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.

Oldest Story In the World
Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kick it on down the drain
Kill the superstition
Gotta get a state of grace
(Chorus)
It's the oldest story in the world
There is nowhere left to hide
When there's no more asking why
There is nothing left to do
But love~baby love~baby love you
Crash the television
Thrash those games and fools
Gotta get a resolution
Better go go back to school
(Chorus)
Fair-weather friends and fair-weather cool
Righteous the right buy all the bad news
Rich up the rich and dumb down the poor
Take it no more
Heart's song Oldest Story In the World is an anthem for fighting superstitions, ignorance, and injustice. The lyrics urge the listeners to kick down and wash away the darkness and false beliefs. The phrase "kick it on down the drain" is a metaphor for flushing away negative thoughts and ideas. The message is to question everything and seek a state of grace, which is a life that is free of fear, judgment, and hatred.
The chorus declares that this fight is the oldest story in the world, and there's nowhere left to hide. It means that we can't escape from the harsh reality that exists, and we have to deal with it without questioning. The line "When there's no more asking why" is emphasizing that sometimes, we have to accept things as they are, leaving behind the skepticism that hinders our progress. The lyrics encourage us to express love, as it is the only thing left to do.
In the second verse, the song mocks those who are addicted to television and games, calling it a foolish and meaningless way of entertainment. The line "Better go go back to school" is an invitation to educate oneself, to improve our sense of reasoning and logic. The song also points out the injustice in society, where the rich acquire more wealth, whereas the poor are oppressed and deprived of their rights. The song calls for an end to this disparity and the need to resist this oppression.
