Yet another cache named after an 80's tune that remains a favorite of mine...not just the lyrics, but the saxophone and other instrumental elements too! If you think you don't know the song, take a minute and check it out on YouTube. The video isn't 'superior' relative to later music videos but the music is worth a listen to! Why this cache in Cougarville? Well, rumour has it that there are going to be some new 'ladies' moving to the area soon and as such, things could get pretty interesting in terms of romance and heartbreak and the games people play.....so perhaps some may have to 'harden their hearts' to deal with such emotional turmoil?
"Harden My Heart" is a million-selling Gold-certified single and most popular hit by the rock group Quarterflash. It was featured on the band's Platinum-selling Quarterflash album in 1981. Quarterflash took its name from an Australian slogan - "a quarter flash and three parts foolish"...the dramatic vocals and instrumentation in this song are made even more interesting by something you don't see very often-a female lead singer who also plays the saxophone-Rindy Ross did just that on this song and on their follow-up single "Find Another Fool".

"Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never, ever wait again
You gave me your word, but words for you are lies
Darlin', in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
All of my life, I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waitin' for a feeling that never, ever came
It feels so close but always disappears
Darlin' in your wildest dreams, you never had a clue
But it's time you got the news...." (Source:azlyrics.com)
