Love

Hey heyyy. Welcome back. If you have already read my last two blogs by now, you probabally know that I use songs to connect to plays like A Doll's House.

This next song I have no doubt that everyone has heard it. It was played in an a famous 1997 film that won 11 Oscars, 4 Golden Globes, 1 Grammy, 1 Screen Actors Guild Award, and many, many more. So, can you guess the movie and the song? Yup that's right, Titanic, with it's famous My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion.
But just incase there are a few people out there who have never seen the movie or heard the song, I will once again put the link and lyrics below:

My Heart Will Go On Lyrics:
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on


Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on


Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on


Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone


Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on


Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on


You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

When I think of this song, I have the image of Mrs. Linden and her love for Krogstad. Since her mom was not well and she had to take care of her brothers, Mrs. Linden had to leave the one man she loved, Krogstad, and marry a richer man in order to survive and take care of her family. But I think that eventhough she was away from Krogstad, she thought of him constantly and never stopped loving him, just like Celine Dion sings in her song. When Celine says, "Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on, Once more you open the door, And you're here in my heart, And my heart will go on and on", that is saying that no matter where you are, I will still think of you and always love you, just like Mrs. Linden felt about Krogstad when she married another man that she didn't love.
