Eitzel told ''Puncture'', "It's meant to be an uplifting song. I respect country songs which can be about the saddest things - even though they don't describe them very well - and they're happy! I wanted 'Heaven' to be like that. I just kept obsessing about how pathetic it is when there's no other heaven than in someone's hands, it's a real drag..."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://americanmusicclub.com/index.php?title=Articles:Puncture_-_February_1990 | work=Puncture | date=February 1990 | author=Steve Connell | title=American Music Club | accessdate=March 27, 2018}}</ref> | Eitzel told ''Puncture'', "It's meant to be an uplifting song.

He also told ''Melody Maker'', "In 'Heaven Of Your Hands', I’m singing about listening to the radio at 4am, and there’s that one famous song that goes, 'I’ve grown accustomed to your face'.

I just like that stuff, gives me a kick."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://americanmusicclub.com/index.php?title=Articles:Melody_Maker_-_December_2,_1989 | work=Melody Maker | date=December 2, 1989 | author= | title=Mark Eitzel | accessdate=March 27, 2018}}</ref> | |||
