There’s something beautifully timeless about ‘Heaven Knows’, a song Henri Gaston wrote some time ago that feels every bit as relevant now. Built around a gorgeous, understated melody, it gives his soulful voice plenty of room to shine, with an impressive range that adds real depth and feeling to the song. A Yorkshire singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Gaston has a natural musicality that comes through in every detail, particularly the rich harmonies and layered backing vocals that give the track a warm, almost gospel-tinged lift.

Lyrically, ‘Heaven Knows’ sits in that uncertain space between faith and doubt: not knowing exactly where the road is leading, but trusting that it’s heading in the right direction. There’s vulnerability in admitting to having lost his way, balanced by a quiet determination to keep moving forward. It’s soulful, melodic and deeply reassuring without overplaying its hand.
