Released: July 7, 2016

Songwriter: Sue Ennis Nancy Wilson (Heart) Ann Wilson

Producer: Nancy Wilson (Heart) Dan Rothchild

There is a song the river sings
There is a river sings your name
The air is living, haunting
The slanting sun in heaven's view

Lay down your restless motion now
Turn down the faithless voice inside
Protect my heart, my heartbeat
I'll take care, I'll take care of you
I will take care of you

Lay down upon the silver grass
Down on the blanket laid for us
Melt in here together
We'll watch the moon, the moon go past

And hang on, hang on strong to me
Let me show you, let me show you
How sweet the strong can be, yeah

Hold on, heaven
Hold on, heaven

Hang on, hang on strong to me
Let me show you, let me show you
How sweet the strong can be, yeah

Hold on, heaven
Hold on, heaven

Hang on, hang on strong to me
Let me show you, let me show you
How sweet the strong can be, yeah

Hold on, heaven
Hold on, heaven

Heart

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.
