Heart

Seattle in the rear view mirror
Brooding like the child inside the man
I was following the interstate
Way up north the father fields Canadian

Up above the royal border
The King George highway opens to the sky
The mountains stand there singing out
Filling up my open eyes

And I still can see you sleeping
In a bed of moonlight seeping
And I remember crying
Cause I knew the sun was rising

Rock deep (I remember crying)
Rock deep (cause I knew the sun was rising)

All the gusts of English Bay
Singing on an ancient radio
And a young girl with a burning heart
Stares down at the big ships anchored far below

And she knows where she is going
Cause her very soul is glowing
And in this gentle harbor
She don't need to go no farther

Rock deep
Rock deep
Rock deep
Rock deep

Oh my soul was glowing
And I knew where I was going

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
