One of my favorite bands is Nightwish and I have already shared some of their songs, here @ my virtual home, in the past. Last weekend, I had the privilege to watch their virtual concerts and there is one song I keep hearing in my mind…
How's the heart?
Over 300 million people worldwide suffer from depression and most likely even more experience some form of stress daily, prohibiting from thriving and thus enjoying life. There are various causes possible for going through harsh times. Asking for help can even become a too big step to take.
Often creative people (especially poets, painters and musicians) seem to have a tendency to slip into more melancholic emotional mindsets. I read somewhere, also some of the band members of Nightwish suffered from depression in the past. Whether it is a reason for the creation of this song or not, I feel it is a beautiful question to ask someone: How’s the heart?
When so many people around us are not thriving, having difficulties in Connecting to Life, to Others, or to Themselves, could a reason be some of them don’t feel heard? Offering help doesn’t have to be that difficult; a listening ear could already be all that someone needs.
So let me start and ask you: How's the heart?

How's The Heart? - Nightwish
Lyrics
We see a mother with no child
We meet a stranger poor, exiled
How`s the heart while it still beats?
Asks a no-one
Another John Doe
Sorrow hides well in your shell
A fellow man with hurt to spare
Dear one
Here I am to share the fear
An act of kindness
Without an amen
How`s the heart
Underneath the silence?
How`s the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire`s warm
Burn the rope and dance some more
We met where the cliff greets the sea
Shared a story, took the leap
Rose up rooted, hid a note
You know where
You`ve been there
Now there’s one who came from me
A child of light, another tale
Dear one
Night will come but not to stay
Oh, why?
The answer’s in the
How’s the heart
Underneath the silence?
How’s the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire’s warm
Burn the rope and dance some more
Fair winds, my love
Fly towards the calm
Fly utterly lost
Towards a beating heart
A beating heart
How is that heart
Underneath the silence?
How is the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire’s warm
How’s that heart
Underneath the silence?
How’s the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come on in, the fire’s warm
Dull the blade and dance some more
How’s that heart
Underneath the silence?
How’s the one
Drowning in the mire?
Let us sound a human paean
Come in, the fire’s warm
Burn the rope and dance some more

Soul Connection
There are many ways to Boost Your Soul and music is a fantastic one. There are a variety of genres you can listen to, even Soul Music is a genre in itself. To me, music is also a way to Connect with your Soul. A tool to help you go through emotions and acknowledge them. Depending on your mood, there will be always a piece of art that goes along with it. What I love most about music is how it can Connect people.

💜 Sweet “Soul Music” indeed; as an aside “The Heart” is actually The Solar Plexus, it’s just that “The Heart” is a Bit Better Looking
