Gordi ‘Heaven, I Know’ is a powerful and deeply touching song, with an absolutely gorgeous arrangement. The haunting melody is reinforced by simple yet strong instrumentation, with a feeling of spaciousness and introspection. With every note, Gordi’s voice at once delicate and commanding, delivers deep emotional truths. Its slow build-up ultimately leads to a riveting crescendo, moving but also deeply satisfying. Lyrically, ‘Heaven I Know’ deals with themes of loss and the process of change, approached with a poetic objectivity which is at once personal and shared. Gordi’s combination of folk sensibilities and experimental soundscapes is in full swing on this track, which is at once cutting-edge and deeply moving.
