1. Sweetheart from Kent, O… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 5 groups by this name.
1. Sweetheart from Kent, OH:
Sweetheart is a post-hardcore band whose four members are self-proclaimed art-nerds, which perfectly describes why the band’s rather disjointed six-track sermon flows with the ease of a stroke of a brush. Chock full of dissonant yet memorable musical passages and laced with luscious jam band prowess, this Kent, OH based quartet showcase a knack for writing powerful riffs that collide with contagious choruses, all the while maintaining a strong level of cleverness and ingenuity.
Members:
ahmed gallab: drums/vocals
michael howard: guitar/vocals
greg lofaro: bass/vocals
bryan parker: guitar/vocals
2. Finnish UG-rockband:
Sweetheart was one of the finest 90's post-punk outfits in Finland. Their Birthday Party meets AC/DC brand of punky swamp-blues was terrifyingly intense on record (which were released by the seminal Finnish label Bad Vugum) but live they were something totally otherworldly, bulldozing everything in sight with pure volume and sonic intensity.
Lineup:
Janne Westerlund - Vocals, Guitar
Pekka Jääskeläinen - Guitar, Bass
Tommi Nakari - Bass, Guitar
Leopold Higgins - Drums, Percussion
3. Canadian Indie Rock Band:
Hailing from Vancouver Canada, Sweetheart was formed in 2004, where fate intervened earlier that same year when Marty (guitar and lead vocals) and MK (drums) bumped into each other at a party in Vancouver not having seen each other since their Victoria childhood. After solidifying the line-up with Sammy (guitar and vocals) and Weezee (bass and vocals), an LP was independently released late in 2006 aptly titled "Map of the Human Heart". Touring the album for 2 years the boys opened up for such bands as Shiny Toy Guns, The Stills, The Trews, Mariana's Trench, Faber Drive, The Dudes, and Two Hours Traffic, just to name a few. With a critically live show and called one of “Vancouver's best live bands”, their stage energy is second to none and totally infectious.
4. Sweetheart, Southampton UK

5. American rap and hip-hop artist and actress.

Sweet Wind
Sweetheart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It rocked me like a southbound bus
For 27 years
I got nothing to keep but dust
Cause you stole my heart
In a parking lot
In your pretty dress
And we had them kids
Bought a diamond ring
Someplace we called home
Cause we couldn't feel
The sweet wind
That blows you down the road
The sweet wind
Lifts your heart up like a leaf
The sweet wind
That tears it all apart
Oh I worked for all we need
Swinging that hammer on the wood so hard
We got nothing left to keep
Just tumbling off the train for a couple of bars
Oh so lost my love
And would you take me home
From a bar downtown
Through the moonlit streets
To our old red house
And would you dance with me
On the bedroom floor
Would it still just hurt
Cause we couldn't feel
The sweet wind
That blows you down the road
The sweet wind
Lifts your heart up like a leaf
The sweet wind
That tears it all apart
In these poignant lyrics, Sweetheart reflects on the ups and downs of life and love, painting a picture of a journey filled with joy, struggle, and ultimately heartbreak. The song starts with a reflection on the unpredictability of life, likening it to a turbulent ride on a southbound bus that has left the singer feeling empty and burdened by memories represented by dust. Despite the challenges faced, the turning point comes in a simple yet impactful moment - when love unexpectedly blossoms in a parking lot, symbolized by the imagery of a blanket of stars draped over the beloved's pretty dress.
The narrative then shifts to a chapter of shared experiences and responsibilities, marked by the arrival of children and the symbolic gesture of a diamond ring to seal the bond between sweethearts. Together, they navigate the complexities of creating a home and a life that, however materially secure, seems lacking in emotional connection and depth. The recurring motif of the "sweet wind" is introduced, symbolizing the unseen force of change that is both uplifting and destructive, serving as a reminder of the impermanence and fragility of love and relationships.
As the song progresses, the tone grows increasingly melancholic as the singer reflects on the sacrifices made and the toll taken in pursuit of a stable life. The imagery of hard physical labor and the subsequent feeling of loss and emptiness depict a sense of resignation and weariness. Despite everything, there remains a glimmer of hope and a plea for connection as the singer asks to be taken back home, seeking solace and reconciliation with their partner in the familiar setting of their red house. The mention of dancing together on the bedroom floor highlights the desperate desire to recapture the intimacy and closeness that seems to have faded over time.
Ultimately, the chorus of the sweet wind serves as a bittersweet reminder of the forces beyond our control that shape and define our lives. It is a nod to the cyclical nature of change and the inevitable ebb and flow of emotions in a relationship. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing, nostalgia, and vulnerability, encapsulating the complexities and contradictions of love that can both uplift and devastate. Through vivid imagery and heartfelt storytelling, Sweetheart delves into the universal themes of love, loss, and the ever-changing winds of life that carry us along our journey.

Honey life ain't always sweet
Life can be challenging and difficult at times
It rocked me like a southbound bus
It shook me to my core
For 27 years
Throughout a significant period of time
I got nothing to keep but dust
I have nothing left but memories
Cause you stole my heart
You captured my love
In a parking lot
In an unexpected place
In your pretty dress
Looking beautiful
Was a blanket of stars
Under a starry sky
And we had them kids
We started a family
Bought a diamond ring
Committed to each other
Someplace we called home
A place where we felt comfortable and safe
Cause we couldn't feel
We were emotionally disconnected
The sweet wind
The gentle breeze of change
That blows you down the road
Leading you on a new path
Lifts your heart up like a leaf
Bringing joy and renewal
That tears it all apart
Causing everything to fall apart
Oh I worked for all we need
I did my best to provide for us
Swinging that hammer on the wood so hard
Working tirelessly to build a future
We got nothing left to keep
There's nothing left to hold onto
Just tumbling off the train for a couple of bars
Drifting aimlessly without direction
Oh so lost my love
Feeling confused and alone
And would you take me home
Will you bring me back to where we belong
From a bar downtown
From a place of distraction
Through the moonlit streets
Under the light of the moon
To our old red house
To the familiar comfort of our home
And would you dance with me
Will you share a moment of joy with me
On the bedroom floor
In an intimate setting
Would it still just hurt
Will there still be pain
The sweet wind
The breeze of change
That tears it all apart
Causing everything to crumble
