Former Sunshine blind frontwoman Caroline Blind asked herself this very question before recording her acoustic version of Rey Lorry Yellow Lorry’s 1989 track “Heaven”, where she teamed up with guitarist David Wolfenden of the classic post-punk band for a remake of one of his most memorable songs.
The pair also recruited Blind’s longtime collaborator Rich W., guitarist of The Wake, and Switchblade Symphony’s George Earth. “Heaven” is the third single off her upcoming album, The Spell Between, due out in February 2020.
“The chance to revisit the music you loved growing up is always a pleasure. It brings back all the memories you associate with a certain song; a certain time, a place, a person… it can be uplifting, devastating, or bittersweet. The experiences you’ve had with a song over the years grow and change like any relationship… New perspectives are seen, new memories formed, forming a bigger picture, and maybe eventually, even coming full circle.” – Caroline Blind
