Heart On Fire (A song for Riona Kelly and Keith Mason) DIGITAL SINGLE

by Will Purdue

/

about

Aged 34, Riona Kelly fell down the stairs, suffered a rare spinal stroke, and was left paralysed. Her husband then left her whilst she was in the hospital, and she became a disabled single mother of four children.

However, not only can she now walk, she found love with ex rugby star, Keith Mason, who began helping with her physical recovery. With an incredible amount of perseverance and support, Riona is now walking. She plans to walk a full mile as part of their 100 mile challenge, with Keith pulling her in her wheelchair for the other ninety nine!

This song is both a celebration of their journey, but also an important tool for raising money for Riona. All of the sale proceeds will go directly to Riona's recovery, and any extra will go into a foundation. Will was chosen for the project for his ability to convey both sides of a story within a song, and the track features both the darkness 'To see the fear in all I hold dear' and the incredible light of their jouney 'Here we stand, I've never been so proud’. The song was recorded at Barge Belle, a stunning riverboat studio in London.

The song is only available to purchase, as all profits are going to Riona for her further rehabilitation, and any on top will go towards helping other people suffering from the impact of a stroke.

lyrics

Standing here, how can I tell you, how close I came?
To see the fear in, all those I hold dear, the tears like rain.
Hand in hand we've turned our lives around,
Here we stand I've never been so proud,
You set my heart, you set my heart on fire.

Lying with your hand in my hand, I know you'll stay,
And in the darkness, I know you'll find a better day.
Hand in hand we've turned our lives around,
Here we stand I've never been so proud,
You set my heart, you set my heart on fire.

You won't take my love away,
You set my heart, you set my heart on fire.
