444 - Heaven Is A Place On Earth - The CoverUp

A song that reestablishes a seasoned and successful artist as a new kind of force, and a cover that embraces musical complexity in a brilliant but subtle way. Heaven Is A Place On Earth, originally by Belinda Carlisle, covered by The Mayries.

Outro music is I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me), by Whitney Houston, because this song is inevitable.
