Nineties Revisited: Heaven Coming Down


Original video located here. Accessed 5th September 2021

Song title: Heaven Coming Down

Artist: Tea Party

Year: 1999

Why I like this song:

We are in the presence of royalty here: These guys were a very important band during my late teens.
First: they could rock hard.
Second: They were a goth rock band and represented a seductive hand to the dark side of music.
Third: They used a variety of exotic instruments and piqued my interest in world music.
Fourth: they were the first live band I ever saw.
And Fifth, and most crucially of all, they were a method of bonding with a group of goths I was hanging around with at the time - and whom I became good friends with.

As for the song itself, it's majestic in every sense of the word and is hand down the Tea Party at their best.
