Greta Van Fleet: Heat Above

Updated: Feb 27, 2021




Greta Van Fleet has been exceptionally active on social media all this week as well as last week. Sharing symbols to their Instagram stories that in fact symbolized the songs on the track list for their new album, “The Battle At Garden’s Gate”, releasing into the world April 16.



The band teased a new look, dressed in insanely beautiful and creative outfits, rumored to be part of the music video for their latest single, “Heat Above”.




“Heat Above” is an older song, that was performed at many early GVF shows, in 2016 & 2017. The song begins with the beautiful sound of an organ, as if you’re heading to church. The drums start off soft and gradually become louder and the four young artists fully come together as they present the main melody of the song. This is the most uplifting song I have heard in a long time, striking with the chorus that sings, “Can you feel my love?”


Lyrics that hook us:

“We do not fight the war but to save the lives of those who do so”


“Can you feel my love? Rising with the heat above, Life’s the story of ascending to the stars as one”


“Marching across the land is a peaceful army joining the band, walking hand in hand to anthem loudly sung where they stand”



Listen to Heat Above:


Full Heat Above Lyrics (Courtesy of lyricsfa.com):


Sorrows of the Earth May our tears of rain wash down to bathe you This is what life is worth When the fires still burn and rage all around

Can you hear that dreadful sound? Fire still burning on the ground

Follow the fearsome sound As they march to battle, hear the drums pound We do not fight for war But to save the lives of those who do so

Can you hear that dreadful sound? Fire still burning on the ground

Can you feel my love? Rising with the heat above Life’s the story of Ascending to the stars as one

Marching across the land Is a peaceful army joining the band Walking hand in hand To anthem loudly sung where they stand

Can you hear that dreadful sound? Fire still burning on the ground

Can you feel my love? Rising with the heat above Life’s the story of Ascending to the stars as one




"There's plenty of love left in this world, even though it may not seem like it. Let's rise to the stars together." - Greta Van Fleet
