Heart has some great music.I found them sexy,as well.

I was going to start a Heart thread this week actually!

"Magic Man" is one of my favorite songs of all-time. "Crazy On You" is also a great one of course.

Sofia Coppola put Magic Man and particularly Crazy on You to great use in Virgin Suicides. I love that movie for many reasons, but it's score and soundtrack are two big reasons why.

And you know why?

Zeppelin. They were/are huge Zeppelin fans and have cited them in numerous interviews as a huge influence on their sound. "Magic Man" for example couldn't get any more Zeppelinesque. The riff is sort of a slowed down "Whole Lotta Love" and the guitar solo is straight out of "Heartbreaker". And the song "Sing Child" actually does have the same riff and bassline as "Heartbreaker" in it. The word "heartbreaker" is even in the lyrics of this one.

I always thought that "Magic Man" was about Jimmy Page actually. (you know, all the black magic rumors and having "magic hands". )

Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
You know I could not run away
It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me, yeah
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me and
Let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
I'm a magic man."

Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of June
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever
Summer lover passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she's worried
Growing up in a hurry, yeah
"Come on home, girl" mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby and my girl should be at home!"
"But try to understand, try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man, mama, ah ...
He's a magic man"

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child!
But try to understand, try to understand, oh ... oh ...
Try try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man!" oh yeah
Oh, you've got the magic hands

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet
Let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man." yeah ... oh ...

You're not going to believe this (well, maybe you will ) but I have a photo of Jimmy Page with Sofia Coppola.

This is as good a thread as any to show it.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Yeah, and I'm sure everyone is just dying to see it too.

If I can find it easily, (you know, the multiple hard drives of photos and all) I'll post it. Just for you.

They did remake Battle of Evermore on the Singles soundtrack.

RipHer2Shreds said:

That's right! I think you're the one who told me that too a while back. I haven't heard it though.

It looks as if Halfin caught him making advances towards her by pushing her up against the window or something.

The best part of Godfather 3 is when Sofia took a bullet. She's the WORST actress alive (heck of a director, though)

Jimmy looks pretty damn good actually! And Sophia...yow

But back to Heart...I listened to the latest 'Jupiter's Darling' last night - old time Heart fans should get this one. Tons of great vocals, harmonies, slammin guitar, mellotron & moog ...the good stuff is all there. Very well done

I'll have to agree with you on that one.
