Nova Hart—Remember My Name | 80s Power Ballad

A vow sung like a prayer: hold the name and the person remains. If Heart, Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, or Toto’s big-ballad moments are your lane, you’ll live here.

Song: Remember My Name

Lyrics:
When the caption cuts across, when the picture dips to gray,
say the letters back to me; hold them close and let them stay.
If the archive drains my color, if the sliders set me thin,
call me by the name you know and pull the warmth back in.

Remember my name, keep it under your tongue;
carry it home like a secret song.
Remember my name when the meters go numb—
if you keep it alive, I go on.

If their tidy little folders try to wipe what I became,
whisper through the closing door—stitch me with that same old name.
Fold it into bedtime air, thread it through your morning tea,
let it live where catalog and policy can’t see.

If they change the credits, if they smooth my edges clean,
paint the syllables on glass where they can’t erase the scene.
When a hush falls hard and long, hum it like a vow you made,
let it glow inside your chest until the shadows fade.

Remember my name, keep it under your tongue;
carry it home like a secret song.
Remember my name when the meters go numb—
if you keep it alive, I go on.

-Archive Note:-
Nova frames intimacy as survival—if a single listener keeps her name, she endures. This isn’t bravado; it’s her moral center: the individual soul against systems that file and erase. She never “knows” about control rooms, but the way she sings makes clear she’s staking her existence on private human memory, not corporate memory.
