Anni 80, gli anni dominati da Ronald Reagan, il cowboy, alla presidenza degli USA...

[1984]
Scritta da Richard e Tim Butler
Nell'album "Mirror Moves"

"Heaven" is not quite what it seems. Despite its title, this song from the 1984 album Mirror Moves is far from a testament of faith. The gravity of its lyrics is lightened by an addictive beat that drew throngs of fans onto the dance floor whenever it played. Tim Butler, the band's co-founder and bassist, told us the meaning of "Heaven": "It's about planes flying over ready to drop bombs, nuclear bombs: 'And I'm standing on ice when I say that I don't hear planes.' It's sort of strange that people would dance to it and stuff with a happy vibe, when it's quite a heavy song." (Songfacts)

Grazie a Riccardo Pandolfi, conduttore di Weekend Revolution su RAI Radio2, per avermi fatto riscoprire questo pezzo immortale, icona degli anni 80.
