A quick one today boys and girls. "Heaven" is an amazingly strong number from Los Lonely Boys, a self declared "Texican Rock" band. The song was written by brothers Henry, Jojo and Ringo Garza, who are heavily featured in the songs video.
The song did extremely well and would make it to number 16 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and reach number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. "Heaven would also go on to win a Grammy in 2004, Many think the song contributed mightily for their self-titled record going multi-platinum.
Wikipedia mentions AllMusic reviewer Thom Jurek, who described the song as "infectious" and draws comparisons to the music of Freddie King,Stevie Ray Vaughan and Los Lobos. He goes on to state that "Heaven" is "a single in the old sense of the word: killer hook, easy groove, a slippery but unmistakable bridge with a beautiful vocal to boot -- all coming in under four minutes. I don't think we could top that description.
Vamonos!
Save me from this prison
Lord, help me get away
Cause only you can save me now
From this misery
I've been lost in my own place
And I'm gettin' weary
How far is heaven?
Enjoy this Texas gem!
