In 1980, a german cover named "Der Weg in die Ferne" was recorded by Joachim Witt for his album Silberblick. The song was covered by Eric Burdon on his 2004 album My Secret Life and in 1985 by Simply Red for their album Picture Book. In 1996 the song was covered by Jimmy Scott who also made it the title track of his album, Heaven. ĭave Bell, writing for quarterly UK magazine Ceasefire, argued that the song "epitomises pop as Samuel Beckett might write it: tedious, beautiful and desperate". The song has been called "the calm after their unusual ominous storm" by AllMusic as well as something "psychologists would certainly have a field day with" by author and The Guardian journalist Ian Gittins. The lyrics refer to heaven as a "place where nothing ever happens", and describe a bar, a party, and a kiss. It was also featured as the second song in Talking Heads' 1984 concert film, Stop Making Sense. " Heaven" is a song by the American new wave band Talking Heads from their 1979 album Fear of Music.
