"Here is a brand new recording of 'Eternal Flame' which I co-wrote in 1988 with my friendsBilly SteinbergandTom Kelly," Hoffs wrote in a social mediapost. "I was inspired to sing it again! As I stood before the microphone, I fought back tears ofgratitudefor the opportunity to sing a song I have loved and cherished my entire adultlife. We've grown up together!"
The singer continued, sharing how people continue to tell her how much the song means to them.
"I've been touched time and again by stories from friends and strangers alike who've expressed how much 'Eternal Flame' has meant to them, whether the song played as they walked down the aisle at their wedding, or brought consolation. I still wake up eachmorning, motivated to sing, to write, to make art, and to find ways to connect," she noted. "I'm still that same girl with that same emotion—older, and hopefully wiser."
