"Heaven" led Live into their 2003 album Birds of Pray, an Ed Kowalczyk song, words and music, produced by Jim Wirt and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge. It's big, earnest and built to carry, the band aiming straight for the rafters.
In America it never got a proper CD single, only a download, yet it still scraped onto the Billboard Hot 100 at 59 and hit 33 on both the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts, while Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Belgium took it to heart. The first video, shot in Iceland, follows two kids on opposite banks of a river who get swept toward a waterfall trying to reach each other. It was later swapped for a hard-charging performance clip of the four members filmed in Brussels.
