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 ↴
You took it out on me
While I gathered you up
You swallowed me up
If I could I would try
To keep you the same
What must I do?
I'll smoke a pink cloud with your name
You'll grow out of it soon
"The Angel" by Heavenly is a song that has deep, introspective lyrics that talk about the sacrifices one can make in a relationship. The lyrics are quite metaphoric, and it's not easy to understand them in one go. The first two lines of the song, "Angel blood sacrifice, You took it out on me," suggest that the other person in the relationship has made a significant sacrifice for the person singing the song. However, it also talks about how that sacrifice has hurt the singer.
The next few lines of the song, "While I gathered you up, You swallowed me up," indicate that while the person was going through the turmoil of making that sacrifice, it consumed the singer. The song also talks about wanting to keep the other person the same, but not knowing how to do it. The line "What must I do?" suggests that the singer is confused and doesn't know what to do to keep things the same.
In the next lines, "I'll smoke a pink cloud with your name Like your favorite cartoon You'll grow out of it soon," the singer talks about smoking something in honor of the other person. The phrase "pink cloud with your name" might suggest that the singer is smoking a drug, and the color pink is usually associated with a mild hallucinogen. But, it might also be interpreted as a way of celebrating the relationship. The singer finishes the line with "Like your favorite cartoon/ You'll grow out of it soon," which might suggest that the other person will eventually mature and outgrow the relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
Angel blood sacrifice
I feel that you have taken advantage of my kindness and generosity for your own benefit, like an angel blood sacrifice
You took it out on me
You vented your frustrations and anger onto me, regardless of how it made me feel
While I gathered you up
When you were down and needed help, I was there for you to support you and lift you up
You swallowed me up
You took everything I had to offer and left me feeling empty and drained
If I could I would try
If it were within my ability, I would do everything in my power to keep you happy and content
To keep you the same
To preserve the way things were between us, when we were happy and fulfilled in each other's company
What must I do?
I am at a loss for what I can do to salvage our relationship and make things right between us
I'll smoke a pink cloud with your name
As a gesture of my affection and longing for you, I will indulge in a favorite pastime while thinking of you
Like your favorite cartoon
It will give me joy to remember the things that you loved and make me feel closer to you
You'll grow out of it soon
I hope that you will soon see the error of your ways and come back to me, realizing what we had was special and worth fighting for
