Heart
A little something about Heart
Long before Seattle became known for grunge, sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson were putting together their first rock band. Sporting heels and leather rather than Timberlands and flanel, the Wilson sisters sang rock ballads in the mid-70s, backed by a band playing the hard rock riffs that had worked for their guitar-rock predescessors. Heart found fans in the US, Canada, and Britain, though their traditional rock sound in an era of punk and new wave was hardly the order of the day.
Heart gained a new lease on life with the advent of the music video in the early 1980s. Ann and Nancy Wilson updated their wardrobes to include more lace and accent their looks, recorded a pop/rock album with their new label Capitol, put together a couple of videos, and the Heart that most of us remember to this day was born. In 1985 their self-titled LP release brought with it two huge international hits in "These Dreams" and "What About Love." Their Bad Animals album two years later was an even bigger success, and brought them a number one hit in "Alone."
While they've not come anywhere near to repeating their earlier successes, Heart will long be remembered - for good or for bad - for their videos and hits in the mid 80's. Heart has continued to record and play live shows, the Wilson sisters having returned to their roots in Seattle.

These Dreams
Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
CHORUS:
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
Is it cloak 'n' dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips
CHORUS
There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist
What About Love
I've been lonely
I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending
Ain't making it through to your heart
You've been hiding - never letting it show
Always trying to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well
On your way to the top
But there's something that you forgot
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
You might need it some day
I can't tell you what you're feeling inside
And I can't sell you what you don't want to buy
Something's missing and you got to
Look back on your life
You know something here just ain't right
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
All I wanna do is make love to you
It was a rainy night
When he came into sight
Standing by the road
With no umbrella
No coat
So I pulled up along side
And I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile
So we drove for a while
I didn't ask him his name
This lonely boy
In the rain
Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight
Please don't make it wrong
Just stay for the night
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will
You want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I got lovin' arms, to hold on to
So we found this hotel
It was a place, I knew well
We made magic that night
Oh he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me
So many times
Easily
And in the morning when he woke
All I left him was a note
I told him I am the flower
You are the seed
We walked in the garden
We planed a tree
Don't try to find me
Please don't you dare
Just live in my memory
You'll always be there
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love
Was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
I got lovin' arms, to hold on to - oh
Oooh we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love
Then it happened one day
We came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise
When he saw his own eyes
I said please please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me, oh
Was the one little thing that you can
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love
Was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
C'mon say you will
You want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love
Was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will baby
Want me too all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All I wanna do, all I wanna do, all I wanna do, all I wanna do
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love
Was all we knew - yeah
Alone
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight,
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow,
Oh, I hope that it won't end, though,
Alone
Till now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited,
And I was gonna tell you tonight.
But the secret is still my own,
And my love for you is still unknown,
Alone
Till now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
(repeat x2)
Alone... alone.
