What's your favorite song about hearts?

[CBHagman]

Okay, for all you affectionate Valentine's Day types and heart patients and lurking cardiologists and cardiac rehab nurses, here's the musical question of the night: What's your favorite song about the heart or hearts?

I think my all-time favorite is Blue Rodeo's "Heart Like Mine," but I also have soft spot for Feargal Sharkey's recording of "A Good Heart," a song penned by Maria McKee. No, I did not leave my heart in Canada, though only my cardiologist knows for sure...


Happy V-Day, gang!

Heart Like Mine

Don't you know that we're out of touch,
Yeah, we fight too much,
How'd we ever get so messed up?
Everynight, we say the craziest things
You know our words they once had wings.
Now it's all covered up
In double-talk and lies
There's a stranger looking back
When I look in your eyes.
(repeat above)
I just want to find a heart like mine
I just want to find a heart like mine
A heart like mine, a heart like mine.
You call me a fool, 'cause I still feel the same.
You say that your love has changed,
Ah! Here we go again
Close your eyes tell me what do you see
Do you still remember me?
Like some Mexican diplomat
After the fact
Air-brushed from history
Swept under the mat.
I just want to find a heart like mine
I just want to find a heart like mine
A heart like mine, a heart like mine.
And as I walk out the door
I step into a dream.
The world's quiet and I feel free,
But things are never what they seem
But then I hear you call
And warn myself - now don't go back
But slow motion attacks
Like some Mexican diplomat
After the fact
Air-brushed from history
Swept under the mat.
I just want to find a heart like mine
I just want to find a heart like mine
A heart like mine, a heart like mine.

2. Heart of Glass

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

3. Probably "Heart of Stone" by the Rolling Stones

I love that one, but I'll also give honorable mention to "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar, "Hearts" by Marty Balin, and "Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" by the Young Rascals. Who knows, though? If I think about it too much I might come up with a whole different list! I'm horribe at narrowing things down...

4. Aint gonna eat my heart anymore - great choice!!

5. Broken Heart

You're breaking my heart, baby
There ain't a damn thing i can do
You got me wringing my hands
And crying, baby
While you're breaking my heart in two
You know i just can't believe
I can't believe, baby
That you're doing the things you do

I can't believe, baby
I can't believe you would do me wrong
Please have mercy on me, baby
I want you to come on back
Come on back where you belong
I want you so bad
I want you so bad, baby
You know i need my lady home

[SarahB]

6. Owner Of A Lonely Heart

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or loser

See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you - and that's the only way

Shake - shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Say - you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before

Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You - lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

After my own decision
They confused me so - Owner of a lonely heart
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap - Owner of a lonely heart
And don't you hesitate at all - no no

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart - Owner of a lonely heart
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start - Owner of a lonely heart

Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all - Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it

7. Cold Cold Heart

I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind,and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
And now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

8. Shape of My Heart- Sting

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn’t play for the money he wins
He doesn’t play for the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart
That’s not the shape, the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
You’d maybe think there’s something wrong
I’m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart
That’s not the shape of my heart

9. Open your Heart- Madonna

I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want don't try to resist me

Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key

I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes
You look a little sad boy, I wonder why
I follow you around but you can't see
You're too wrapped up in yourself to notice
So you choose to look the other way
Well, I've got something to say
Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to

Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key

Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to

Open your heart with the key

Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key

10. Wild Heart- Stevie Nicks

Something in my heart died last night
Just one more chip off an already broken heart
I think the heart broke long ago
That's when I needed you
When I needed you most
That's when I needed you
When I needed you most

I run around like a spirit in flight
Fearlessness is fearlessness
I will not forget this night
Dare my wild heart
Dare my wild heart

Where is the reason
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on my wild heart
As to the seasons
You fought from the beginning
Long before I knew it
There was a danger
And the danger was
To fall in love

In dark sorrow
They gaze down into the darkest heart
If I leave you
You say not even you can tear us apart
Say you're leaving
You say you don't even know
How to start...how to start...how to start
Well...believe it then
And don't blame it on my soul
Blame it on my wild heart
Ooo...on my wild heart...Ooo

Fire on fire...rain on my face
Fever goes higher...what can you do
Wild in the darkest places of your mind
That's where I needed you
Where I needed you most
That's where I needed you
Where I needed you most

Where is the reason
Well don't blame it on me
Blame it on my wild heart
There is a reason
Why even the angels
Don't give up at all
Where are the children
Well are they hopelessly enchanted
Blame it on the angels
Where are the reasons
Don't blame it on our wild hearts
Wild heart...wild heart...wild heart

On my...wild heart
On my...wild heart
Even in the darkest places of your mind
Wo...are the children are they hopelessly enchanted
Wild in the darkest places of your mind
No...don't blame it on me, baby
Blame it on my wild heart
Blame it on my...blame it on my...blame it on my
Blame it on my wild heart
(Even in the back of your...even in the back of your mind..)
