“A stunningly impressive tune”, “great song, meaningful lyrics”, a song that gives “spiritual strength” – these epithets have been used by YouTube viewers to describe the debut single by Scottish singer Emeli Sande – Heaven. It was included into the playlist of BBC Radio 1 in June, 2011, and crowned record of the week. The song was written by Sande in collaboration with Craze, Hoax, and Naughty Boy, and produced by Mike Spencer.
Can you imagine that the track received only positive reviews from music critics? They were, in fact, stunned by the song! Sande’s vocals were compared to those by Leona Lewis and by Yasmin. The accompanying music video was filmed in London. It features Sande standing outside a Cathedral and singing to the skies. It also includes many shots of Mary, the mother of Jesus’ statue. The single debuted at position 2 on the UK Singles chart and at position 2 on the UK Dance chart.

Emeli Sande – Heaven Song Words
Will you recognize me in the flashing lights?
I try to keep my heartbeat, but I can’t get it right
Will you recognize me, when I’m lying on my back?
Something’s gone inside me, and I can’t get it back
Chorus:
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I’m gone!
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone
Will you recognize me, when I’m stealing from the poor?
You’re not gonna like me, I’m nothing like before
Will you recognize me, when I lose another friend?
Will you learn to leave me, or give me one more try again?
Chorus:
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I’m gone!
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone

Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
You say that you’re away, I try but always break
Cause the day always lasts too long
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone
Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone
