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.
Me and My
Heavenly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see things in darkness when I'm scared
I feel cold out when it's sunny
Make a joke and laugh about it
Feel like you're a moving target
Wish all this had never started
Hurt myself instead of hurting him
Feels like it's a nightmare I'm in
Say one thing and think another
Stay in bed 'cause you're not bothered
Pray that it will soon be over
He told you that he loved you he'd stay with you
Oh you're a fool
Don't believe what people say they never stay anyway
He kissed me and then he stayed the night
I can't see that things could work out right
Seems as if I'll mess up some way
Hold his hand the world seems all new
Understand things when he's near you
Now he's gone it all seems untrue
He left her he said he cared that he'd be there
When you're scared
(Dont believe what those people say it's lies anyway)
I don't think they will/ I just can't sit still
Funny kind of ill/ Idon't wanna think about it
Showed me that your love/ but it's not enough
I can't ever trust/ I don't wanna think about it
You're there by my side/ then I asked you why
Could it be you lied?/ I don't wanna think about it.
My phone rings but there's no one there (hello?)
All my dreams have vanished in thin air
Was it real when you said you'd care
Once you kissed or did you dream it?
Bought a gift but he's not seen it
How'd you know he didn't mean it?
When he's gone it all goes wrong
Smashed up your home now you're alone
All of what you said/ goes round in my head
When I lie in bed/ I don't wanna think about it
I'm too paranoid/ you could get annoyed/
So did other boys/ I don't wanna think about it.
Heard it all before/ gets to be a bore
God my head is sore/ I don't wanna think about it
The lyrics of Heavenly's song Me and My Madness delve into the mind of someone struggling with their own thoughts and emotions. The references to hearing music strings where there are none and seeing things in darkness evoke a sense of surrealism and disorientation. The singer is plagued by a sense of malaise and detachment; they are cold when it's sunny and wish all of it never started.
The song then transitions to the singer's relationship struggles. They cut themselves instead of hurting their partner and feel like they're stuck in a nightmare. The singer oscillates between being in denial and being bitter - they make jokes about their situation while praying for it to be over. The singer expresses skepticism towards their partner's intentions and wonders if they really care about them.
The song's bridge contrasts the sense of security the singer feels when their partner is near with the emptiness they feel when they're gone, a feeling that is accentuated by the smashing of their home. The singer is left ruminating on their thoughts, wishing they didn't have to think about them but also paranoid that they might get annoyed if they voice their thoughts.
Overall, the song encapsulates the sense of being trapped in one's own thoughts and struggling with relationships. The surreal imagery and disjointed structure of the song lend to the sense of detachment and disorientation.
Line by Line Meaning
I hear string in songs when they're not there
I'm hallucinating and hearing things that aren't really there
I see things in darkness when I'm scared
When I get scared, my mind plays tricks on me and I see things that aren't really there
I feel cold out when it's sunny
I feel disconnected from reality and everything around me
Make a joke and laugh about it
I use humor to cope with difficult situations and pain
Feel like you're a moving target
I feel like I'm constantly being chased or attacked
Wish all this had never started
I regret the events that have led up to my current situation
Cut my hair and then I cut my skin
I hurt myself as a way to cope with emotional pain and distress
Hurt myself instead of hurting him
I hurt myself instead of lashing out at the person who caused me pain
Feels like it's a nightmare I'm in
My life feels like a bad dream that I can't escape
Say one thing and think another
I'm not always truthful about how I feel or what I think
Stay in bed 'cause you're not bothered
I feel apathetic and don't have the motivation to get out of bed
Pray that it will soon be over
I hope that my pain and suffering will come to an end soon
He told you that he loved you he'd stay with you
Someone promised to love and support me through difficult times
Oh you're a fool
But I was naive and foolish to believe them
Don't believe what people say they never stay anyway
I've been hurt before and I don't trust that people will keep their promises
He kissed me and then he stayed the night
I had an intimate moment with someone
I can't see that things could work out right
But I'm not sure if it will turn into a long-term, healthy relationship
Seems as if I'll mess up some way
I'm worried that I'll make a mistake and ruin everything
Hold his hand the world seems all new
Being in love makes everything feel different and magical
Understand things when he's near you
I feel like I have better clarity and perspective when I'm with him
Now he's gone it all seems untrue
But now that he's gone, everything seems like a lie
He left her he said he cared that he'd be there
The person who I trusted and relied on left me, even though they promised to be there for me
When you're scared
When I'm in need of help or support
(Dont believe what those people say it's lies anyway)
But I no longer trust anyone's words or promises
I don't think they will/ I just can't sit still
I don't think things will work out, and I'm too restless to sit still and wait for things to happen
Funny kind of ill/ Idon't wanna think about it
I'm struggling with my mental health, but I don't want to face it or talk about it
Showed me that your love/ but it's not enough
Someone expressed their love to me, but it doesn't feel like enough to heal my wounds
I can't ever trust/ I don't wanna think about it
I struggle to trust anyone and I don't want to think about being hurt again
You're there by my side/ then I asked you why
Someone was there to support me, and I questioned why they would bother
Could it be you lied?/ I don't wanna think about it.
I worry that they didn't actually mean what they said and I don't want to consider that possibility
My phone rings but there's no one there (hello?)
I feel like I'm being ignored or forgotten
All my dreams have vanished in thin air
The things I hoped for and dreamed of are no longer within reach
Was it real when you said you'd care
I question whether anyone truly cares about me
Once you kissed or did you dream it?
I'm not sure if the good moments I had were even real
Bought a gift but he's not seen it
I tried to do something nice for someone, but they didn't appreciate it
How'd you know he didn't mean it?
I question whether people's words and actions are authentic
When he's gone it all goes wrong
Without him, everything feels like it's falling apart
Smashed up your home now you're alone
I am left with nothing and no one, and my world feels destroyed
All of what you said/ goes round in my head
I can't stop thinking about all the things that were said and done
When I lie in bed/ I don't wanna think about it
It's hard to escape my thoughts, even when I try to sleep
I'm too paranoid/ you could get annoyed
I'm overly anxious and worried about pushing people away
So did other boys/ I don't wanna think about it.
I've been hurt before by other people, and I don't want to go through that again
Heard it all before/ gets to be a bore
I've been through similar experiences so many times that it's hard to find hope or motivation
God my head is sore/ I don't wanna think about it
All of these thoughts are overwhelming and causing me pain
