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.

Creature i will become one
On my way, there's no sun
But i have to carry on
Look my force is more powerfull
Piece by piece vampire rules
On my way, in my world
I realize past life has gone.
Impulses're driving me away in hell
no tears in my eyes
there's no beat in my heart
I just feel the pain
Growin' into my brain
I'm still the son,
The abandoned child of eternity
I don't belong to the sky
I just follow my way
Ready to roam in the night
I hear this symphony
Running after the devil
The prince of immortals
Feared by everyone
I am strong as hard as metal
Innocent blood I must take on
the crime is in my soul
lust for life
I don't belong to the sky
I just follow my way
Ready to roam in the night
I hear this symphony
Running after the devil
The prince of immortals
freak for every one
I am proud as srtong as metal
Creature of flesh I must devour
To be free
Lust for life
Every night the realm is mine
Beware until the sunrise in the sky
In the night I stay here to bite
Take care of you, blood thirsty I am one
Eternalle.
And in my dream
All victims forgive me
They watch me in the sky
They light my way from the other side.
No tears in my eyes
there's no beat in my heart
I just feel the pain
Growin' into my brain
I'm still the son.
The abandoned child of eternity
I don't belong to the sky
I just follow my way
Ready to roam in the night
I hear this symphony
Running after the devil
The prince of immortals
Feared by everyone
I am strong as hard as metal
Innocent blood I must take on
the crime is in my soul
lust for life
I don't belong to the sky
I just follow my way
Ready to roam in the night
I hear this symphony
Running after the devil
The prince of immortals
freak for every one
I am proud as srtong as metal
Creature of flesh I must devour
To be free
Lust for life
The lyrics of "Lust for Life" by Heavenly describe a sort of struggle between the singer's humanity and their inner dark desires. The song is mostly concerned with the singer's feelings of being a creature who must take innocent blood in order to be free. They describe themselves as an abandoned child of eternity who is not meant to belong to the sky but to roam in the night. The singer seems to be conflicted by their humanity and their desire for power, feeling impulses driving them towards hell.
The song raises questions about the nature of humanity and the struggle between good and evil, as well as desire and morality. The singer's lust for life is almost a lust for death, and the violent imagery of the lyrics paints a vivid picture of the struggle within the singer's soul. The song seems to be about giving into one's base desires and the consequences that come with that, but also touches on themes of redemption and forgiveness. In the end, the singer's victims forgive them and light their way from the other side.

Take care of you, blood thirsty I am one
So be aware, for I am thirsty for blood
And in my dream
Sometimes, when I dream
All victims forgive me
My victims, in my dreams, forgive me
They watch me in the sky
They watch over me from heaven
They light my way from the other side.
Guiding me towards redemption from the other side
