Every tongue, that wound my heart

In "Every tongue, that wound my heart," you can hover your mouse over each country to hear the portion of its anthem which uses the corporeal words "heart" and "eye." As you move across each country, its anthem continues to play until, eventually, the layering of anthems creates an overwhelming dissonance.

  fig. I 35 countries with the word heart in their anthems
  fig. II 11 countries with the word eye in their anthems
