Heaven was the Icelandic entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, performed in English by Jónsi.
Composed by Sveinn Rúnar Sigurðsson and written by Magnús Thor Sigmundsson, the song is a dramatic ballad. Unusually, the lyrics do not contain the title anywhere within them. The lyrics themselves are somewhat elliptical, with Jónsi singing that he misses his lover and wants her to return to him. Exactly who has left whom and why is open to some interpretation, as he sings both "And when you set sail, fair winds all the way/So farewell, that's all I can say" and "This journey I must take alone". The theme of colour is also present in the lyrics, with Jónsi pleading with his lover to "blend with my blue, the colours of you" and telling her that "I still miss you and it makes me feel blue/And I'm lost without those colours of you". In contrast to the elaborate dance routines of the modern Contest, the song was performed on an empty stage by Jónsi himself wearing a white jacket and dark shirt. Australian commentator Des Mangan referred to the singer as wearing "the fourth white suit of the evening". Mangan had also, during the preview shows leading up to the Contest, referred to Jónsi in a broad Australian accent as "Jonesy" (he claimed during commentary that he had told the singer that this would be his name if he were Australian). Thus, after the performance was finished, Mangan continued this reference with the line "Jonesy you legend".
As Iceland had finished the 2003 Contest in the top ten, the song was pre-qualified for the final. Here, it was performed seventeenth (following Greece's Sakis Rouvas with Shake It and preceding Ireland's Chris Doran with If My World Stopped Turning). At the close of voting, it had received 16 points, placing 19th in a field of 24 - thus forcing Iceland to qualify from the semi-final at their next Contest appearance.
It was succeeded as Icelandic representative at the 2005 Contest by Selma with If I Had Your Love.
"Heaven" is the second single off John Legend's second album, Once Again.
The song has two music videos, the first one featuring women posed as various Renaissance era paintings. The second one features more John Legend himself and less posture women. Both videos were shot at Highclere Castle in the UK and was directed by Hype Williams.
The song samples Monk Higgins' "Heaven Only Knows" and singer Faith Evans provides background vocals.
The remix of the song, released to the iTunes Store on February 6, features Pusha T of the Clipse. The special EP also features the acapella version of the remix, the album version and the instrumental of "Heaven".
"Heaven" was the second consecutive John Legend song that was released as a download only single in the UK. Chart rules at the time stated that if no physical format was available, a single would not be able to chart. This is why "Heaven" became John Legend's second single in a row unable to chart in the UK.
Legend was awarded a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance on this song.

Heaven is a song by the American New Wave band Talking Heads. It explores the idea of achievement and purpose by way of identifying heaven as the perfect victory over human goals, and, subsequently, by showing this heaven as a place where the perfectly best thing happens over and over at the exact same time in the exactly perfect way ("Oh, heaven, heaven is a place... a place where nothing ever happens".) In this way, it mocks achievement as an absurd, or even futile, struggle.
