Everything in My Heart

A glistening 1985 power ballad defined by crystalline FM synthesis and Hart's signature raspy yearning. It captures the lonely, neon-lit atmosphere of a midnight city.

Everything in My Heart serves as the emotional anchor of Corey Hart's mid-80s output, stripping away the defiant Sunglasses at Night posturing in favor of a direct, heart-on-sleeve vulnerability. It is a song built on the architecture of 1985: glistening FM synthesis, wide-screen gated reverb, and a vocal performance that balances a breathy intimacy with a gravelly, anthemic reach. The track feels like a slow-motion walk through a city at 3 AM, where the neon signs are the only source of warmth.

Moments Worth Listening For
the moment the gated reverb snare kicks in after the initial synth wash, grounding the sentiment in a heavy 80s pulse
Hart's transition from a breathy, intimate whisper in the verses to a strained, passionate rasp during the final chorus
the bridge where the synth pads swell into a wall of sound, briefly eclipsing the vocal melody
