About Heartless

"Heartless" is a song written and recorded by the rock band Heart in 1976 for their album Magazine. Issues with the band's previous record label Mushroom caused a delay in the album's release and "Heartless" was released as a single two years later, after the re-issue of their first single "Crazy on You". The song is an aggressive hard rock number that opens with a slower synthesizer based interlude before opening up into a full hard rock tune. The lyrics involve a scorned lover who apparently can't get away from the grasp of her heartless partner. "The doctor said come back again next week / I think that you need me / All she did was cry / She wanted to die doctor when can you see me / There's a guy out there / Seems like he's everywhere / It just ain't fair.""Heartless" and "Without You" were the only singles released from Magazine, with "Heartless" peaking at number twenty-four on the US Billboard Hot 100. Only five months passed before Heart released their next album, Dog and Butterfly.

The doctor said come back again next week, I think that you need me
All she did was cry
She wanted to die doctor when can you see me
There's a guy out there 
Seems like he's everywhere
It just ain't fair

Heartless heartless, never out of control
Heartless heartless, sin in the name of rock and roll
Heartless heartless, he thinks it's so cool to be cold
Never realize the way love dies when you crucify it's soul

Late night in the penthouse room, the fire is burning
Shadows are warm, laying in his arms she answers his yearning
Her eyes are filled with sand

Heartless heartless, never out of control
Heartless heartless, sin in the name of rock and roll
Heartless heartless, he thinks it's so cool to be cold
Never realize the way love dies when you crucify it's soul
