Background of Singer & Song
Heaven is published in 1997, writtened by Tengri in memories of his homeland - Etuoke, Mongolia.
Tengri grew up in a very poor family. He remembered they can't even afford candles, so they depends much on mothernature.
As he migrates to the big cities of China to pursue music after he grew up, he watched his hometown develops into a city. It broke his heart to watch trees getting cut down and grassland being turned into roads. Tengri wrote this song in memory of the homeland he remembers.
Tengri's name means "blue sky" in Mogolian, he later named his daughter "mother earth" when she was born 2004. Sadly she passed away 6 years later. He then announced he is not able to sing again.
This is the first time Tengri sang this song again, for his beautiful hometown and his daughter.
