Heart

Below the bridge the water rolls on by
Trouble's gone and time is on my side
Living in my ordinary shoes
Walkin` off my ordinary blues

Once upon a love so bright and true
The weather changed he went to Sunday School
Once upon a dark and stormy day
The promises dried up and blew away

I found myself a brand new neighborhood
Don't worry bout me `cause I'm walking good
I'll take tomorrow I'm giving up the past
Nothing but a hobo walking good at last

Anyway, I'm okay
Day into night and night into day
Gone so far away from my home
Take the high road and damn the low

Anyway, I'm okay
Day into night and night into day
Gone so far away from my home
Take the high road and damn the low

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.
