Comments: | At
the end of 2001, a month or two before Eyra Gail's debut, DJ
Sammy and Yanou's version
of Heaven (featuring
vocals by Dutch singer Dominique van Hulst) was released in
Europe. Then, in February 2002, Eyra Gail's near identical version was released in the USA. In the end however, it was Dominique's performance that proved more durable, eventually reaching #8 on the US charts. |

A pop oriented "Euro-trance" mix. | |||||||||||||
Audio-3: | Heaven (Chris The Greek Radio Edit) |
||||||||||||
Music researcher Pierre Oitmann comments: "A somewhat outdated club version.
These kind of mixes are still made by producers and DJ's from Belgium,
Germany,
UK and Italy. Some UK pop artists have similar sounding remixes made
by teams like Soda Club, Illicit, Bimbo Jones and Almighty." |

Audio-4: | Heaven (DJ Sunshine Radio Edit) |
||||||||||||
Pierre Oitmann comments: "Heavily outdated. Sounds a lot
like mid 90's Euro-trance from the Netherlands and Germany. The drum & bass
rhythm are like UK techno from the early 90's, and even more
like a Dutch dance style, named 'Happy Hardcore', which was extremely
popular between 1994 and 1997." |

Lyrics: | There was only you and me We were young and wild and free Now nothin' can take you away from me We've been down that road before But that's over now You keep me comin' back for more Baby you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in heaven And love is all that I need And I found it here in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven Oh - once in your life you find someone Who will turn your world around Bring you up when you're feelin' down Ya-nothin' could change what you mean to me Oh there's lots that I could say But just hold me now Cause our love will light the way Baby you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in heaven And love is all that I need And I found it here in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven - heaven I've been waitin' for so long For somethin' to arrive For love to come along Now our dreams are comin' true Through the good times and the bad Ya - I'll be standin' there by you |
