Weekend Playlist: Heaven

Weekend Playlist: Heaven

Here's the weekend playlist created by Ian with help from guest curator Charlie looking at X/twitter selections (18/04/2025) with Songs that reference Heaven.
This was inspired by the fact it's Easter (when Jesus died, resurrected and eventually ascended to Heaven) and the release of Eternal's Just a step from Heaven on this day in 1994.
