"Heaven Sent" is the first single by INXS taken from their eighth studio album Welcome to Wherever You Are. It was released only in Europe, Japan and Australia. The song was written by Andrew Farriss who explained on the liner notes of the 1992 remaster: "Originally I wrote the song as a 3/4ballad. The band heard it and rocked it up to make it the recording it became. The vocal effect helped give the track some extra attitude."
B-sides
The b-sides included two solo compositions from Andrew Farriss; "It Ain't Easy", and Tim Farriss; "11th Revolution" as well as, "Deepest Red", a full band outtake from the X album written by Michael Hutchence and Jon Farriss. The 12" picture disc (UK) and also the Australian CD5 single included a demo version of "Heaven Sent (Gliding version)" instead of "Deepest Red".
The title track, over sixty minutes long, was a live recording for a radio broadcast on Radio 5 VPRO's De Avonden. The other nine tracks on the album are one-minute tracks.
"Heaven Sent" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Esthero. It was released as first official (second overall) single from her debut album Breath from Another and being classified as the Billboard Hot Dance Breakout number four for the category of Maxi-Singles Sales. Track "Breath from Another" was released as second A-side on CD. "Heaven Sent" is a "jazzy, lounge" trip-hop song which switches to rock at the chorus.
The Observer called the song a "neo-murder ballad". Song was featured on the VH1 show Breaking Bonaduce.
Music video
The haunting music video for the single was filmed on June 1998 and released next month. It was heavily influenced by Luis Buñuel avant-garde silent movie Un Chien Andalou starring Salvador Dalí and hasn't any plot. It was directed by Phil Harder. The video received little airplay on MTV in August 1998.
