Make Up My Heart is the power ballad from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express. It is performed by Pearl. During the song, she is deciding between the two she has fallen in love with. Electra is strong and has style, whilst Rusty is good and makes me smile.
The song commences during act 1, and was added into the show first for broadway, before being added into the re-written London production. As far as the structure goes it replaced Pearl's other number 'He Whistled At Me', which was moved to another point in the show. It also replaced her previous power ballad 'Only He', which occurred before the duet; Only You.
The German equivalent is 'Hilf Mir Verstehn', which means 'Help Me Understand'. The Spanish equivalent is 'No Resiste Mi Corazón', meaning 'My Heart Does Not Resist'.

Famous quotes containing the word heart:
“The classroom, with all its limitations, remains a location of possibility. In that field of possibility we have the opportunity to labor for freedom, to demand of ourselves and our comrades, an openness of mind and heart that allows us to face reality even as we collectively imagine ways to move beyond boundaries, to transgress. This is education as the practice of freedom.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
