A mixture of ethereal electronic beats with Gaelic harp, vocalist/harpist Emer Kenny was born in Dublin, from College of Music in Dublin and the Trinity College of Music in London, Kenny became involved in writing music for Dublins live theaters. Appearances on television attracted the attention of Dublins media and eventually the U.K. branch of the Mercury label. They issued her self-titled debut in 1997 with guest spots from Secret Garden violinist Fionnuala Sherry and original Chieftains percussionist Peadar Mercier. Her version of the Stranglers "Golden Brown" drew much airplay and attention, while the albums "Heaven" became the soundtrack to television commercials on both sides of the Atlantic and stormed up worldwide dance charts.

Lyrics:

Title : Heaven

Heaven is of the earth

Heaven is of the sea

Heaven is you and me

Heaven, Heaven, Heaven

If only we could see

Heavens dream is here

Would we spoil Heaven

With greed and with fear

Heaven, Heaven, Heaven

Heaven is of the earth

Heaven is you and me

Heaven is here

If only we could see
