Los Angeles doom-wop/indie rock band Rubaiyat (lead by singer/songwriter Joel Carl Heinrich) have dropped a lyric video for their latest single "Heaven".
“Heaven” is a song about longing in that moment one feels when they click with someone unexpectedly. There is a joyful exuberance in Joel’s lyrics as he sings ‘I cannot believe my luck/ I found a new friend” and continues into a Lynchian chorus where he laments the impermanence of life and cries out “I want to die/So we can go to Heaven/ There’s nothing bad in Heaven” as if he could lock away this moment in time and extend his euphoria with death. The song itself is an almost satirical take on the idea of an afterlife; “Heaven” both celebrates the joy of finding someone you can love and purports the notion that nothing good ever happens on earth so get out before it all falls apart.
