It was written by Stuart Adamson and produced by Tim Palmer. "Heart of the World" reached No. 50 on the UK Singles Chart and remained in the Top 100 for three weeks. The song's music video was directed by Howard Greenhalgh. In 1991, Adamson picked it as his favourite Big Country video. Speaking of "Heart of the World", Tony Butler told the Aberdeen Evening Express in July 1990: "It's a simple song about belief in oneself. Throughout time people have followed guidelines set by heroes, and that's a positive human attitude we want to encourage."

APEMAN - THE KINKS - YouTube

FearlessFly comments on Sep 9, 2020:

It was written by Ray Davies and appears on the album Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One. In the song, Davies is fed up with the modern world and declares that he wants to "sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman". He also expresses how man created our problems and, given half a chance, he would leave the cities and traffic to live in the jungle. It reflects the nostalgia expressed on the albums Lola vs. Powerman and The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society.
