"How heavy lies The heart" has drawn inspiration from The traditional French Christmas carol, "Quelle est cette odeur agréable", which John Gay also set as a boisterous drinking song in The Beggar's Opera, "Fill every glass, for wine inspires us!" In addition, The song draws inspiration from Josquin's Missa Pange Lingua.

The musical style is reminiscent of The 19th century although The piano part does go into 20th century style syncopation at times.
