1) Heart is an American rock band formed in 1970 in Seattle, Washington, by Steve Fossen (bass guitar), Roger Fisher (guitar), David Belzer (keyboards), and Jeff Johnson (drums). It evolved from an existing band, White Heart. The vocalists for Heart are sisters Ann Wilson (lead vocals, flute, guitar) (born June 19, 1950) and Nancy Wilson (vocals, guitar, mandolin) (born March 16, 1954).
Heart rose to fame in the mid-to-late-1970s with music influenced by hard rock and heavy metal, as well as folk music. The band's popularity declined in the early 1980s, but it began a successful comeback in 1985 which continued into the mid-1990s. Heart disbanded in 1998, resumed performing in 2002, went on hiatus in 2016, and resumed performing in the summer of 2019. Heart's U.S. Top 40 singles include "Magic Man" (1975), "Crazy on You" (1976), "Barracuda" (1977), "What About Love" (1985), "Never" (1985), and "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" (1990), along with no. 1 hits "These Dreams" (1986) and "Alone" (1987).
Heart has sold over 35 million records worldwide, including approximately 22.5 million albums in the United States. It has placed top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990 and 2010s. Heart was ranked number 57 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". In 2013, Heart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 2011, Heart earned its first nomination for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the 2012 class. After being passed over, the band was nominated again the following year announced as inductees to the 2013 class on December 11, 2012. Their Hall of Fame page describes the Wilson sisters as the first women to front a hard-rock band, and "pioneers ... inspiring women to pick up an electric guitar or start a band".
In his book Heart: In the Studio, Jake Brown described the band as beginning "a revolution for women in music ... breaking genre barriers and garnering critical acclaim".
"Heart were the first female-fronted band I heard and was influenced by," recalled Lzzy Hale of Halestorm. "I heard Heart and was like, 'Oh, singing like that as a girl is actually a thing!'"
The Wilson sisters have been active in the Seattle music scene for decades and influenced many musicians from the region, including bands of the grunge era. Artists that have used their Bad Animals Studio include Neil Young, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains.

City's Burning
Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She want to get high and he want to get paid
She had to jump up, he had to sit down
When they heard those words about the trouble downtown
He had to shout, she had to cry
He wanted to kill and she wanted to die
City's burning
Cities burning
City's burning
Cities burning
Grab for the dial, tune out the fright
But he turns left and she turns right
She look for love songs, he buys the drive
But all they can pull is bad news in tonight
City's burning
Cities burning
City's burning
Cities burning
Ooh mama, tell me what to do?
Aah daddy you better pull us through
Ooh mama, mama, mama, tell me what to do?
Daddy, you better pull us through
Young man is angry, girl is afraid
He want to get high and she want to get paid
City's burning
Cities burning
City's burning
Cities burning, burning, burning, burning
City's burning
Cities burning
City's burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, ohh
Cities burning, burning, burning
"Heart's" song "City's Burning" depicts a poignant scenario where a young man is furious and a girl is scared. They both are fighting about their individual problems; while the girl is seeking a means to feel high, the man is expecting some good payment. As tension escalates, they begin to talk about the current state of the city- it is on fire, and they know it.
The girl tries to calm him down by crying, but the boy's anger only escalates, and he gets mad enough to kill someone, while she gets to a point that she wants to die. The only way for them to remain oblivious to the problems around them is to grab for the dial and tune out the shocking events happening downtown, but the streaming of bad news still finds its way onto their radio. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "cities burning" to enforce the message, signifying the unbearable situations that are present in such urban spaces.
The song portrays the instability and uncertainty of the world, with the notion that disasters laced with tragedy can happen anytime without our control. It conveys that we all get lost when we are lost in our struggles and individual battles, and it is hard to fight back when the entire city is burning.

I never understood why this song wasn't more popular. I remember waiting in anticipation when MTV had the world premier of this video on its upcoming schedule, back when they did such things.

You can totally hear how this song influenced other Seattle bands, even Soundgarden and Alice In Chains
