"Heaven Is Here" is the second single and ninth track from Florence and the Machine’s fifth studio album Dance Fever.
Background[]
Florence announced Heaven Is Here as the second single off the album on march 6, 2022, with the song being released with a music video the following day.[1]
In the instagram post Florence explained that the song was the first song she wrote in lockdown after an extended period of not being able to go to the studio. She wanted to make something “monstrous” and said that this “clamour of joy, fury and grief was the first thing that came out.”
She created this song with contemporary dance in mind, as the dance studios were shut and it was her dream to one day create choreography with it.
Lyrics[]
Oh, bring your salt, bring your cigarette
Draw me a circle and I'll protect
Heaven is here if you want it
Oh, bring your, boy, bring your bottle
Open your mouth, pour it down his neck
Heaven is here if you want it
And all of the fish, let them flounder
I went to the water, drank every drop
I'll turn your sea to a desert
More catholic taste than the Devil
All gilded and golden, yes, I'm your girl
Hell, if it glitters, I'm going
And I ride in my red dress
And time stretchеs endless
With my gun in my hand
You know I always get my man
And еvery song I wrote became an escape rope
Tied around my neck to pull me up to Heaven
