1. An English indiepop group (active from 1989 to 1996).
2. An Australian indie avant-garde band fronted by Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof, daughter of INXS member, Michael Hutchence.
3. A French power metal band (active from 1994 to present).
1. Heavenly were a 1990s indiepop band formed in Oxford, England in 1989. Amelia Fletcher (vocals), Mathew Fletcher (drums; Amelia's brother), Peter Momtchiloff (guitar) and Robert Pursey (bass) had all been members of Talulah Gosh, a key band of the c86 scene which preceded the indiepop movement, formed in 1986.
Heavenly debuted with the 7" single I Fell In Love Last Night, followed by another 7", Our Love Is Heavenly, both released in 1990 on Sarah Records. Heavenly Vs. Satan, the group's debut album, came out in 1991. They went on to release three more albums: Le Jardin de Heavenly, The Decline and Fall of Heavenly, and Operation Heavenly.
Shortly before the release of their final album in 1996, Mathew Fletcher, the band's drummer and Amelia's brother, committed suicide. The remaining members announced that the band name Heavenly was to be retired. The other members regrouped with a new drummer as Marine Research, a moniker under which they released a single album, 1999's Sounds From The Gulf Stream. The band's core members reformed in 2002 as Tender Trap.
A collection of their singles was released in 2020 under the title "A Bout De Heavenly." Reviewing in Pitchfork, Quinn Moreland noted "Heavenly released four studio albums, but a recent singles collection, A Bout De Heavenly, makes the case that some of their most magical work existed in smaller formats."
2. Heavenly is an Australian avant-garde, experimental band consisting of members Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof, Nicholas Allbrook, India Rose, Scarlett Stevens, and Jacob Diamond. The band released their first EP titled Tragic Tiger’s Sad Meltdown in March 2020 on Bandcamp.
3. Heavenly, a power metal/neo-classical metal band from Paris, France, were formed in 1994 by vocalist Benjamin Sotto and drummer Max Pilo. They were originally a cover band and played under the name of 'Satan's Lawyer' before evolving into a fully-fledged Helloween-influenced power metal outfit.
In 2000, Heavenly released their debut album 'Coming From the Sky.' Although it was largely shunned by the media, the album proved a hit with metal fans and its success helped Heavenly land an appearance at the French Hard Rock Festival.
Heavenly released their second album Sign of the Winner in 2001, and received positive feedback from both fans and media alike. After appearing at Wacken (the world's biggest metal festival) in 2002, Heavenly set to work recording their third album, 'Dust to Dust,' which was eventually released in early 2004, further solidifying their status as one of France's premier power metal bands.

Heavenly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the same I feel weak
The hereos win and never die
In all the fairy tales
Memories growin in my mind
I'm bringing it all with me away
So now I must to regain the sky
The way of light, the land of braves
But I saw the victory
The wounds are stronger as am I
My life is over again
And I'm bleeding inside
Crawlin on the road
Leads to the paradise(the sky)
as a human as am I
rising up with head held high
cause I defeated master
the nightmares creatures
I am free
flying beyond the stars
dust to dust
(I'm) leaving with (a) human's soul
printed on my mind
the life I passed away
look the sky
you'll see me again
high up in the sky
I watch the universe
the land where I deny
is far away from earth
but I would love to remain
I bid you farewell
The lyrics of Heavenly's song "Dust to Dust" contain themes of triumphant bravery, perseverance and transcendence. The song speaks about the struggles that people face in life, but also the hope and determination to rise above them. The opening line "After the rain arise the sunshine" suggests that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow. However, the singer admits feeling weak despite this optimism.
The lyrics go on to mention heroes who win and never die, symbolizing the idea that the memory of those who have done great things lives on forever. The singer acknowledges that memories can grow in their mind, and they take them all away, suggesting a desire to escape from the past and move on to better things. They must regain the sky, the land of the brave, and face their challenges head-on, even in the face of defeat.
The song then speaks of rising up with head held high and defeating the master, representing a personal victory for the singer. The lyrics suggest that even in defeat, one can be stronger for it. The song then speaks of leaving with a human's soul, printed on their mind, an acknowledgment of the human experiences and emotions that shape us. The final lines suggest that even though the singer is leaving, they leave with hope for the future and a possibility of seeing those they left behind again.
