#RickSpringfield #StateOfTheHeart #Rock #Tao
Lyrics:
If I seem a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in

[@duck2dodger]

The Summer of 85 and this whole album was played over and over again at the lake everywhere. I will never forget the good times ....Thanks Rick.

[@celaine1970]

It was a great summer and my bff's and I saw Rick on the Tao tour in July '85. His opening act was Til Tuesday and wow, what a show! Saw him again in the 90s and 2000 and he was every bit as exciting as '85. Love you Rick❤🥰😘🎶

A Timeless Album for Sure. Still Play it and doesn't feel dated. 🎼❤️

I was a rookie police officer when this song first came out, I routinely had to take prisoners, or response to accidents, etc...at the local hospital. Everytime (usually at night, rookies had night shift) I would see this same girl working the graveyard shift in the ER and in between cases we'd talk and shoot the Sh##...anyways, we eventually went out and have been married all this time! This song has always been "ours" and i listen to it all the time because it reminds me of our crazy times!

[@codacreator6162]

That's a fact. People too quick to pigeonhole him as a pop star and completely overlooked his ability as a musician. Sometimes, it doesn't pay to be too attractive to teen girls... Think how Bruce Springsteen's career would have gone if he didn't look like a truck driver.

[@rhoadnaroahs]

It's a shame people only know RS from Jessie's Girl not realizing how many great songs he has and such above average production too!!

[@coolcat6303]

Agreed. I was one of those ppl for awhile too. Only knew like 3 of his songs from the radio & MTV. But when I bought his first G/H album in the early 90's, I was blown away by all the other great songs he had (like this one) that barely got played on the radio. He was definitely not just a one hit wonder.

[@tensphreak]

RS has a good body of work. But the producers from the Sound City Studio in LA helped shape that sound.

[@rhoadnaroahs]

tensphreak Well, kudos to Rick for using them.

[@sophiamarshall9340]

Same. I love every song he's made. I'm probably not his biggest number one fan, but I'm obsessed with him and his music.

[@zenadeleon7785]

Love this song, I still remember the first time I heard it. Was a high school girl....he's been a lifelong crush of mine and will always be. Saw him a couple of weeks ago here in Austin and he still has it! ❤❤❤ His show managed to pull me out of a funk I was in, had been a rough week for me, finding out an old friend of mine had passed away unexpectedly and was trying to make sense of it. But Rick's show allowed me a brief sense of respite from the pain I was in. ❤❤❤

[@catshultz9045]

I saw him hear in Va a year and a half ago...had just had a toe amputated...I was bummed,having phantom pains,but he came up to mom,grabbed her hand,played just as good as he did when I was 12 & had just lost his mother. You could feel his grief but he still used it to push through. I'm sorry about your friend.

Rick Springfield wrote some really good and some surprisingly great songs, but "State Of The Heart" is a talented songwriter at the absolute top of his game.

The cover by Rick is amazing, but the song was first recorded by Mondo Rock (different vibe, but still great) and one of it's members wrote it.

[@tracyann2022]

I lived in rural USA back when this video/song first came out. Cable wasn't an option and luckily there was a sole station on TV that would play only three or four videos around midnight on Friday night. Would wait all week for Friday to roll by so I can catch the latest on videos hoping to see a fav song as they were super random picks. Then one Friday night they aired this video and I was in mad love with the song. I had never heard it before and I bugged my parents forever to get me the tape :) Still one of my most fav songs of all time!!!! Awh the 80's had the best music I swear.
