’s the power of your heart
