REMASTERED 2023 WAV HQ AUDIO

"Heaven's Here" 🌩️ a song by English singer Holly Johnson, released in 1989 as the fourth and final single from his debut solo album Blast. It was written by Johnson and produced by Stephen Hague. The song reached No. 62 in the UK and No. 22 in Ireland.

Upon release, Melody Maker commented: "Holly's a great one for the notion that social improvement begins with the self. We are all prospective gods and the sweet "Heaven's Here" tells us, "This is your lifetime". 

Tony Beard of Record Mirror described the song as "classy show-off pop" and added: "Not as stop-you-in-yer-tracks catchy as "Americanos" nor as thrillingly shocksome as anything by Frankie, but Holly Johnson really has hit a rich vein of form of late hasn't he?"

Music & Media considered the song "more commercial" than the preceding "Atomic City" and described it as an "easy-going, mid-tempo number with a good chorus".

📚 SONG LYRICS - "HEAVEN'S HERE" 🌩️ (as performed by HOLLY JOHNSON)

This is your lifetime

No matter what time of life

There's wonder in the air if you stop to care.

Look at heaven

It's kissing clouds

Everybody's living

Everybody's proud.

Sweet dreams tonight and forever

Secret lives we live together

Feel warm inside

This is your time

Peace

Harmony and love divine.

Heaven's here

Heaven's here

We're playing gods and angels

Heaven's here

Heaven's here.

Summer rain on your face

You're touched by grace

Blue skies

White lies and cherry pies.

Lay me down and love me

Leave the light so I can see.

Angel mine

Let's dream together

Sacred hearts that love forever

Feel warm inside

This is your time

Peace

Harmony and love divine.

Heaven's here

Heaven's here

Why waste your time in a living hell ?

You can live in cloudland just as well !

Sweet dreams tonight and forever

Heaven's here

Heaven's here

RETRO DISCO Hi-NRG 🚀 http://retrodisco-hi-nrg.blogspot.com 🖭 https://www.mixcloud.com/retro-nrg/ Remembering Bill Grainger: ✨ (R.I.P)

🔺 Bill Grainger is known for bringing HI NRG music to Scotland through his legendary Fire Island Club in Edinburgh in the 1980’s and his long running HI NRG show on Radio Clyde (Glasgow & Central Scotland) during the same period. He has worked with Simon Cowell, Eartha Kitt, Evelyn Thomas, Village People, Hazell Dean, Sinitta and many more. he also worked with Record Shack Records and managed Seventh Avenue who later became Big Fun (best remembered for their hit single Blame It On The Boogie). He also toured with The Hitman & Her show with Pete Waterman, Kylie Minogue & Jason Donovan. He then went on to launch CLUBSCENE RECORDS and ACADEMY STREET RECORDS.

🔺 Divine (performer) 👠 Artist info: ✨ (R.I.P)

Harris Glenn Milstead (October 19, 1945 – March 7, 1988), better known by his stage name Divine, was an American actor, singer, and drag queen. Closely associated with the independent filmmaker John Waters, Divine was a character actor, usually performing female roles in cinematic and theatrical productions, and adopted a female drag persona for his music career. After starring as the lead role in Waters' next film, Female Trouble (1974), Divine moved on to theatre, appearing in several avant-garde performances alongside San Francisco drag collective, The Cockettes. He followed this with a performance in Tom Eyen's play Women Behind Bars and its sequel, The Neon Woman. Continuing his cinematic work, he starred in two more of Waters' films, Polyester (1981) and Hairspray (1988), the latter of which represented his breakthrough into mainstream cinema and for which he was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male. Independent of Waters, he also appeared in a number of other films, such as Lust in the Dust (1985) and Trouble in Mind (1985), seeking to diversify his repertoire by playing male roles. In 1981, Divine embarked on a career in the disco industry by producing a number of Hi-NRG tracks, most of which were written by Bobby Orlando. He achieved international chart success with hits like "You Think You're a Man", "I'm So Beautiful", and "Walk Like a Man", all of which were performed in drag. Having struggled with obesity throughout his life, he died from cardiomegaly, shortly after the release of Hairspray. Described by People magazine as the "Drag Queen of the Century", Divine has remained a cult figure, particularly within the LGBT community, and has provided the inspiration for fictional characters, artworks, and songs. Various books and documentary films devoted to his life have also been produced, including Divine Trash (1998) and I Am Divine (2013).

📖 Song Lyrics - "Just Another Broken Heart" 💔 (DOROTHY MOORE)

Who rewrote the age-old story

Seems you knew the lines before

He came along to be your leading man.

Cast again as femme-fatale,

You're left without a curtain call

Waiting in the wings where you came in.

He was all you ever wanted

A sense of style, a taste for drama

Each of you stayed true to character.

Caught up in your own performance

Never read the subtle warnings

'til the moment you became aware

That it's

Just another broken Heart

Another minor tragedy

In which you played a major part

And if the footlights finally fade

The saddest scene has played.

And like the shadow in the dark you're left with

Just another broken heart

Just another Broken Heart

Now you wonder what it was

That turned the glitter into dust

And why this stage is always where you are

Here is where the actress cries

Left alone to realise

The script was merely written by the star

And it's

Just another broken,

Just another broken heart

Another minor tragedy

In which you played a major part

And if the footlights finally fade

The saddest scene has played

And like the shadow in the dark you're left with

Just another broken heart

Another broken heart

Another broken heart.
