Stewart's music career began in 1962 when he took up busking with a harmonica. In 1963, he joined The Dimensions as a harmonica player and vocalist. In 1964, Stewart joined Long John Baldry and the All Stars before moving to the Jeff Beck Group in 1967. Joining Faces in 1969, he also maintained a solo career releasing his debut album that year. Stewart's early albums were a fusion of rock, folk music, soul music, and R&B. His third album, 1971's Every Picture Tells a Story, was his breakthrough, topping the charts in the UK, US, Canada and Australia, as did its ballad "Maggie May". His 1972 follow-up album, Never a Dull Moment, also reached number one in the UK and Australia, while going top three in the US and Canada. Its single, "You Wear It Well", topped the chart in the UK and was a moderate hit elsewhere.
After Stewart had a handful more UK top ten hits, the Faces broke up in 1975. Stewart's next few hit singles were ballads with "Sailing", off the 1975 UK and Australian number-one album, Atlantic Crossing, becoming a hit in the UK and the Netherlands (number one), Germany (number four) and other countries, but barely charting in North America. A Night on the Town (1976), his fifth straight chart-topper in the UK, began a three-album run of going number one or top three in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia with each release. That album's "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" spent almost two months at number one in the US and Canada, and made the top five in other countries. Foot Loose & Fancy Free (1977) contained the hit "You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim)" as well as the rocker "Hot Legs". Blondes Have More Fun (1978) and its disco-tinged "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" both went to number one in Canada, Australia and the US, with "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" also hitting number one in the UK and the top ten in other countries. Stewart's albums regularly hit the upper rungs of the charts in the Netherlands throughout the 70s and in Sweden from 1975 onward.
After a disco and new wave period in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Stewart's music turned to a soft rock/middle-of-the-road style, with most of his albums reaching the top ten in the UK, Germany and Sweden, but faring less well in the US. The single "Rhythm of My Heart" was a top five hit in the UK, US and other countries, with its source album, 1991's Vagabond Heart, becoming, at number ten in the US and number two in the UK, his highest-charting album in a decade. In 1993, he collaborated with Bryan Adams and Sting on the power ballad "All for Love", which went to number one in many countries. In the early 2000s, he released a series of successful albums interpreting the Great American Songbook.
In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked him the 17th most successful artist on the "Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists". A Grammy and Brit Award recipient, he was voted at No. 33 in Q Magazine's list of the Top 100 Greatest Singers of all time. As a solo artist, Stewart was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and he was inducted a second time into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Faces.

Every Beat Of My Heart
Rod Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family
And my country
Heaven knows where I belong
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain
Say farewell but don't say goodbye
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now
In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
The lyrics of Rod Stewart's song "Every Beat Of My Heart" is about the longing of someone who is far away from home. The emotions of feeling lost, alone, and isolated seep through the words of the lyrics. The chorus repeats the phrase "Every beat of my heart," which is a metaphor for the intense longing the singer is experiencing as he is away from his family and home country. The opening lines paint a backdrop of loneliness with "misty eyes" and "lonely skies."
The lyrics depict the singer's desire to go back home, which he considers his rightful place of belonging. The phrase "Every beat of my heart tears me further apart" signifies the extent of pain and suffering he experiences due to the distance from his home. The lyrics make use of symbolism like the "red rose" and the "Emerald Isle" to indicate the cultural and emotional roots of the singer that he misses dearly.
Overall, "Every Beat Of My Heart" is a song that reflects on the powerful, yet heart-wrenching emotions of a person who wishes to return home. The lyrics express the longing to be reunited with one's family, culture, and country.
Line by Line Meaning
Through these misty eyes
Viewing the scenery through blurred vision
I see lonely skies
The skies appear melancholic and desolate
Lonely road to Babylon
A desolate journey towards an unknown destination
Where's my family
Questioning the whereabouts of loved ones
And my country
Yearning for the familiarity of home
Heaven knows where I belong
Uncertain of one's rightful place in the world
Pack my bags tonight
Preparing to leave immediately
Here's one Jacobite
Identifying oneself as a supporter of the Jacobite cause
Who must leave or surely die
Leaving is the only option to ensure survival
Put me on a train
Boarding a train to depart
In the pouring rain
Amidst heavy rainfall
Say farewell but don't say goodbye
Expressing a temporary goodbye in hopes of a reunion
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
Yearning for a bird to carry them to their destination
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Desiring to return to one's home and loved ones
Every beat of my heart
Emphasizing the acute physical pain of being away from home
Tears me further apart
The emotional pain of separation only intensifies
I'm lost and alone in the dark
Feeling stranded and isolated
I'm going home
Determined to return home
One more glass of wine
Having a final drink before departing
Just for auld lang syne
In honor of old times and memories
And the girl I left behind
Longing for the love left behind
How I miss her now
Feeling a deep sense of loss
In my darkest hour
During a state of exceptional distress
And the way our arms entwine
Remembering the embrace of a significant other
And we'll drink a toast
Celebrating their heritage and history
To the blood red rose
Recognizing Scotland's national flower
Cheer a while the Emerald Isle
Paying tribute to Ireland's vibrant landscape
And to the northern lights
Acknowledging the beauty of natural light displays in the sky
And the swirling pipes
Appreciating the sound of Scottish bagpipes
How they make a grown man cry
The emotional impact of music

I chose this song to be played at my brothers funeral a few years ago. He was 47 and had never really settled.
He left Scotland as a late teenager and went to England to find his dad. He found him, just a few years later his dad died. My brother never got on with our mum either. My brother was an alcoholic by his late 30's
We both had an awful childhood, I went down a better path, my bro didn't.
Since leaving home he lived in different towns making enemies every where he went. Never keeping jobs or women. He had a son and wasn't in his life just like his dad wasn't in his. He drank heavy and ate so much that he ended up morbidly obese.
He remained in England but his friends were drunken bums, my Bro couldn't escape his past. His son then found him and they had a terrible relationship for his last few years. My brother was depressed and angry all his life, never getting help, he missed Scotland but made too many enemies here. He couldnt find true love because every woman left him and rightly so.
I tried over and over again to help him, and all I got was grief from him. I think he resented me for letting go of the past and having great kids. I worked for years in therapy to be able to let go..
So the drink and his obesity killed him. I think, at 47, he felt his like was nearly over 🙄. We lost our mum when she was 41, his dad died at 45 and my dad died at 46. He had no idea there was a good life to live, he never tried.
So at his funeral, I believe his spirit went home to Scotland, made a toast, with IrnBru 😁😜, listening to those pipes feeling he was home. He met my mum and they made up 😁. So when it's my turn, they will be waiting for me.
Mum will be a good mother and my brother will be nice to me too. 😊. I'm 52 now and due to ill health won't reach old age but I'm OK with that.. To know those two are waiting and they now see the mistakes they both made, they're waiting to say sorry to me, I'm ready for that. 😊
