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.

Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Princess dressed in wool, dreaming eyes, whispering her rhymes
"Rain play my song today, no one wants to know me anyway"
Perfect lover where are you?
I can`t wait much more for you to come true
Shining prince inside my head,
Live inside a palace underneath my bed
Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes
They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine
Typewriter steel and gray, work away, everybody`s going home
Over across town, caught in a crowd, still living alone
Little room for her out of the rain
A little something for the pain
Lady-in-waiting potentially for the lord of the rock `n roll aristocracy
Dreaming in photographs at night, love`s like sand held in your hand so tight
And everybody know who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars
Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes
They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine
Everyday`s like the day before
Come in tired and lock the door
Paint your space with magic hands
Shining slick and dandy
Shining slick and dandy
Smile at your fans
"C`mon pretty boy sing for us take me"
Take me over the edge
I know you`re good enough
And everybody knows who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars
Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes
They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine
The song “Magazine” by Heart is a reflection of a young woman’s life, who feels lost in the world around her. The first verse sets the tone for the song as the singer sits in a small room, looking down on the world, observing everyone passing by. She is dressed like a princess, engrossed in her dreams, whispering her rhymes while she watches the rain pour outside, hoping someone will play her song, someone who understands her. She is waiting for her prince charming, the perfect lover who lives inside her head, in a palace under her bed. She yearns for someone who can understand her and provide solace from the mundane routine of everyday life. The singer lives in a world of fantasy, with stars that shine down on her hoping one day she can reach for them.
The second verse expands on the theme of the singer being lost in a world that she cannot relate to. The typing of steel and grey takes place, and everyone is going home but she is left alone. She is a Lady-in-waiting, having the potential to be with the aristocracy of rock and roll, dreaming about photographs, and holding love like sand in her hand. The song is about life and relationships that exist only in a fantasy realm. Everyone knows who they are, but she is not there yet. She desires to be like the overlords of insane scenes, shining down upon her world from the pages of a magazine. At the end of the song, the singer finally reaches out to the pretty boy, who sings for her, and takes her over the edge.
Interesting facts about the song “Magazine” include that it was written by Heart's lead guitarist, Roger Fisher. In an interview with Songfacts, he said the song was about the music industry and how popular musicians were like overlords in a fantasy world, where they are worshiped and admired. The song reached #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978, becoming Heart's third Top 20 hit. The song was written for Elton John, but he never recorded it. The album version of the song features a different, more extensive introduction than the single version. The single version also omits the instrumental interlude. The song was played during the end credits of the 2019 film “The Irishman”. The song has been covered by several artists, including Pearl Jam, whose cover version can be found on the reissue of their album “Ten”.
Chords: Am, F, C, G, G7, Dm, Gsus4, G. (The song is played in the key of G and has a moderate tempo).
