The Heart Beats

WE WILL POSSESS YOUR HEART!

About Me

The Heart Beats are an undisciplined but passionate army orchestra that is waging a Love-war on the world. Join us!

Born on Valentines Day to a Drum Corp Major and a Poetess, it is perhaps Stevie's manifest destiny that she is composing and conducting The Heart Beats' acoustic and digital heartfelt music.

In the spirit of uniting, these pieces include influences from classical, folk, pop, and hiphop music , as all are loved by our troops. We love everything, and we love at first sight, forever. Forever-ever!

"Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die." - E.M. Forster, Howards End
