However, I am a big Warren Zevon fan, so when I was house sitting for my sister a few weekends ago and saw this CD on her kitchen table, I borrowed it. how often are covers ever better than the originals? I'm not saying tribute albums shouldn't exist, however, since many are very good and give the singer's friends and fans a chance to honor his or her memory one last time, but still. Note: the text of this song's lyrics is not under the same copyright license as the wiki's encyclopedic text, it is used under fair use/ dealing.Warren Zevon is one of the greatest singer/songwriters our country has ever produced, but I never picked up this tribute album because, frankly, the greatest tribute you can pay to a singer is to listen and relisten to his old stuff, not listen to covers by a bunch of singers who probably won't do the originals much justice. The song is also available in sheet form in The Warren Zevon Guitar Songbook. It was also used in an NCIS episode, Honor Thy Father and an episode of Constantine, A Whole World Out There. It also appeared twice on the tribute album Enjoy Every Sandwich: Songs of Warren Zevon, first as a performance by Jorge Calderón and Jennifer Warnes and second as a strings only version arranged by Van Dyke Parks. Both were included in the soundtrack release. It was also featured in the 2009 film Funny People alongside another Warren Zevon song Numb as a Statue. The song would also appear on the 2006 compilation album Reconsider Me: The Love Songs. The song would serve as the title for the 2003 documentary Warren Zevon: Keep Me In Your Heart. It may be the last song on the album, but it was the first song I wrote." On reflection it might be a little bit of a ‘woe is me’ song, but it made me realize what I was going to do with the rest of the time. Instantly I realized I’d found what to do with myself. I picked up the guitar and found myself writing this kind of farewell. He told VH1 that "I don’t think anybody knows quite what to do when they get the diagnosis. Zevon intended the song to be his final farewell. "Keep Me in Your Heart" is the final track of Warren Zevon's final album The Wind, released in 2003.
