Karliene - Kindle My Heart

This song is so special to me and takes me back to being little with my wee sister, going on adventures and sharing secret worlds. It's like we were living in the same imagination.
I miss her so much, I haven't seen her or my family in 5 years since I moved out here to Australia so the tears in this video were very real. It's hard to be so far away from everyone.
My sister has a beautiful daughter now, Eleanor, who I hope will grow up to love this song too.

'Kindle My Heart"
Written by Patrick Doyle (1995)
From A Little Princess

-- | LYRICS |--

As the moon kindles the night
as the wind kindles the fire
As the rain fills every ocean
And the sun, the earth
Let your heart kindle my heart

Take my heart
Take my heart
Kindle it with your heart
And my heart cannot be
Kindled without you
Let your heart kindle my heart

"I am a princess. All girls are."
Thank you so much for the memories, Karliene. I'm only fourteen, but this song, this movie, were my childhood too. (Well, I'm not grown up yet but... You've understood xD)
I know how it feels to be so far away from the people you love... I watch this movie every single year, when I travel to Canada, to see my family, with my grandfather and my grandmother, and I'll always be their "Little Princess".
Some people don't understand why I always come back to this movie... I know why.
Thanks for the memories.
I'm crying now. And I think I'm not the only one. Because yes, we all know how it feels to miss someone...

"And my heart cannot be kindled without you..." I miss them... All I can wish is that a lot of children will grow with this movie and this song, as we did. Because this is true magic. Magic always comes from the heart.

Every time I listen to this song, it brings me to tears, not only because of how beautiful it is, but because when I was growing up, I was always the outcast of my family, with none of them really getting close to me. Even to this day, I don't talk to them. But I had a friend who acted as a mentor, a teacher, a guide and a father, who I met when I was seven. He taught me so much about life. But in 2003, he had a stroke and passed away, and I always felt guilty for not being with him when he did, and every time I hear this song I think of him, and all of the good times he and I had, and I think of how much I miss him. Thank you, because as painful as it is to remember, it is a fitting tribute, to him and all those we have loved and lost.

This movie had such _strong_ sisterly bonds and feelings attached to it. Honestly, watching this movie for the very first time with my Mom _years_ ago was probably one of the _BEST_ decisions that I have ever made. :3. This movie, along with _The Secret Garden, _ will forever remain as staples and nostalgic _centerpieces_ of my childhood. :'3!!

A Little Princess was my favorite movie as a kid. Watched it with my sisters hundreds of times. This is a great song and you sing it so beautifully.

[TimeandMonotony]

So beautiful! Love this song and movie so much. Childhood favorite. <3

[angelsister]

This song reminds me of my dog and my best friend, both very different beings, yet I love them both unconditionally. One may be in the sky chewing on a bone and the other is on the other side of the world, they will always kindle my heart, no matter what separates us.

This was my #1 favorite childhood movie. This song is so dear to my heart. I've been binge watching your videos after stumbling upon one I greatly enjoyed. This is magnificent. Subscribed.

Love this song so much! It is such a unique and heartfelt song. And this singer puts her whole soul into it. While watching her singing it, I could see how deeply she is feeling the song, as if she is thinking of someone dear to her as she sings it. So moving! I've learned to play it on the guitar and am enjoying it a lot. What a soulful song!

[IrishTactical]

It takes an extraordinary amount of courage to lay your heart bare like that. You honour us, Karliene, with your gift and your voice. Thank you so much for this: for your songs, for your strength, and for the passion to pursue that which you love. I hope that your niece and sister felt that love so present in this song. 

[EternityinInsanity]

Karliene your songs never cease to elict so many emotions from me. This one brought me to tears. It's beautiful and you can hear such wonder in your voice. Your talent is bar none the best I have heard in years. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world. I am honored to be part of your WOLFPACK. I was just thinking of my grandparents this morning gone now seven years. This song, every word played the strings of my heart. Thank you again and again . You are a gem in this world . I hope your week is fantastic

*Cries without any control amazed by this lyrics and your voice and all the childhood memories*

[freshbrewedasmr]

I shared this with my sister in Colorado and I'm in Texas. I love you big sister!

[ChadMichaelSimon]

I clicked hesitantly. Here was my thought progression:
Who is this woman, and who does she think she is covering this song? It's a classic, and I don't want to hear it ruined — oh! Oh my... what a beautiful voice... what a gorgeous arrangement of the song... what perfect harmonies... GAH! Subscribe! Subscribe!

[SironyChannel]

Whew, I had to wipe away a few tears myself there with this one. That was earnestly emotional. You've always had a unique way of packing emotion into your music and singing, and this is a prime example. Breathtaking, Karliene. Just a beautiful gift to your sister and niece, absolutely beautiful.

[AeliaReadsBooks]

This is my childhood-thanks for bringing these memories back.

[saladinthewind]

When I hear you sing i started tear up too. Miss my childhood and my good relationship with my little brother and mom.
