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 ↴
Pock marks and scars
Painted on your face
Talked to me, charmed me
Bought me a Bacardi
Asked please to walk me home
We met in a bad place
Because of the scar
It went right down across your cheek
Made you look scary
I guess you are
My sister's face fell to the gutter
You can't be going
Out with that nutter
Thought she'd know better
Daddy's girl, bed-wetter
I didn't hear a word
Don't bring trouble to our home
The words that my mother said
I blush thinking of the time
We sullied my parents' bed
I don't want that boy round here
Added my father then
No more going out for you
If I see his face again
We carried on dating
You said you'd waited
So long for this chance
It seems I misunderstood you
Foolishly thought that
You meant romance
My brother came back from his travels
And this is where
The story unravels
It seems that you've been enemies
Since your teens
Oh what a fool I've been
Don't bring trouble to our home
The words that my mother said
Please don't say I told you so
I'm wishing he was dead
I don't want that boy round here
Added my father then
No more need to worry dad
You won't see that boy again
What did you think when you held me
And gently kissed my face
All of the time acting
Playing out your vendetta game
It's all there in your scar
Just how brutal you are
(Cathy sings her first verse, backing up Amelia in this verse)
I spotted you out in a bad place
Pock marks and scars
Painted on your face
Talked to me, charmed me
Now you you just alarm me
I won't be fooled again
I won't be fooled again
I won't be fooled again
In Heavenly's song "Mark Angel," the singer recounts her relationship with a man who she met in a bad place, whose scar made him look scary, and who turned out to be her family's enemy. Despite her family's objections and warnings, they carried on dating until she discovered his true intentions, which were to use her to exact revenge on her family. The lyrics describe the singer's initial attraction to the man, her family's disapproval of him, and her eventual realization that their relationship was built on deception and revenge. The song ends with the singer vowing not to be fooled again.
The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and disillusionment, as the singer struggles to come to terms with the fact that the person she thought she loved was using her to hurt her family. The use of the scar as a symbol of the man's true nature is particularly striking, as it reveals the violence and hatred that he carries with him. The singer's family's reactions, from her sister's disapproval to her father's ultimatum, also add to the sense of conflict and tension in the song. Overall, "Mark Angel" is a powerful and emotional portrayal of the complexities of relationships and the consequences of betrayal.
