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 ↴
Quite fun till quarter past nine
Then you came to
And things got right out of hand
All eyes and arms and mouth and
So close, oh gross
Your boss comes up
I'm seeing red now
I wanna leave
But your face is in mine
You're thinking bed now
Pass the bottom stair
And I'll become your worst nightmare
I am much too good for you
You sicken me with your belief
That I must want it underneath
Don't think you're coming in for more
Too late for public transport
And taxis I can't afford
Uh-oh, lift home
Your in-car CD player
Is blaring out Liz Phair
Blow Queen: obscene
Your driving's bad
All that lager you've had
I'm getting scared now
What a relief
See the end of my street
But you're thinking bed now
Pass the bottom stair
And I'll become your worst nightmare
I am much too good for you
You sicken me with your belief
That I must want it underneath
Don't think you're coming in for more
I warn you, pass the bottom stair
And I'll become your worst nightmare
I am much too good for you
You sicken me with your belief
That I must want it underneath
Don't think you're coming in for more
The song "Snail Trail" by Heavenly tells the story of a woman who attends an office party and ends up in a dangerous situation with a coworker. At first, the party seems fine, but things take a turn for the worse when the coworker begins making advances towards her. The woman tries to leave, but she is trapped in the car with the coworker, who is drunk and driving recklessly. Throughout the song, the woman asserts her boundaries and makes it clear that she does not want to be with this person. She warns him that if he tries to come into her home, she will become his "worst nightmare."
The lyrics of "Snail Trail" are poignant and relevant to the ongoing conversation about sexual consent and assault. The woman in the song is clear about her boundaries and does not give in to pressure, even when it means facing danger. The line "you sicken me with your belief that I must want it underneath" is a powerful statement about the cultural pressure on women to be sexually available at all times. By telling this story, Heavenly raises important questions about consent and the need for everyone to respect boundaries and communicate clearly with their partners.
Line by Line Meaning
The office party was fine
The party at work was enjoyable
Quite fun till quarter past nine
It was entertaining until 9:15 pm
Then you came to
You got sober or realized what was happening
And things got right out of hand
The situation went out of control
All eyes and arms and mouth and
You were very physical, touching and kissing
So close, oh gross
It was too intimate and disgusting
Your boss comes up
Your supervisor approaches
Thinks we're getting on fine
Assumes we are doing well
I'm seeing red now
Feeling angry and upset
I wanna leave
I want to go away
But your face is in mine
You are in my personal space
You're thinking bed now
You want to have sex
Pass the bottom stair
Referencing a specific location
And I'll become your worst nightmare
If you keep going, I will become a terrible experience for you
I am much too good for you
I am better than you
You sicken me with your belief
Your assumption disgusts me
That I must want it underneath
That I want to have sex with you
Don't think you're coming in for more
You are not allowed to come inside my place or to have any further sexual advances
Too late for public transport
It is past hours for using public transportation
And taxis I can't afford
I don't have enough money to take a cab
Uh-oh, lift home
You are giving me a ride home
Your in-car CD player
The music device inside your car
Is blaring out Liz Phair
The volume of the music is too loud and the song playing is by an artist named Liz Phair
Blow Queen: obscene
The lyrics in the song are sexually explicit and offensive
Your driving's bad
You are not driving well
All that lager you've had
You drank too much beer
I'm getting scared now
I am starting to feel fearful
What a relief
I feel grateful that we reached my destination
See the end of my street
My house is nearby, at the end of the road
But you're thinking bed now
You still want to have sex
I warn you, pass the bottom stair
A repeated warning to not cross a certain threshold
And I'll become your worst nightmare
I will become a terrible experience for you
Don't think you're coming in for more
You are not allowed to come inside my place or to have any further sexual advances
