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.

The Battle of Evermore
Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all
Rest not to lock your homes
Side by side we wait the might
Of the darkest of them all
I hear the horses' thunder down
In the valley blow
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon
Waiting for the eastern glow
The apples of the valley hold
The seeds of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care
Repay, do not forget, no, no
Dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The apples turn to brown and black
The tyrant's face is red
Oh the war is common cry
Pick up you swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and
Bad that mortals never know oh, well
The night is long the beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise
Waiting for the eastern glow
The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall
The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on
Sing as you raise your bow
Shoot straighter than before
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold
Oh dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The magic runes are writ in gold to
Bring the balance back bring it back
At last the sun is shining
The clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes
"The Battle Of Evermore" is a song by Heart that explores the themes of darkness and war as it transports listeners to a mythical land full of supernatural forces, and a battle between good and evil. The lyrics start with the queen of light taking her bow and departing, and the prince of peace embracing the darkness and walking the night alone. The song then invites everyone to "dance in the dark of night" as the dark lord rides in force tonight, and time will unveil everything. The lyrics tell us to "throw down your plow and hoe" and to wait side by side with the other warriors for the darkest night of them all.
As the song progresses, the lyrics describe the sounds of horses' thunder coming from the valley below, and the waiting for the angels of Avalon and the eastern glow. The "apples of the valley" symbolize happiness, and the need to repay and not forget the tender care that has produced a rich ground. However, the apples turn to brown and black as the tyrant's face turns red. The sky is described as being full of good and bad that mortals never know, and war becomes the common cry. The ringing of drums and the arrival of the ring wraiths in black are expected, and the lyrics instruct us to sing and raise our bows to bring balance back through the magic runes carved in gold. The song closes with the sun shining once more, the clouds of blue passing, and the flames from the dragon of darkness blinding its eyes as the balance is brought back.
Line by Line Meaning
The queen of light took her bow
The leader of the good forces prepared to fight
And then she turned to go
But had to leave the battle to her comrades
The prince of peace embraced the gloom
Meanwhile, the peaceful leader faced the despair of the situation
And walked the night alone
And carried the burden of the war alone
Oh, dance in the dark of night
The soldiers steeled themselves for the coming darkness
The dark lord rides in force tonight
The evil commander led his powerful army into battle
And time will tell us all
The outcome of the battle is uncertain
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
Farmers and civilians must abandon their work and fight for survival
Side by side we wait the night
The allies stood together, awaiting the enemy
The darkest of them all
This was to be a very grim night indeed
Ah
Oh
I hear the horses' thunder
The approach of the enemy's cavalry was deafening
Down in the valley below
They were coming from the lowlands
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon
The singer called for divine assistance from the mythical land of Avalon
Waiting for the eastern glow
Hoping for the first light of dawn to signal the end of the battle
The apples of the valley hold
This fertile land bears much fruit
The seas of happiness
Families and communities enjoy a bountiful harvest
The ground is rich from tender care
The earth is fertile from being well-maintained
Repay, do not forget
But farmers must remember to pay the land back for its bounty
The apples turn to brown and black
When war comes, the land is not spared
The tyrant's face is red, ohhhh
The enemy leader revels in bloodshed and violence
Oh, war is the common cry
The soldiers on both sides share in the horrors of war
The sky is filled with good and bad
The heavens witness all, whether good or evil
That mortals never know, ohhh
But human beings often cannot perceive these higher truths
Ohh
Oh, well, the night is long
The battle was fierce, and seemed to never end
The beads of time pass slow
Every minute felt like an eternity
Tired eyes on the sunrise
Soldiers grew weary, but still hoped for a successful outcome
Waiting for the eastern glow
Still waiting for dawn to arrive
The pain of war cannot exceed
The aftermath of war is just as unbearable as the fighting itself
The woe of aftermath
And can last for years, if not decades
The drums will shake the castle wall
The sound of battle resounds through the land, even beyond the battlefield
The ring wraiths ride in black
The agents of darkness are powerful and relentless
Sing as you raise your bow
The soldiers sing out as they prepare to fire their weapons
No comfort has the fire at night
Even the warmth of a fire cannot bring peace of mind in these circumstances
That lights the face so cold
The horrors of war have left the soldiers numb and despondent
The magic runes are writ in gold
Secret, mystical scripts hold great power in this world
To bring the balance back
Perhaps this power can be used to restore peace to the world
Bring it back
Let us strive to restore order and balance
At last the sun is shining
Finally, dawn breaks over the battlefield
The clouds of blue roll by
The sky clears up, signaling the end of the storm
With flames from the dragon of darkness
But victory did not come without cost, as the enemy was relentless in their pursuit of power
The sunlight blinds his eyes
With the dawn of a new day, the enemy is powerless to fight back
Bring it back
Once again, we must work to restore balance and order to the world
Huh huh huh [Repeat: x 28]

I would never have said it was possible, to cover Led Zeppelin and it sound that good? Impossible. THIS was amazing, fantastic!

Girls They're kicking ass!!

Prior to their getting their first record deal, they were essentially a LZ cover band. Anne plays flute on the intro to Stairway. I used to watch them playing clubs in the Vancouver BC area back in the late 70s. Very good club band back in the day.
Robert Davies
Find Amy Lee "Going to California" that's also a great cover version

@NastyNate san pfft dont get me wrong I love tool but his is on another level
Richard Morse
I've probably watched this at least 50 times over the years, and literally get chills ever time. This is easily one of the best covers of any song - by any group - of all time.
David Lake
Heart really is the only band should be aloud to play Zeppelin covers.

Totally agree 🖤🖤🖤🖤!
Ronnie Sturdevant
Great song and beautiful rendition. Zeperella, the all female band does a very good cover of Battle of Evermore.
