INTRODUCTION

This document lists all songs by Bermudian singer Heather Nova and all released or promotional, studio or live versions of these songs, with background info to each song, if possible. Since most of Heather Nova's songs are distributed on her own records anyway, we list Heather Nova's own releases unless a song or a special version can only be found on a promo, or a compilation. Samplers with Heather's music are not listed, if the recording can be easily found on one of her own releases, too.

For more detailed information about Heather Nova's records, please visit the Heather Nova Discography.

The main sources for this song list are the discography, the closed Heather Nova Mailinglist, the official heathernova.com magazine (formerly Heather Nova Newsletter), the German Heathernova.de, the International Heather Nova Network, some very nice people and of course our CD collections. :-) Many, many thanks to Heather Nova and Felix Tod for their encouragement! Special thanks to Michael Weigand, who run this Song List for almost a decade, and I will continue his work.

For information about her promo CDs see [1], for bootlegs, see [2]. Notes about the Mishka songs at [10], the ATB songs at [11], her work for the Afro Celt Sound System at [12], the duet with Eskobar at [13], her collaboration with Bløf at [14], her work for Cold City Rockers at [15], her work with Sandy Dillon at [16], her work with Berit Fridahl at [17], the DJ mix of her song "Aquamarine" by Chris Coco at [18], and her work with Mensano at [19]. Information about her "Sorrowjoy" poems (released on book and on audio CD) is given at [21]. Since this is a songlist, and not a full discography, we list only compilations which feature a recording that is not available on Heather's regular releases. This means that we leave out especially samplers and soundtracks with already well-known live or studio recordings by Heather, even if the compilations were very popular and sold a lot of copies.

4:01 Verona
3:39 Doubled Up

Note: Heather's first studio album "Oyster" was released in Europe (late 1994) soon followed by Australia (March 1995) without Sugar, since this song was not recorded in studio until then. Originally Heather saw "Sugar" just as a live track like "Blessed" as it was released on Blow, and Heather felt it had arrived at its "finished form", so there was no studio version of it. However these plans were changed in 1995, because Heather decided to put "Sugar" at least on the releases in USA/Canada (summer 1995) and Japan (fall 1995).

Furthermore, the 1994 European and the 1995 Australian release of Oyster both contain a short "yes/no" track between "Verona" and "Doubled Up" that does not appear on the US or Japanese releases. This audio piece had been used at concerts since then. The track display of the European release lists this track as part of Doubled Up (intro, total song length 4:13) while the Australian release lists it as part of Verona (outro, total song length 4:33).

A new European re-release of Oyster is on the market since 1998 replacing the 1994 Oyster, with Sugar, but without the "yes/no" track.

[ SIREN ]

1998 - Siren

3:52 London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do)
3:59 Blood Of Me
3:58 Heart And Shoulder
4:46 What A Feeling
4:20 Valley Of Sound
5:23 I'm The Girl

4:18 Widescreen
3:28 Paper Cup
4:07 Avalanche
4:56 Make You Mine
4:05 Ruby Red
5:04 Not Only Human

Note: The song "London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do)" is named in France "Keep Me (London Rain)".

A limited edition of Siren had been released in a digipak with two bonus tracks at the German record chain store "WOM". The bonus tracks at the end are "Water From Wine" and "London Rain (acoustic)". Between song 14 "Not Only Human" and song 15 "Water From Wine" is three minute silence (as an outro of Not Only Human, overall length 8:07).

The Japanese Siren has at the end the three bonus tracks "Grow Young", "Water From Wine", and "London Rain (acoustic). Between song 14 "Not Only Human" and song 15 "Grow Young" is the same three minute silence (as an outro of Not Only Human, overall length 8:09).

In April 1999, a special edition of Siren was released in Australia only as a CDx2 with a bonus CD, containing five "previously unreleased or rare tracks". These five songs are "Grow Young", "Water From Wine" and "London Rain (acoustic)" from the "London Rain" singles, and "Blind" and "Walk This World (acoustic mix)" from the European and Australian "Walk This World" single. This special edition of "Siren" promoted Heather's Australian promotional tour in late April/May 1999.

"Paint The World", "Man In The Ocean", and "Days And Nights" are all "Siren outtakes".

Additionally to all this, there is also an Unmastered Siren CD, where the lenghts of most tracks vary about some seconds compared to the original Siren release. This is due to different duration of pauses between the tracks and some tracks are faded out some seconds earlier or later. Several songs are mixed slightly different or even sometimes an instrument is still missing. "What A Feeling" is named on this CD with its "legal title" Fruit, not with What A Feeling.

Also, there is a Test Pressing Siren CD from mastering. The CD sounds like before it is copied, therefore much better. The actual mixes on the CD are different to the final album in some cases, likely just the vocal levels.

[ LONDON RAIN (NOTHING HEALS ME LIKE YOU DO) / KEEP ME (LONDON RAIN) ]
It seems to be impossible to list ALL official "London Rain" CDs. It is a fact that "London Rain" had been distributed in different countries on one or two CDs. The tracks may vary. Additionally, the song "London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do)" is called "Keep Me (London Rain)" in France, and a "Keep Me (London Rain)" promo CD was already released there.

[ London concerts, early 1993 ]

Two gigs of Heather's UK tour early 1993 were recorded in London at the Mean Fiddler Club and at the Powerhaus. Six songs of the "Mean Fiddler" gig were pressed on Blow (6-tracks): "Sugar", "Maybe An Angel", "Blessed", "Mothertongue", "Talking To Strangers" and "Shaking The Doll". Another three songs now (often promoted with a sticker as "3 extra tracks") from the "Powerhaus", with a slightly different band and the first appearance of Nadia on cello, can be found on Blow (9-tracks) additional to the "Mean Fiddler" songs: "Light Years", "Frontier" and "Doubled Up".

[ Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessies, December 12, 1994 / February 11, 1995 ]

Heather played two times for the program 2 Meter Sessies on Dutch television and radio station VARA. The recording of "Walk This World" on the 2 Meter Sessies, Volume 6 sampler was made on December 12, 1994 in a studio in the small village Nederhorst den Berg (south-east from Amsterdam). The setlist was Walk This World, Heal, Maybe An Angel, My Fidelity. It is with full band, but acoustic. A second acoustic recording was made at the same place on February 11, 1995 with My Fidelity, Walk This World, Maybe An Angel, Heal, Blessed, Doubled Up. At least Walk This World and Maybe An Angel were broadcasted later on Dutch TV. An accident happened there as the cables caught fire by some candles and Maybe An Angel had to be stopped and retried.

[ Amsterdam concert, December 15, 1994 ]

Heather did a gig in Amsterdam at the De Melkweg (= "Milky Way") club.
The tracks from this gig are spread over several CDs.

Here is an overview:

                              Walk This World, USA (Promo)

Walking Higher                Live From The Milky Way

I added Walk This World to the list of Milky Way recordings just because I think that it had been recorded there. There is unfortunately no information about where it had been recorded on the CD. But it sounds equal to the other recordings and at the end the same audience noise with the two guitar strokes had been used that can also be found at the end of "My Fidelity" on the German Maybe An Angel single. The live versions on the Japanese 3-track Walk This World single and on the Walk This World US-promo single are identical. The running time is printed incorrect on the US promo single.

The final words "I spent the day at the Milky Way" can be found after the last song on Live From The Milky Way (Verona) and also after the last song on the UK live EP of Maybe An Angel (My Fidelity).

For more information about the video for Sugar see [9].

[ United Kingdom, BBC radio shows, 1995 ]

There are three BBC Radio 1 Sessions, each with two songs:
- Radio 1 Session # 1: "Maybe An Angel" and "Heal"
- Radio 1 Session # 2: "Walk This World" and "Heal"
- Radio 1 Session # 3: "Maybe An Angel" and "My Fidelity"
Session # 1 is also known as the Johnnie Walker Show from February 4, 1995.
These six songs can be found on the Supernova [# 2] bootleg.

Heather, accompanied by her cellist Nadia Lanman, did an acoustic version of "Maybe An Angel" on the BBC local station Greater London Radio (=GLR) in 1995. You can hear it on the Volume # 13 Compilation and on the Supernova [# 2] bootleg.

Walk This World [#1]   Osaka (Nov 12, 1995)      Maybe An Angel, Japan

Walk This World [#2]   [unknown]                 [only promotional] [1]

Walking Higher         Nagoya (Nov 23, 1995)     Maybe An Angel, Japan
As far as I know, the acoustic versions (just Heather and Nadia) of Maybe An Angel and of the "second" Walk This World can only be found on a rare Japanese "DJ-Promo" CD [1] and are declared there as "live" tracks - likely from the Japanese tour in November 1995. But there is no information about where and when they were recorded.

Maybe An Angel is mixed with an extraordinary echo in the background, which cannot be heard on any other Japanese recordings.

Although the "second" version of Walk This World sounds very similar to the "first" version that can be found on the official Japanese Maybe An Angel single, it is not the same recording. For example it is some seconds longer and Heather's guitar playing after the cello part sounds a bit different.

Heather introduces the song "Like A Hurricane" (only on the Japanese Maybe An Angel) with the words: "This is one I didn't write, but one that I like a lot."

[ Hamburg concert, March 2, 1996 ]

On March 2, 1996, Heather did a promo gig at Hamburg's Knust club. Although it was a gig mainly for the press and only sixty tickets went to the offices, Heather made a wonderful acoustic concert, accompanied only by Nadia on her cello. The full concert was recorded and has already been broadcasted (except the encore "Walking Higher") on German radio station NDR2 on their special live program "Radiokonzert".

All songs (except the last regular song "I'm On Fire", the second half of "Truth And Bone" and the encore) are on the German bootleg Supernova [# 1], which has even some additional live tracks from other concerts. "Truth And Bone" and "I'm On Fire" can be found on the Israeli bootleg Under A Blue Sky, also among with a lot of other tracks from various concerts.

Only the first half of the song Truth And Bone appears on the bootleg Supernova [# 1]. This song was unfortunately faded out on the first radio broadcast (on June 22, 1996) of this gig because of missing time at the same moment...

The live version of Heart And Shoulder had been performed for the first time on the Hamburg concert on March 2, 1996, two years before the album Siren saw the light of day. Not Only Human was the second new song that could have been performed at the same concert, because it was on the written setlist, but Heather played "Ear To The Ground" instead. "Heart And Shoulder" had been performed several times since then, but "Not Only Human" remained unheard until the release of Siren.

For info about the All Of Me tune see [7].

The setlist had these songs on it:
HEAL
THROWING FIRE
ISLAND
HURRICANE
WALK THIS WORLD
* + SHOULDER   (* indicates a drawn heart)
FIDELITY
DOUBLED UP
MAYBE AN ANGEL
-----//-----
EAR 2 THE GROUND / NOT ONLY HUMAN
...
According to a picture I saw, the setlist was written just like above with capital letters.

[ London, MTV Europe's "Hanging Out", April 10, 1996 ]

Heather performed with Nadia on this MTV Europe show an acoustic version of "Island". The bootleggers from Supernova [# 1] put it on their CD.

[ Loreley open air concert, June 22, 1996 ]

The open air concert on the Loreley (near St.Goarshausen, Rhine), Germany, was one of the summer festivals Heather attended in summer 1996. It was a very rainy day, but the rain suddenly stopped as Heather came on stage, so she wore at the beginning a transparent raincoat, but still remained barefoot... She also made some photography of the audience!

Heather performed eight songs, but only five of them were pressed on CD, namely on the German bootleg CD Supernova [# 1]. Missing from the Loreley open air is the first song "Throwing Fire At The Sun" and the last two songs "Blue Black" and "Sugar", which Heather managed to merge into the one great final song of her festival gig. So unfortunately "Blue Black/Sugar" were the best part of the Loreley gig...

This concert was organized by German television station WDR for their programme "Rockpalast", and it was broadcasted since now several times on German TV. It seems that the Rockpalast people (and the audience) liked Heather very much, so she came back at the Loreley festival on June 21, 1998 to promote her new album Siren. Her third Rockpalast appearance was on December 19, 1998 in Düsseldorf, Germany, at the "Van Morrison Christmas Special", and her forth appearance on March, 31, 2002 in Düsseldorf again at the "Easter Rock Night".

[ Loreley open air concert, June 21, 1998 ]

Promoting her album Siren, which was released only three weeks before this gig, Heather attended the WDR Rockpalast Loreley festival in Germany in summer 1998 again. Her first appearance there was 1996, another Rockpalast gigs were in Düsseldorf in December 1998 and March 2002.

The whole concert with nine songs, among these five from Siren, and the remaining four songs from Oyster, are available on the bootleg Under A Blue Sky, most likely taken from the German NDR 2 radio broadcast.

[ Belfort, Les Eurockéennes festival, July 3, 1998 ]

Belfort was the last European gig before the four weeks US tour 1998. Les Eurockéennes is an annual festival in France, not far away from the borders to Switzerland and Germany.

Heather's performance of "Make You Mine" can be heard on the French Les Eurockéennes de Belfort sampler among other artists.

[ Lilith Fair Tour, July 7, 1998 - July 15, 1998 ]

"Lilith Fair - A Celebration of Women in Music" is a North American summer tour exclusively for female artists founded by Canadian musician Sarah McLachlan. Heather participated the tour in July 1998 and from this "Island" was recorded and appears on the sampler Lilith Fair Vol. 2.

It is unfortunately not mentioned of which concert "Island" was taken, but it is one of these gigs:
Date                City/State
------------------------------------------
July  7, 1998       Detroit, MI
July  8, 1998       Detroit, MI

July 11, 1998       Hartford, CT
July 12, 1998       Saratoga Springs, NY
July 13, 1998       Holmdel, NJ

[ San Francisco, KFOG radio station, July 27, 1998 ]

Heather played "London Rain", just with Nadia, on San Francisco's radio station KFOG as an acoustic version during her US tour in summer 1998. It can be found on the KFOG Sampler CD Live From the Archives 5.

[ Boulder, Colorado, KBCO radio station, September 21, 1998 ]

KBCO, an adult contemporary radio station in Boulder, Colorado, pressed another live version of the song "London Rain" on a limited edition CD called KBCO Studio C Volume 10. This CD is comprised of various live performances recorded in KBCO's "Studio C" and was "sold out in less than 30 hours"! In contrast to the London Rain recording from KFOG radio station two months before, Heather played at KBCO with full band.

[ Cologne concert, November 4, 1998 ]

During the famous German tour in fall 1998, the Cologne concert took place in a location called "E-Werk" on November 4, 1998. This gig was recorded and filmed, but it was unfortunately never broadcasted so far. The venue "had good sound", Heather described in an interview for Radio Brume.

14 songs are on the Wonderlust live album. "Widescreen" is only on the German Gloomy Sunday single, and "Make You Mine" is on both discs.

[ Düsseldorf, Van Morrison Christmas Special concert, December 19, 1998 ]

The German television station WDR organized a festival with Van Morrison for their Rockpalast series. A lot of other artists were invited to celebrate a Christmas Special with him, among these Heather. It is well-known that Heather named Van Morrison as one of the most important musical influences in her youth, while shipping in the Caribbean. She lists for example Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks" album from 1968 (the year Heather was born) as one of the albums that "shaped her life", and the Düsseldorf gig was Heather's first meeting with Van Morrison ever. It was also her last concert in 1998 and the conclusion of her German tour, and her third Rockpalast appearance (see also Loreley 1996 and Loreley 1998, also an appearance in Düsseldorf again 2002).

Heather played twelve songs, and four of them (Maybe An Angel, Walk This World, Blood Of Me and the thrilling Not Only Human) found the way on the Israeli bootleg Under A Blue Sky.

[ Paris, Radio France, January 25, 1999 ]

On the evening before the UK tour in winter 1999, Heather stopped in Paris at Radio France to record an acoustic version (just Heather and Nadia) of London Rain. It was released in France on a sampler with the French magazine Best, Issue 1, 1999 as "Keep Me", since the name "London Rain" is not common there.

[ Netherlands, Live at Vrienden Van Amstel, December 4, 2001 ]

Heather did a collaboration with Dutch band "Bløf" on the Dutch television show "Vrienden van Amstel life" (RTL4) on December 4, 2001. It was aired on January 19, 2002. "Mooie Dag" was released on the Bløf's single "Mooie Dag # 3".

[ London concert, September 12, 2003 ]

Heather did a concert in London's Union Chapel on September 12th, 2003. The whole gig was recorded and parts of it are released on the Live At The Union Chapel DVD. "I Wanna Be Your Light" was also released on the Together As One CD.

[ Bermuda concert, May 14, 2005 ]

Heather sung two songs abroad the ship "Amistad" in Hamilton, Bermuda: "Together As One" and "Redemption Song". The song "Together As One" was sung with Bermudian native David Roache, who won the Island wide competition for a local male to sing the harmony on this song. The performance was filmed and used for the "Together As One" video clip.

[ Oui FM, likely in 2005 ]

On famous French radio station Oui FM, Heather Nova sung "Motherland" and "Wicked Game" as acoustic session. The song "Wicked Game" was used for the "Oui FM Rock Acoustic" CD compilation.

[ 1 ] SONG EDITS AND LIVE RECORDINGS THAT ARE NOT ON HER REGULAR RELEASES

There exist a lot of promo CDs with Heather's music on it. Some of these promo CDs were followed by a very similar or even equal regular release and contain nothing new. Also there are many promo CDs, which are slightly different, but the B-sides are really well-known from other CDs or the CD doesn't have any B-sides. It is not necessary to pay attention to these promo CDs in this song list. For the most detailed information about promo CDs on the Web, check out the Heather Nova Discography.

For information about bootlegs and her compilations, see the CD index.

For information about the Unmastered Siren and the Test Pressing Siren, see Siren.


Eleven songs are ONLY PROMOTIONAL releases:


These promo CDs are worth to look at them closely:

  • 1993 Glow Stars (Promo, France, # 1685)

    2:56 Glow Stars (Edit)

    This edit is not the same version as on the "Glow Stars" album, since some seconds in the middle (luckily without Heather singing) were cutted out. Between the lines "...night with you" and "I touch your face" are only four seconds left.
     
  • 1995 Walk This World (Promo, USA, OSK 7222)

    3:48 Walk This World
    4:13 Walk This World (live, likely in Amsterdam, December 15, 1994)

    The first song is the normal (censored) studio version [4]. The second song is a live version of "Walk This World" with no indication of origin, as it appears also on the Japanese Walk This World single, so it is likely from the Milkyway gig. The time is noted too short as 3:56.
     
  • 1995 Heather Nova AAA Sampler (Promo, USA, OSK 7621)

    4:08 Maybe An Angel (Edit # 3)
    4:54 Truth And Bone
    4:02 Verona
    6:20 Island

    Maybe An Angel is the only "important" song of this CD, because this "edit" is the never officially released Edit # 3 [4]. (See also Maybe An Angel US-promo). The running time is incorrect for "Maybe An Angel", the cover says 3:42, but it is in fact 4:08. The three remaining songs (Truth And Bone, Verona, Island) are identical to the release on Oyster.
     
  • 1995 Maybe An Angel ("DJ-Promo", Japan, XACS 90034)

    5:08 Maybe An Angel
    3:37 Walk This World (live, likely in Japan, November 1995)
    4:18 Maybe An Angel (live, likely in Japan, November 1995)

    This promo CD contains two very interesting live versions of Walk This World and Maybe An Angel, which cannot be found on any other CD. They are performed in an acoustic style and were recorded likely at the Japanese tour in November 1995. The first song is Maybe An Angel as it appears on Oyster.
     
  • 1996 Maybe An Angel (Promo, USA, OSK 7620)

    3:50 Maybe An Angel (Edit # 2)
    4:08 Maybe An Angel (Edit # 3)
    5:34 Maybe An Angel (live in Amsterdam, December 15, 1994)

    Three different versions of the same song on this CD! [4] The "single version" is Edit # 2, the "album edit" is the only promotional Edit # 3 (see also AAA Sampler), and the third track is from the Milkyway gig!
     
  • 1999 Gloomy Sunday (Promo, Germany, RTD 199.3640.3)

    4:32 Gloomy Sunday (movie version)
    3:40 Gloomy Sunday (radio edit # 1)
    3:40 Gloomy Sunday (radio edit # 2)

    The first two versions of this song are the same as on the Gloomy Sunday single, but the radio edit # 1 is named on this promo CD "radio edit (violin intro)". The radio edit # 2 cannot be found on an "official" CD, nevertheless it is almost the same as radio edit # 1, because the only difference is that the violin at the beginning is missing (although the violin in other parts of this song is still there). This radio edit # 2 is named "radio edit" on this promo CD, but do not mix it with the so-called "radio edit" of the single, which contains radio edit # 1 (with the violin intro).
     
  • 2001 I'm No Angel (Promo, France # 1, VVR5017738P)

    3:50 I'm No Angel (single mix)
    3:58 I'm No Angel (album version)
    5:29 I'm No Angel (onlyparadise mix)

    The first two versions are well-known, see [4]. The "onlyparadise mix" is only on this promo.
     
  • 2001? I'm No Angel (Promo, France # 2)

    3:57 I'm No Angel (album version)
    3:54 I'm No Angel (new radio mix, all vocals up)

    The first song is the well-known album version, see [4]. The "new radio mix, all vocals up" is only on this promo.
     
  • 2001 Virus Of The Mind (Promo, Germany, RTD 199.3265.3)

    3:51 Virus Of The Mind (edit)

    Short version of the regular release.
     
  • 2001 Heaven Sent (Promo, France, V2 VVR5019193P)

    4:09 Heaven sent (brosio mix)

    Only minor changes of the regular release. The length is misprinted as 3:44 on the backcover.
     
  • 2002 Like Lovers Do (Promo, USA, V2DJ-27727-2)

    3:40 Like Lovers Do (edit)
    4:08 Like Lovers Do (album version)

    The edit version is just a shortened version of the album version.
     
  • 2007 Renegade (Promo, Denmark)

    4:25 Renegade (A&T Short Mix)
    6:26 Renegade (Ronski Speed Mix)
    10:15 Renegade (A&T Mix)
    3:56 Renegade (Airplay Mix)
    5:35 Renegade (album version)

    Five times the same song! The "A&T Short Mix", a shortened version of the "A&T Mix", can only be found here and on the Swedish promo.
     
  • 2007 Renegade (Promo, Sweden)

    4:25 Renegade (A&T Short Mix)
    3:56 Renegade (Original Radio Edit)

    The "Original Radio Edit" is the same as the "Airplay Mix" on other CD's. The "A&T Short Mix" can also be found on the Danish promo.
     
  • 2007 Renegade (Promo)

    3:25 Renegade (A&T Short Radio Cut)

    Most likely promotional CD release. The "A&T Short Radio Cut" is an even more shortened "A&T Short Mix". The "CD info" is wrongly given as the song "Be Mine" by Swedish artist Robyn.


[ 2 ] BOOTLEGS - RARE RECORDINGS, BUT ALSO FAKES

As we Nova-fellows know, Heather makes an extremly unique music and has a style very of her own. We enjoy her regular releases and are "blessed" with Heather's numerous official live recordings, as Heather says, "that we are real, that we are a band, that I can really sing, that it is not just something that was put in a sampler".

This section should not be understood as promoting bootlegs, but they exist. We should concentrate in this song list on the rare recordings from acoustic radio or TV sessions and also on the famous acoustic Hamburg gig from March 2, 1996. The bootlegs with these recordings have good sound quality and every Heather fan has hopefully once the possibility to give these recordings a listen:

Tracklist Bootleg Supernova [# 1] (Germany, 1996): 4:23 Heal / 4:41 Throwing Fire At the Sun / 6:24 Island / 3:58 Like A Hurricane / 3:55 Walk This World / 4:27 Heart And Shoulder / 4:15 My Fidelity / 3:39 Doubled Up / 4:42 Maybe An Angel (+ "All Of Me" [7]) / 4:21 Ear To The Ground / 2:54 Truth And Bone (live in Hamburg, March 2, 1996) / 4:48 Island (live from MTV Europe's "Hanging Out", April 10, 1996) / 4:34 Light Years / 3:52 Walk this World / 5:38 Island / 4:49 Truth And Bone / 2:41 I'm On Fire (live on the Loreley, June 22, 1996)

Tracklist Bootleg Supernova [# 2] (Japan, 1996?): 4:40 Maybe An Angel / 3:54 Heal (live, Radio 1 Session # 1, February 4, 1995) / 3:51 Walk This World / 3:54 Heal (live, Radio 1 Session # 2, 1995) / 5:08 Maybe An Angel / 3:56 My Fidelity (live, Radio 1 Session # 3, 1995) / 5:59 Sugar / 6:52 Throwing Fire At The Sun / 5:15 Talking To Strangers / 5:37 Maybe An Angel / 3:56 Verona (live in Amsterdam, December 15, 1994) / 4:36 Maybe An Angel ("Bonus Demo", live at GLR, 1995)

Tracklist Bootleg Under A Blue Sky (Israel, 1998): 6:04 I'm The Girl / 4:06 Heart And Shoulder / 4:14 Walk This World / 4:35 Blood Of Me / 4:04 London Rain / 5:19 Island / 4:45 Winter Blue / 0:27 "introductions" [of the band] / 4:52 Maybe An Angel / 5:59 Sugar (live on the Loreley, June 21, 1998) / 4:46 Truth And Bone / 3:14 I'm On Fire (live in Hamburg, March 2, 1996) / 1:03 "interlude" [applause, prelude of concert] / 5:08 Maybe An Angel / 4:33 Walk This World / 4:58 Blood Of Me / 5:02 Not Only Human (live in Düsseldorf, December 19, 1998). This is the order of songs as it is pressed on the CD. The tracklist on the backcover has the two Hamburg songs falsely at the end instead of in the middle.

On the other hand, it is necessary to warn every true Heather fan of two bootlegs that are called "Live in the USA" and "H
