They are capturing the sanctity of being with your loved ones and making the most of each moment here on Earth. At one moment, I felt a little sad that they were singing about death or loss. When they sing lines like really doesn’t matter cause I’m staying here with you, you feel that energy and synergy. You don’t feel like the dramatism is in the backing music, but rather it’s in the collaborating voices. I loved how the rhythm of this song, including the bass, is so tight. The patient drum work in this song falls ever-so perfectly into place. “Heave Is A Place Like This” exudes love and authenticity and is a follow-up to their well-received “Home”. Afterall, music crosses continents and language barriers. Though they don’t sing in German, this song has the potential to be a worldwide hit. The band, which is Stephanie Hertel, Lanny Lanner and Johanna Mross, have a multi-generational and multi-cultural appeal. This song is the perfect vehicle for a band like More Than Words to convey their art. They are each distinct, but just like most families can attest to, individually they are excellent, but together their voices make the most impact. What makes this trio, a self-described family patchwork, stand out? A few things really. In a category all its own, this one’s a keeper. Now that I have you distracted with other tunes, please turn your attention to Germany’s (English version) of their song, “Heaven Is A Place Like This”. Heaven is a storied place for songwriters and pop music has especially given us many gifts surrounding the subject – from Bryan Adams’ “Heaven”, to Warrant’s “Heaven” and of course Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven Is A Place On Earth” –the list goes on and on. When I first saw that the title of the new More Than Words single was “Heaven Is A Place Like This” I couldn’t help but distract myself with other songs with the similar lyrical content.
