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.
So Little Deserve
Heavenly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Made a cradle with a piece of string
Made a snowman, made a treehouse
Made a game of everything
But when you, when you grew up
You grew up and forgot what's real
What's precious, not precocious
If I so little deserve you,
Then why have you stayed for so long?
If I so little deserve you,
Then why have you not gone?
Made the girls swoom without thinking
Made this girl begin to wonder why
Made me flowers from crepe paper
I was charmed there for a while
But when you, when you grew up
You grew up and forgot what's true
What's nice, not nauseating
How you once felt how I feel for you
If I so little deserve you,
Then why have you stayed for so long?
If I so little deserve you,
Then why have you not gone?
'Cause you may be grown up
And you may be cool
But I may be anything, anything but cruel
So don't ever ask me
Just what you should say
'Cause you could say anything, anything, anything
If I so little deserve you,
Then why have you stayed for so long?
If I so little deserve you,
Then why have you not gone?
The song "So Little Deserve" by Heavenly speaks about the nature of growing up and forgetting what is truly important in life. The lyrics begin by describing the innocence of childhood, where everything was a game and life was full of wonder. The singer describes how we as children could make a game out of anything, no matter how small, and how we were deeply in love with life itself. However, when we grow up, we tend to lose this innocence and forget what is real and truly precious. We become more focused on achieving success and meeting societal expectations rather than enjoying life's simple pleasures.
The chorus of the song poses a question to a loved one, asking why they have stayed despite feeling that the singer deserves so little. This could be interpreted in different ways, but it could refer to the singer feeling undeserving of their partner's love and yet grateful for it nonetheless. The singer could also be questioning their partner's willingness to love them despite their own perceived shortcomings.
The second half of the song seems to address the idea that the singer's partner may have also lost touch with their inner child and forgotten what is truly important in life. They may have become too focused on being "grown up and cool" at the expense of things that really matter. The final lines of the song suggest that there is no right or wrong thing to say, and that the most important thing is to simply be open and honest with one another.
Overall, "So Little Deserve" is a poignant reflection on how we can lose touch with the simple joys of life as we grow older, and how important it is to hold on to these things as we navigate adulthood and relationships.
