1. An Engli… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least three artists with the name Heavenly.
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 ↴
Let's go out and have fun
Let's shoot our ray guns
Let's swallow space dust
As fast as we can
Let's stay up till dawn
Let's go out and disco
Let's draw us in dust
On old caravans
But you won't do the things
I'd like you to
Though you know deep inside that
If you just tried
You'd like them too
And you won't be the way
I'd like you to be
Though I know deep inside that
If you just tried
You'd still succeed
Be my Lenny
You say read a book
You say watch the telly
You say it's Wednesday
That means it's Radcliffe
On Radio One
You say time for bed
You say time for lights out
You say please don't cough
It's getting late and
You're up before dawn
But I won't do the things
You'd like me to
Though I know deep inside that
If I just tried
I'd like them too
And I won't be the way
You'd like you to be
Though you know deep inside that
If I just tried
I'd still succeed
Be your Lenny
I'm going out
All on my own
You never come
Stay in at home
What's the point of going on this way
What you love is just what I hate
You're staying in
All on your own
That's not my way
I have to go
But we've got what it takes, you see
I still love you, and you still love me
But I won't do the things
You'd like me to
Though I know deep inside that
If I just tried
I'd like them too
And you won't be the way
I'd like you to be
Though I know deep inside that
If you just tried
You'd still succeed
Be my Lenny
The lyrics of "Fat Lenny" by Heavenly seem to express a desire for two people to come together and explore new experiences. The singer suggests going on a walk, shooting ray guns, and staying up all night discoing. However, they seem to face resistance from the other person, who prefers more mundane activities like reading a book and going to bed early.
The chorus suggests a longing for the other person to be different, but ultimately realizing that they still love each other despite their differences. The singer asks the other person to be their "Lenny," perhaps meaning a nickname for a close friend or partner who is supportive and adventurous.
The song can be interpreted as a plea to embrace change and try new things in a relationship. It acknowledges the challenges of different personalities and interests, but ultimately emphasizes the importance of love and acceptance.

You prioritize passive activities like watching TV
You say it's Wednesday
You structure your time around routine and schedule
That means it's Radcliffe
You listen to a certain radio show at a certain time each week
On Radio One
This is the radio station you like to listen to
You say time for bed
You prioritize getting enough sleep and sticking to a schedule
You say time for lights out
You prioritize getting a full night's rest and being well-rested for the day ahead
You say please don't cough
You want to maintain a quiet and peaceful atmosphere for sleeping
It's getting late and
You want to make sure you get enough rest for the next day
You're up before dawn
You like to wake up early and start your day with purpose
But we've got what it takes, you see
We have a strong connection and relationship despite our differences
I still love you, and you still love me
Our love for each other is not diminished by our different preferences
