‘Heaven’ was written after Los Lonely Boys guitarist Henry Garza’s baby son died from SIDS. Henry was only 18.

As he said in an interview with San Antonio News Express “That was the biggest turning point of my life. Those first couple of years I was just searching. It was either up or down for me. That was the biggest experience of my life, man. I found the Lord Jesus through that experience.”

In an interview on NPR Radio, Henry said “It laid a big impact upon our whole family. And I think it gave us a lot more strength and appreciation towards life and each other – even more. And the music, on top of that, just got even more real and more sincere. Just like when I played a note, I was actually crying behind that note.”
