About Too Much of Heaven

"Too Much of Heaven" is a song written by Italian dance group Eiffel 65 and the second official single from their first album Europop. The single was originally released in Italy on 11 May 1999. It was later released in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and in several European countries in March 2000. "Too Much of Heaven", peaked at number 20 for 9 weeks on the Eurochart Hot 100. This was the last Eiffel 65 song to peak at number 1 on the Italian singles chart, and a top 10 hit in France and top 25 in Switzerland. The song is about the downsides of being too greedy. It has been described as possibly "the very first example of rapping through Auto-Tune", although without much influence on hip-hop in general.

Too much of heaven,
Can bring you underground
Heaven, can always turn around.
Too much of heaven,
A life and soul hell bound.
Heaven, the killer makes no sound.

They're still talking about money,
That's right and too much of heaven.
C'mon my friend.

Let me tell you what it's all about,
It's called money dependence today,
And people just keep on going on
Looking at the dollar bill,
And nothing else around them.
No love, no friendship, nothing else,
Just the dollar bill coming on into their pocket,
Into their account,
And that's too much of heaven
Bringing them underground.
Let me tell you what it's all about
It's called money dependence today,
And people just keep on going on
Looking at the dollar bill,
And nothing else around them.
No love, no friendship, nothing else,
Just the dollar bill coming on into their pocket,
Into their account,

The answer,
Is blowing in the wind.
The answer is blowing.

Oh let me tell you what it's all about.
Too much of heaven bring you underground

Eiffel 65

Eiffel 65 is an Italian three-piece Eurodance group formed in 1998 and best known for pioneering in pitch correction and Auto-Tune, and for their international hit "Blue (Da Ba Dee)". Their other hit singles include "Move Your Body" and "Too Much of Heaven", all of which appeared on their album Europop, released in late 1999. The name "Eiffel" was chosen randomly by a computer program and the "65" was scribbled onto their name on a demo by mistake; it was actually part of a phone number. more »
