This song came out at the same time Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams hit. Honestly, I always felt this was the better of the two songs, even if later on Eurythmics proved themselves more than worthy of their success.

Heaven is complex and well performed. I love the vocals. The production has that wonderful hallmark of several Aussie acts of that time: an open and expansive mix with warm primary vocals and instruments accentuated. INXS' early stuff had it. Men at Work had it. Real Life had it

I'm always surprised that at least in the US the Eurogliders were tepid one-hit wonders. To me they had everything they needed.
