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.

Farewell
Heavenly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And theres no easy way out to flee the pain
Still hold a place for you in my heart
Ill go somewhere on my own
Just somewhere I belong
Somewhere out there for me

I sometimes felt that my life was a misery
I couldnt find my place here ending my destiny

Dont say a word, dont try to step me
So do you realize that I am already damned

Towards the land of far away
Lighting up the sky
Theres nothing here to celebrate
Silences reigning in the wild

So I am a vagabond riding the universe
Diving into eternity
I am biding you farewell
Cause I will never back again

And if the night belongs to lovers

The twilight belongs to me
I carry on all alone but my soul still remains
Singing loud to save my honour
Delivery is near
Passing through the stars forever we are free

And theres no easy way out to flee the pain
Still hold a place for you in my heart
Ill go somewhere on my own
Just somewhere I belong
Somewhere out the for me

Solo: Corbiaux / Lapauze

And theres no easy way out to flee the pain
Still hold a place for you in my heart
Ill go somewhere on my own

Just somewhere I belong
Somewhere out there for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Heavenly's song Farewell express the pain and struggle of trying to move on from someone or something that has caused heartache. The vocalist acknowledges that there is no easy way to escape the sorrow, but they still hold a place for the subject in their heart. They feel lost and out of place in their current surroundings and plan to head out to find a place where they truly belong. They crave adventure and the chance to start anew, looking towards the sky and the universe as a means of finding freedom.

The second verse delves into the singer's feelings of misery and purposelessness. They feel as though they are damned and unable to make a meaningful impact on their current world. The chorus repeats the previous sentiments of holding a place in their heart but needing to leave to find their true purpose and home. The bridge reflects on the idea that while the night may belong to lovers, the singer finds solace in the twilight, carrying on alone but keeping their soul alive by singing to preserve their honor.

Line by Line Meaning

And there's no easy way out to flee the pain
Running away won't alleviate the pain I feel

Still hold a place for you in my heart
I still care for you despite the pain and distance

I'll go somewhere on my own
I'm leaving this place behind

Just somewhere I belong
I'm in search of a place that feels like home

Somewhere out there for me
There's a place out there waiting for me

I sometimes felt that my life was a misery
At times, life felt unbearable

I couldn't find my place here ending my destiny
I felt lost and couldn't find my purpose

Don't say a word, don't try to step me
Please don't interfere or hold me back

So do you realize that I am already damned
I feel hopeless and beyond saving

Towards the land of far away
I'm headed towards a distant place

Lighting up the sky
My journey will leave an impact
