...idea of someone, or specifically my entire seventh grade class, who preferred Green Day to the lilting “Swan Lake,” appalled me. Little did I then know that one day the Rolling Stones’ insistent strumming guitars would seem to echo my heartbeat, or that I would find as much poetry in Lou Reed’s tired voice as in a Mahler symphony. Since arriving at Harvard, and I now suppose throughout my life, music has provided a constancy and sincerity which elsewhere often remains elusive. Because of my classical training, I can?...
...their reluctance to run, Daschle and Gore are the exception these days. And while the Iowa caucuses may be more than a year ahead on your calendar, they feel like a heartbeat away to those who aspire to be the Democrat who challenges George W. Bush. The nomination might not seem like much of a prize, given that the winner gets to run against an incumbent President with a currently healthy approval rating and probably a quarter-billion dollars to spend in the campaign.

Another mechanism may also be at work. It turns out that the heartbeat of a person with depression is unusually steady.

"Ideally, your heart rate should be variable--it means your heart can respond appropriately to the different tasks it's called upon to respond to." Yet another possible link between heart disease and depression is a chemical called C-reactive protein (CRP). The liver normally produces CRP in response to an immune-system alarm when the body is infected or injured...
...startled, on the amazing "Blue Moon," by his trick of shifting, in a heartbeat, from saloon baritone to pants-too-tight wailing. We are reminded of his daring enunciation: all those words that suddenly began with h ("Hi want you, hi need you, hi-hi-hi love you"), the occasional glottal addition ("Glove me tender...") and his near Hawaiian avoiding of consonants ("Ya-hoo A-know Ah can be fou'/ Sittin' home all alo'"). That's from "Don't Be Cruel," a song that comes close to redefining the art of the pop vocal. It's gentle and amused, with...
...reminds those who watched MTV in the early ’90s what they are missing with the current obsession with boy bands and bare bellies. The first rumblings of Kurt Cobain’s low, searching voice, balanced by a thumping bass and percussion rhythm reminiscent of a heartbeat, are achingly familiar...
