Anastasia (also spelled Anastasiya, Annastasia, Anastacia or Annastatia) is a Christian given name bestowed to women and the feminine equivalent of the male name Anastasius. The name is of Greek origin, coming from the Greek word "anastasi" (gr. "ανάσταση"), meaning "resurrection". It is a popular name in Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia, where it was the most used name for decades until 2008, when its place was taken by Sophia. It is still heavily used.
Anastasia was created during the early days of Christianity and was abundantly given to Greek children born in December and around Easter. It was established as the female form of the male name Anastasius, and has the meaning of "resurrection". It is the name of several early saints; Anastasia of Sirmium, a central saint from the 2nd century, is commemorated during the second Mass on Christmas Day each year according to the traditional calendar of the Roman Catholic Church. The name can also be written as Anastasiya, Annastasia, Anastacia or Annastatia. There are a number of short forms; Ana, Anna, Anya, Nastya, Stacia, Stacie, Stacy; as well as various hypocoristics: Nastenka, Nastyusha, Nastyona; Serbian, Slovenian: Nastja.

Plot: As an abused child, Anastasia would close her eyes and picture sitting in the middle of a field. Following a breakdown, she rents an abandoned farm as a haven of peace, hoping isolation will help her tackle her demons. Anastasia's mother, Susan, appears at the farm many times during Anna's stay. Their relationship is a struggle as a mysterious decision from the past hangs over them. Anastasia has conversations with her mother, even when she's not 'physically' there, making her mental state questionable. Matthew, the farmer renting the property to Anna, happens to be young and attractive. There's chemistry between them, but Anastasia doesn't want to give in at first. And Matthew is a polite country boy- or so we think.

Genres: Comedy,She's the one who all the boys want
But she's barely breaking stride
When I look and see her standing there
I'm all butterflies inside
Her name means, 'The resurrection'
It's not too far from true
I'm afraid that if I write this song
She might break my heart in two
She hits the mark
The kindled spark
But I'll just drag her down, down
Far away in distant skies
I see starlight in your eyes
Do you think of miracles?
Are they only dreams for fools?
She's the one who haunts my dreams at night
Underneath the bluest moon
She makes hearts skip beats in triplets
The brightest light in any room
She hits the mark
The kindled spark
But I'll just drag her down, down
Down, down, down
When Anastasia smiles
The world is getting lighter
When Anastasia wakes
The lights come on inside her
And stars will light the path for her tonight
Anastasia
And yes, the moon is burning oh so bright
Anastasia
When Anastasia smiles
The world is getting lighter
When Anastasia wakes
The lights come on inside her
And stars will light the path for her tonight
Anastasia
And yes, the moon is burning oh so bright
