美國重金屬樂團［搜捕令］成名曲／代表作──華麗金屬──［Heaven／天堂］

Got a picture of your house
And youre standing by the door
Its black and white and faded
And its looking pretty worn
See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back
The memories are gray, but man, theyre really coming back

I dont need to be the king of the world
As long as Im the hero of this little girl

Heaven isnt too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say
Well find our way

How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
Theres a color deep inside them
Like blue suburban sky
When I come home late at night
And youre in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe

I dont need to be a superman, no, no
As long as you will always be my biggest fan

Heaven isnt too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say
Well find our way, yeah

Now the lights are going out
Along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard
Ive got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I dont know what to do
But Im never giving up on you

Heaven isnt too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends say
I know its gonna find a way

Heaven
Whoa-whoa-oh
Heaven
Whoa-whoa-oh

Heaven
Its not too far away, have hope
Yeah, yeah
Its not too far away, its not too far away
Its not too far away, its not too far away

 

１９８４年成立於洛杉磯的搜捕令（Warrant）是美國華麗重金屬樂團．

１９８９年１月底，搜捕令（Warrant）推出首張大碟［Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich／骯髒、腐爛、污穢、臭氣沖天的富人］（Columbia唱片發行）

由Beau Hill製作．

專輯的音樂風格是20世紀80年代日落大道（sunset strip）華麗金屬樂的典型代表，以厚重的吉他和旋律優美、朗朗上口的副歌為特色。

 

 

首支單曲［Down Boys］登上美國告示牌單曲榜＃２７．

１９８９年７月，搜捕令推出第二單曲［Heaven／天堂］

由主唱Jani Lane創作，Beau Hill製作將其製作成一首華麗金屬／抒情搖滾曲，

旋律悅耳，Jani Lane的詮釋深情動人．

 

［Heaven］登上美國告示牌單曲榜＃２，讓樂團一舉成名（1989年榜#15）－－金唱片（５０萬張＋）

分榜──主流搖滾榜＃３（1989年榜#22）

加拿大RPM單曲榜＃５（1989年榜#34）－－金唱片（５萬張＋）

挪威＃４　英國＃９３

澳洲＃５４．

這是搜捕令事業最成功的單曲．

 

［Heaven］的成功讓搜捕令所屬的哥倫比亞唱片公司感到驚訝。事實上，當這首歌的廣泛流行度顯現出來後，樂團被要求重新錄製這首歌，以使其更具「電台播放效果」。唱片的前25萬張收錄的是原版，而之後的唱片則收錄新版本［Heaven］。

 

單曲的成功讓大碟［Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich］暢銷，登上美國告示牌專輯榜＃１０，取得二白金唱片（２００萬張＋）

加拿大＃１０──白金唱片（１０萬張＋）

澳洲＃７２．
