Okay, I'm confused...."Disorder In The House" was just listed as going for adds at AAA a couple weeks ago, but Hitmakers has a banner promoting "Keep Me In Your Heart" instead.
KMIYH is a more intimate song than the Springsteen duet. This track could do well at AC as well as AAA and Hot AC. It could be the sleeper hit off "The Wind".
I'm going out on a limb, but I think "The Wind" is an early Grammy candidate.

Do you know what the theme behind KMIYH is about? The reason I'm asking is that I haven't heard the song and Warren's recent death probably could've had something to do with its release. The title alone makes it seem like its some sort of a remembrance song.

As for a theme to "Keep Me In Your Heart", here are the lyrics. They pretty much explain themselves. If you would like to hear the track, there is a link at www.hitmakers.comShadows are fallin'
and I'm runnin' 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 a while
When you get up in the mornin'
and you see that crazy sun
keep me in your heart for awhile
There's a train leavin' nightly
called when all is said and done
keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sometimes when you're doin'
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
and when the winter comes
keep the fires lit
and I'll be right next to you
Engine driver's headed north
to Pleasant Street
keep me in your heart for awhile
these wheels keep turnin
but they're runnin out of steam
keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Keep me in your heart for awhile |

I absolutely think this is a wise choice to make "Keep Me In Your Heart" the next single. I have no doubt it may become one of the biggest hits of his career, perhaps second only to "Werewolves of London" Here are my thoughts for threef ormats
Triple A Radio: Absolutely a hit in the making. With "The Wind" generating his best sales in about two decades and the critical praise and memorial all surrounding this album, "Keep Me In Your Heart" is an epitaph that will touch manys hearts. I believe there's reason to believe this can go Top 5 on Triple A radio. I'll say a #3 peak.
AC Radio: This is AC friendly, and I think somehow it'll cross-over, but likely not until 2004. It's AC performance will most likely depend on if "The Wind" gets Grammy attention or not, and if he does get nominated, "Keep Me In Your Heart" may perform like Norah Jones' "Don't Know Why", which rocketed on every format after dominating the 2003 Grammy Awards.
Peak Prediction With Grammy Win: #8
Peak Prediction Without Grammy Win: #17
Hot AC: This is where "Keep Me In Your Heart" probably won't peak quite so high but have some longevity beneath the Top 20. It could well do something like Sting's "Send Your Love" for example and stay sturdy between positions 30-40 and get some respectable play.
Finally, let me add I do have faith that "The Wind" has potential to win a Grammy, however, there will be one noticable obstacle that may stop him from winning: another late songwriting legend...Johnny Cash.
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton
