In “Heaven Is Empty”, Aldous Harding expresses a lack of belief in the afterlife, doubting that there is anything after death. The track frequently often performed by Harding during her tour in support of the previous album, Party, including a performance at the 2018 WOMAD Festival in New Zealand.
...
[Verse 1]
Heaven is empty
Nobody's there
I brought my camera
It stayed in its bag
People ask me all the time what I want
The answer is one
Heaven is empty
[Verse 2]
Unconditional love
A crane at the top of the lake
I’ll hang like Jesus
On my pulling bed
Heaven is empty
[Verse 3]
If a big cold bird tried to bring me a baby
I feel I would get on his back
Kissing his neck
Breathe in and out
Kissing the doubt
And whisper softly
I don't want entry
That place is empty
