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.

Mistral Wind
Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My ship was still and waiting
I lay on that mirrored sky
A restless sailor waiting
I closed my eyes said the
Words of will for the gentle
Breathing that moves the seas
Make my sails fill
Whisper waves cloud the glass
Awake at last like a lover
It rushed around me talking sweet
Roll over, roll over, roll over
And in my ear he blew his name
It sound so strange but I heard it plain
Mistral, mistral wind
I have always held the wheel but
I let the wind steal my power
Spin me 'round lose my course
Nights run by like hours
Well, it would show me the way
To the deepest mountains
Too high and beautiful to be
Mistral, mistral wind
All the hours on the watch
I wait for that breeze to move me
And blow me back to that place
Magic space all through me
And I sigh your name
Across the empty water
You made a crazy dreamer out of me
Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral
Mistral, mistral
The lyrics to Heart's song "Mistral Wind" paint a vivid picture of a sailor waiting for the wind to pick up and take his ship on its journey. The first verse describes the stillness of the ship and the sailor's restlessness, waiting for the gentle breathing that moves the seas to fill his sails. The second verse is where the action really starts, with the arrival of the Mistral wind. The wind whispers and clouds the glass as it awakens the sailor, rushing around him and talking sweetly to him like a lover. The wind blows strong and strange, and the sailor hears its name: Mistral.
In the chorus, the singer reflects on the power of the Mistral wind and how it has the ability to steer her ship even when she holds the wheel. She describes being spun around and losing her course, but the Mistral wind showing her the way to the deepest mountains that are too high and beautiful to be believed. She waits for the wind to blow her back to that magical space, sighing its name across the empty water. The Mistral wind has made her a crazy dreamer.
Overall, the lyrics to "Mistral Wind" are a beautiful and poetic depiction of the power of nature and the magic that can happen when we surrender to it. The imagery of the stillness of the ship, the whispering wind, and the sailor being spun around by the Mistral wind all create a sense of wonder and awe.

No wind when I took the watch
There was no wind when I began my shift to keep an eye on the ship
My ship was still and waiting
The vessel was motionless and awaiting the wind's arrival
I lay on that mirrored sky
I was lying on top of the calm sea, reflecting the sky above
A restless sailor waiting
As a sailor, I was impatiently anticipating a gust of wind to set our journey in motion
I closed my eyes said the
I shut my eyes and uttered
Words of will for the gentle
I spoke words to encourage the tranquil
Breathing that moves the seas
Breeze that sets the sea in motion
Make my sails fill
To inflate my sails with wind
Whisper waves cloud the glass
Soft waves blur the surface
Awake at last like a lover
I finally awakened like a devoted partner
It rushed around me talking sweet
The wind enveloped me and spoke pleasantly
Roll over, roll over, roll over
The wind encouraged me to roll over, possibly referring to the movement of the ship
And in my ear he blew his name
The wind whispered its name into my ear
It sound so strange but I heard it plain
Although the name was unusual, I understood it clearly
Mistral, mistral wind
This name was Mistral, the force that began to drive the ship
I have always held the wheel but
I was always in control of the ship, but
I let the wind steal my power
I allowed the wind to take over and control me instead
Spin me 'round lose my course
The wind caused me to spin aimlessly and lose my sense of direction
Nights run by like hours
Time went by quickly, night after night
Well, it would show me the way
The wind had the ability to guide me
To the deepest mountains
To the most profound and challenging obstacles
Too high and beautiful to be
So magnificent and breathtaking that it couldn't be real
All the hours on the watch
Countless hours spent keeping watch
I wait for that breeze to move me
I anticipate that gust of wind to stir me into motion
And blow me back to that place
To take me back to that magical location
Magic space all through me
Feeling as though I'm surrounded by enchantment
And I sigh your name
I whisper your name
Across the empty water
Over the vast expanse of water
You made a crazy dreamer out of me
You turned me into a wild dreamer, full of imagination
Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral
Repeating the name Mistral as the wind's effect continued to be felt
