Warren William Zevon (January 24, 1947 - September 7, 2003) was an American rock singer-songwriter and musician noted for including his strange, sardonic opinions of life in his musical lyrics, composing songs that were sometimes humorous and often had political or historical themes.

'Nothing's Bad Luck: The Lives of Warren Zevon.' (Jay Gabler/MPR) In 1983, Warren Zevon proposed to his girlfriend Anita Gevinson (cousin of the as-yet-unborn blog star Tavi), while they were hooking up after a tour stop in Denver. She said yes, only to answer the door to a passel of groupies.

First off, this song shows a certain part of violence that is very common today. As stated in earlier blog posts, we have almost become immune to violent material. Zevon (in my mind) writes this song with this cheery poppy overtone to show that sometimes we take.

Warren Zevon The Wind
will go down in rock history as a great musician, but few people are familiar with his work. His biggest mainstream hit was, 'Werewolves of London'. He was best known for his covers of famous songs, and for writing songs with themes of history and politics. He frequented the role of guest band leader on the Late Show with David Letterman. Throughout his life Zevon described a phobia of doctors, and admitted he had rarely seen a physician. In 2002 after feeling continuously ill he was persuaded to see a doctor who diagnosed him with inoperable cancer. In typical Warren Zevon style, he refused treatment and instead began work on his final album, 'The Wind'Zevon lived to see the birth of his twin grandsons and accomplished his goal of staying alive long enough to see the next 'James Bond' movie come out, 'Die Another Day'. He also lived long enough to see his final album, 'The Wind', be released and succeed. Following his death in September 2003, 'The Wind' received five Grammy nominations, (One nomination for 'Song of the Year' for, 'Keep Me In Your Heart') and won two Grammy Awards. His posthumous Grammy awards were the first in Zevon's 30-year music career.
Although his final album, 'The Wind', was an incredible piece of work in itself, the one song that could truly be identified as Zevon's 'Swan song', is 'Keep Me in Your Heart.' The lyrics to the song are beautifully sad but the tempo remains upbeat and mellow. In the song Zevon sends the message that just because, 'I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less'. Although soon he will be gone, he asks, 'Keep me in your heart for awhile.' He says,'To think of him and smile' , 'when you're doing simple things around the house.'
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
