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.
Sort of Mine
Heavenly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then blushed and ran away, I thought that he would miss me
Sort of dreamed he washed me over
With multicolor poster paints and love
And I stood drenched from head to toe
And said, "well I don't really know"
Someone to say he's sort of mine
Is this all that I want one more time
And if it is...
Sort of thought, that he'd be waiting
Well, nevermind, I know the effort he'd be making
Sort of dreamed of someone better
Who'd justify my kisses with his love
And I stood there basking in that glow
And said, "well I don't really know"
Is this all that I want in my life
Someone to say he's sort of mine
Is this all that I want one more time
And if it is, then why?
He's so fine
He's sort of mine
In the song Sort of Mine by Heavenly, the singer seems to be unsure about the kind of relationship she wants. On one hand, she acknowledges someone who sort of smiled and kissed her, but then ran away, leaving her to wonder if he really cared. She also mentions dreaming of being covered by multicolor poster paints and love, perhaps symbolizing the desire for a more full and vibrant relationship.
However, the singer also admits to standing drenched and unsure of what she wants in life, questioning if having someone who is simply sort of hers is all that she truly desires. She acknowledges finding someone better who could justify her kisses with genuine love, suggesting that she wants a deeper connection and not just a surface-level affection.
Overall, the song Sort of Mine seems to explore the idea of settling for less in a relationship versus holding out for something more meaningful and fulfilling.
Line by Line Meaning
Sort of smiled, sort of kissed me
He gave me a half-hearted smile and a hesitant kiss
Then blushed and ran away, I thought that he would miss me
He blushed and left in a hurry, which made me think he would be sad to leave
Sort of dreamed he washed me over
He imagined that he covered me in a rainbow of colors with his love
With multicolor poster paints and love
The colors used in the painting of love were varied and vivid
And I stood drenched from head to toe
I was completely soaked from the love he showered upon me
And said, "well I don't really know"
I wasn't sure if this was what I truly wanted or needed
Is this all that I want in my life
Is this the only thing I want in my life
Someone to say he's sort of mine
A person to claim that they are partially mine and not fully committed
Sort of thought, that he'd be waiting
I had a fleeting belief that he would wait for me
Well, nevermind, I know the effort he'd be making
I realized that he wouldn't go to great lengths to be with me
Sort of dreamed of someone better
I imagined having someone who was superior to him
Who'd justify my kisses with his love
Someone who would reciprocate my kisses with equal or greater love
And I stood there basking in that glow
I soaked up that feeling of being loved
And said, "well I don't really know"
The doubt resurfaced
Is this all that I want in my life
I again asked myself if this is what I truly want in my life
Someone to say he's sort of mine
A person to say they are only partially committed to me
Is this all that I want one more time
I questioned myself once more if this was truly enough for me
And if it is, then why?
And if this is all that I want, then why is it not enough?
He's so fine
He is wonderful
He's sort of mine
But he is only partially committed to me
