Heart Like A Sky es un álbum de Spandau Ballet, publicado en 1989 por CBS. El disco incluye 9 canciones, entre ellas «Be Free With Your Love», «Crashed Into Love», «Big Feeling» y «A Matter Of Time».
Sobre el álbum
El álbum Heart Like A Sky representa el final de la primera y más exitosa etapa de la banda. Lanzado en un momento en que las relaciones internas estaban gravemente deterioradas, el disco sufrió de una falta de cohesión y de una promoción casi inexistente. Fue un fracaso comercial, especialmente en el Reino Unido, y ni siquiera llegó a publicarse en Estados Unidos. Es a menudo el trabajo más olvidado de su discografía.
Pese a su accidentada historia, el álbum contiene momentos de calidad. La banda intentó fusionar su sonido pop con elementos de la música latina y el rock sinfónico. Por ejemplo, en canciones como "Be Free with Your Love" y "Raw", se puede apreciar el intento de crear un sonido grandilocuente. Sin embargo, la producción, muy marcada por los estándares de finales de los 80, ha envejecido peor que la de sus discos clásicos.
En última instancia, "Heart Like A Sky" es el testimonio sonoro de una banda en proceso de desintegración. Poco después de su lanzamiento, el grupo se separaría, dando inicio a un largo periodo de inactividad y disputas legales. No obstante, la historia de Spandau Ballet tendría, afortunadamente, un nuevo capítulo muchos años después.

Letra
Be free with your love Free with your love Be free with your love Free with your love Two young babes in a foreign land Draw no milk from the dusty sand Close heir eyes from the night so cold Feel the love in their mothers hold Two old men on their different shores Stretch the world with their tug of war Tension pulls on a tightening cord Spread your love over Mans discord Life's your reward So sing it to your Lord Be free with your love Free with your love Be free with your love Free with your love Science stands on threshold of life Man could be cut by a blow of its knife Time to live by a new resolution In the spirit of loves evolution Two young girls shining in the sun Feel your pain but they dance for everyone Beauty lives in their innocent glow Things so dear should be free to let grow So let your heart flow And sing it to your soul Be free with your love Free with your love Now baby, be free wih your love Free with your love Be free with your love Free with your love Now baby, be free wih your love Free with your love Be free with your love Free with your love Be free with your love Free with your love Be free with your love Free with your love Be free with your love Free with your love Be free with your love Free with your love Be free with your love Free with your love ... - Crashed Into Love4:43
Letra
We stand alone Warmed by the light that reflects in your eyes I feel inside an emotional storm And a heart like a sky This moment takes to somewhere unknown And what I'm feeling is thrilled to the bone Been chasing rainbows all of my life Now I know that was wrong I've found the gold deep in my soul And I want to hang on Just one look of encouragement And what I have here is heaven sent And hit from above I just crashed into love, crashed into love And I'm feeling that when powers inside When forces collide, this can't be denied And now it hits me, love overdrive I try to stand my ground but I can't contrive These are the days that we'll think that we dreamed For the rest of our lives This moment takes to somewhere unknown And what I'm feeling is thrilled to the bone And hit from above I just crashed into love, crashed into love And I'm feeling that when powers inside When forces collide, this can't be denied I just crashed into love, crashed into love And I know that I was hit by surprise Between open eyes, emotions arise And now we're living the June of our lives In the heat of the day We're on the eve of experience now And nothing will take away Crashed into love Crashed into love Just one look of encouragement And what I have here is heaven sent And sent from above I just crashed into love, crashed into love And I'm feeling that when powers inside When forces collide, this can't be denied I just crashed into love, crashed into love And I know that I was hit by surprise Between open eyes, emotions arise I just crashed into love - Big Feeling3:47
Letra
Big feeling Come next September I'll be out upon the road again And there'll be times when I can hardly even say your name But now we're sticking to the sheets and I can't sleep tonight And like a dream love we're moving into light Oh, I feel like this is warning And oh I feel like ten feet tall And don't ever let me down Don't ever let me down Big feeling Oh it's getting hard to hide Big feeling Like a river running wide You are my thunder And there's lighting here inside Oh come on, darling now day has turned it's time for home I won't forget that night we slept out on the beach alone Now the sun has come to take the moon and light the sky Wave over me flow over me Oh, I feel like this is warning And oh I feel like ten feet tall And don't ever let me down Don't ever let me down Big feeling Oh, it's getting hard to hide Big feeling Like a river running wide You are my thunder And there's lighting here inside (Lighting here inside) Feeling inside Don't ever let me down Don't ever let me down Don't ever let me down Big feeling Oh, it's getting hard to hide Big feeling Like a river running wide You are my thunder And there's lighting here inside Big feeling Oh come on darling, now day has turned it's time for home Big feeling I won't forget that night we slept out on the beach alone You are my thunder And there's lighting here inside Lighting here inside - A Matter Of Time5:15
Letra
He lays alone cries on his own For horizons that he'll never reach And all of those dreams are washed on the beach She's drowning in oceans of shackled emotions Going round and around in her head While out on the streets people forget That it's love you want Love you want Love you want She speaks of hoping, he speaks of fighting And tells her that they will come through 'Cause he wants to feel the shock of the new People that hurt you and they burn you With acid the falls that falls from the sky And out of the silence your voice says why? If it's love you want Love you want Love you want It's a matter of time, a matter of time But you're asking why, oh, life makes you cry? Turn moss into roses and blood into wine It's a matter of time, a matter of time But all of your past still plays on your mind And maybe tomorrow you'll live by design It's a matter of time This isn't giving this isn't living Ooh, just days that pull you apart And tears turn to rust that fall on still hearts So swallow your maybes and cradle your babies Tell them that they will come through Their gonna feel the shock of the new And if it's love you want Love you want Love you want It's a matter of time, a matter of time But you're asking why, oh, life makes you cry? Turn moss into roses and blood into wine It's a matter of time, a matter of time But all of your past still plays on your mind And maybe tomorrow you'll live by design It's a matter of time A matter of time, a matter of time A matter of time, a matter of time A matter of time, a matter of time A matter of time, a matter of time - Motivator4:00
Letra
I can make you feel so good hold me by the arm I can take your speckles of sweetness and turn them into stars I can make your dreams so real just think what we could do oh I could be your messiah and I'll take you higher and maybe I won't stop till I do 'cos I'm your motivator I'm behind everything you do yes I'm your motivator if your heart is thumping I can give you something feel me with the crack of my whip. I will be your inspiration movin' in your soul I'll be your little bit of muscle and move and take control I can be just simple persuasion so take me as your guide but when your mind is cooking remember who's looking 'cos baby I'm that something inside 'cos I'm your motivator I'm behind everything you do yes I'm your motivator if your head is reeling get off on this feeling hold me now and shoot from the hip. Do do do you give something something I need. - Raw3:47
Letra
I've been running 'round town for a new identity I've been dreaming hot dreams of insecurity I've been chasing my heart through the streets of my mind I've been clinging to the bed the sweat is turning me blind Well, I'm plugged all the holes and sealing all the cracks I'm like a galvanized nerve, I just can't seem to relax She's got fire on her breath and chilly on her lips Teeth around her neck and she's got jazz on her hips There's a flash in my brain like a shot from above It's a strange idea of love Like a wolf at the door, like a scratch of a claw She says, "Come on, baby, I want it raw" A wolf at the door, a scratch of a claw "I want it raw" Well, I'm driving out of town, I'm on the verge of a storm I'm sucking my St. Christopher and trying to keep calm A mambo mama on the back of my heels And this incantation can trap my wheels There's a heat in my car, there's a fog on my screen I've never felt so scared, never dreamt such a dream There's a man on the corner preaching fire above It's a strange idea of love Like a wolf at the door, like a scratch of a claw She says, "Come on, baby, I want it raw!" A wolf at the door, a scratch of a claw "I want it raw" - Empty Spaces3:57
Letra
Once there were times, love when we could touch the air between And out across this room we'd fill the space with all our skins And if we just touch hands, life would shine with electric dreams No matter how many miles, nothing hurt long distance hearts And there was always something there that space could never keep apart But now I know inside that something's died When we're apart, all we have are empty spaces It's not like we're building walls, too hard to climb to make us blind It's just so much numbing space to hollow out the heart and mind And I can hear echoes of ghosts of love, we left behind I'll always love April, we fell in love and we planted seeds And now we walk through fallen trees and leaves are crushed beneath And I will always live in autumn Now we're agreed, all we have are empty spaces I thought this was meant to be our love had an energy But only as time evolved and all of our strength dissolved And we'll never feel the flame that burned so naked again I walk through Kentish Town and all the rain, rain pouring down So many people here but space like this I've never found And as I get back home and step inside I realize, all I have, all I have are empty spaces - Windy Town4:22
Letra
There's gotta be something more to this life we're given Gotta be peace o' mind and a piece o' living When the losers have won and the damage is done Only then will you be saved She dancing on thin ice while her mind is skating He's building on the dust that is suffocating And a baby that cries in a city of lies For a freedom that is craved High will you fly tonight In dreams you can hold this tight But when will love blow round When will love blow all through Windy Town Sunny had a street that she couldn't live in Sunny had a room that she couldn't breath in But a heart that could feel and a hand that could heal And a passion filled with rage I never felt the air with a wind of change I only felt a storm with a wind and rain A city so deep, a soul without sleep And a heart that's filled with pain High will you fly tonight In dreams you can hold this tight But when will love blow round When will love blow all through Windy Town Look out on a million dreams There's fire in all those schemes I feel the burn of investigation Love will be your inspiration Baby, lets go again On me and you it all depends The power of love is a powerful friend And I will love you till the end High will you fly tonight In dreams you can hold this tight But when will love blow round When will love blow around When will love blow all through Windy Town Baby, through Windy Town - A Handful Of Dust4:54
Letra
Your pressed your face against my heart I felt that you could look right through me We live in days that have no time We live in times that now refuse me And somewhere out beyond his town There lies a world that now can turn us round And we need it and we need it Oh, got to have some thing to believe in I've got enough to believe in you What can I give just to know that it's true? But I've gotta begin to say Now they've taken my pride in this way How can you give me your love? I just can't give you enough How can you give me your trust, ooh hoo With a handful of dust? I feel to thin before your eyes I feel so naked under open skies I once stood tall within this town But now the time has come to bring us down We must have more with his power in hand We must believe things will go as we planned But I've gotta begin to say Now they've taken my pride in this way How can you give me your love? I just can't give you enough How can you give me your trust, ooh hoo With a handful of dust, with a handful of dust ? Making love through electric skies Now I know where my fortune lies Breathe the air and feel this land 'Cause it's slipping through me like dust from my hand How can you give me your love? I just can't give you enough How can you give me your trust, ooh hoo With a handful of dust? (How can you give me your love?) I just can't give you enough How can you give me your trust, ooh hoo With a handful of dust? (How can you give me your love?) How can you give me your love? Now give me your love (How can you give me your trust) Ooh hoo, hey, with a handful of dust? (How can you give me your love?) Give me (How can you give me your trust)
