About Nothin' at All

"Nothin' at All" is a song written by Mark Mueller (words & music) and recorded by rock band Heart. A Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit peaking at #10, it was released as the fourth single from the band's self-titled 1985 album Heart, and was the fourth song from the album to hit the U. S. Top 10. It also was a Top 40 hit in the UK, peaking at #38 in 1988 (after reaching number 76 in the UK Singles Chart two years earlier during its original release). Lyrically it is a love song which describes a new relationship which falls into place without effort or conflict. The song's title phrase is employed both when the narrator describes the new relationship as being like "nothin' at all" (that she's ever previously experienced), and also when she asks the song's subject what he did to make falling in love so easy, his response is "nothin' at all". The song's music video received heavy rotation on MTV and this single was the last big hit from the Heart album.

I would walk home every evening
Through the pyramids of light
I would feed myself on silence
Wash it down with empty nights

Then your innocent distractions
Hit me so hard
My emotional reaction
Caught me off guard

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought no it's so much more
No one else has ever made
Me feel this way
When I asked you how you did it
You just say
It was nothing at all

Now I walk home every evening
And my feet are quick to move
Cause I know my destination
Is a warm and waiting you
From our first communication
It was clear
Any thought of moderation
Would soon disappear

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought no, it's so much more
No one else has ever made
Me feel this way
When I asked you how you did it
You just say
It was nothing at all

Then your innocent distractions
Hit me so hard
My emotional reaction
Caught me off guard

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought no, it's so much more
No one else has ever made
Me feel this way
When I asked you how you did it
You just say
It was nothing at all

It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
