♥♥♥ Pete, you live in our hearts, always... ♥♥♥

Obi is a lying, thieving, r4ping, murderous bastard, but I love him to pieces XD

Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
"Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it b'fore it's done"
"The brightest flame burns quickest"
Is what I heard her say
A son's heart's owed to mother
But I must find my way

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

Rebel my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
Of what I heard is wrong
I never asked forgiveness
For what is said is done

Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
Mother's love for her son
Unspoken, help me be
Yeah I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But cold stone's all I see

Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

  • The first time I saw Pete Postlethwaite act was when he played Obadiah Hakeswill in the TV series Sharpe. His performance was inspirational. This video rocks and is a fitting tribute to a colossal actor. R.I.P. Pete. You are a legend and will be greatly missed. x

  • I'm still stunned and devastated about Pete's death. Yesterday, all I could hear in my mind was Obadiah saying, "You can't kill me".

    And as long as we keep watching the TV and movies he's been in and remember him with love, he will live on.

    RIP Pete

see all

  • I absoloutly love this video, i've just started reading the Sharpe books (now on Sharpe's Triumph) and plan to get the re-mastered collection for my birthday.

    This video suits Hakeswill to the ground, The choice of song and editing mesh so well together.

    Great stuff :D

  • The ending is all the more poignant today. RIP Pete, a true acting great

  • One of the most memorable villains of all time! RIP Pete, loved the Obadiah character.

  • @Steshette the sharpe boxset is available through play.com

  • R.I.P. Obadiah

  • Pete at his most awesome best, RIP :(

  • RIP Peter.
