Postcards From Heaven

Product Information

The three big hit singles show them at their best and demonstrate at least some diversity within their admittedly narrow range of operation, “Raincloud” cheekily reworks the 70’s disco-groove of the old John Paul Young hit “Love Is In The Air” to paradoxically sunny effect, “High” sees them recreating the lush gospel feel of their best known song “Lifted” with its spiritual undertone and evangelical choir while “Lost In Space” is a stand-out, spaced-out, almost trippy ballad which even borrows a little from 60’s psychedelia for effect.

The lead single, "Lifted", received airplay on BBC Radio One as well as a number of BBC Local Radio stations, and The Chart Show aired its music video. [2] Still, this did not translate to considerable single or album sales within 1995; it was not until "Lifted" was re-released in 1996 that it reached the top five on the UK Singles Chart, and Ocean Drive, which had been deleted, rebounded and was certified six-times platinum by the end of 1997, spending 154 weeks on the UK Albums Chart in the process. [1] Its follow-up Postcards from Heaven achieved similar sales status in 1997. It featured the hit single " High" (number four in the UK) with the music video filmed in North East England and featuring Newcastle's Tyne Bridge. [3]

It also reached #91 in the Eurochart Hot 100 but it only stayed in the charts for 1 week. It took about eight months to write the song. When we did Ocean Drive there was no pressure, we hadn't sold any records so nobody was expecting anything, whereas when we got to the second album which is what this was, there were a lot of people who were saying, 'this is huge, this is massive, this is the hit on the record.' And I hadn't even finished writing it, so immediately I'm under this enormous pressure. Ultratop.be – Lighthouse Family – Postcards From Heaven" (in French). Hung Medien. Retrieved 1 April 2021.

High was probably the most difficult song to write of all of them. Without getting too heavy, my wife lost a baby on New Year's Eve in 1996, the year that the album [ Ocean Drive] was a hit. Lifted was a hit and Ocean Drive was a hit. It was the first week in 1997 I started writing High, and I had the bit: 'One day we're gonna get so high'. That was the same week – and this is absolutely incidental, it’s nothing to do with the song - although a Newcastle United fan might think it is – that Kevin Keegan left Newcastle United. I just remember that week so well because of what happened.Gold-/Platin-Datenbank (Lighthouse Family; 'Postcards from Heaven ')" (in German). Bundesverband Musikindustrie .
