State of the Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I let it go
And now I'm gonna take down the whole thing
Everything is going down with me
Thought you told him everything
Left out a little bit about yourself
And I found out from your best friend
I think its time that I filled him in
Everything is going down
With me
You know to much keep it to yourself
So much at stake but you don't give a damn
And now it's coming back on you
You keep on pushing baby can't you see
Always try but your never gonna get to me
I'll make sure this time
Tell him what you know I thought you had me
But you let me go
Can't take it anymore cause
I got so much I've been saving up
Everyone's gonna drown in it

How many singers are still this good in their 60s? Ann is a powerhouse.
DylanDog
Anne’s vocals are some of the highest, most aggressive in rock. The raw power and comfort to hit those notes was a feat in the 70’s, let alone 40 YEARS LATER. Seriously. Not one bit of cheating, not letting the crowd sing, not lowering the song, she has always had IT. Almost seems impossible to sing these songs at this level for so long.

Nancy Wilson has played the intro to this song for 40 years.....no two intros are the same.....what is the same every time is the chill you get when she breaks into the song.....you can't help but play air guitar with her.....mesmerizing.....
