"Even Heaven Cries" is a pop ballad recorded by German pop trio Monrose. It was penned by Robbie Nevil, Lauren Evans, Philip Denker, Jonas Jeberg, and Jens Lumholt for the group's debut studio album, ''Temptation'' (2006). Produced by Jeberg, the song was released as the album's second single on March 2, 2007 (see 2007 in music) in German-speaking Europe. The track reached the top 10 in Germany and Slovenia and the top 20 in Austria and Switzerland. It also served as Monrose's competition song for the Grand Prix Vorentscheid, the pre-selection show of the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest 2007, where it eventually placed second with a total of 20 per cent of all 900,000 phone votes. == Writing and recording == Commissioned by the band's A&R manager Nik Hafemann, "Even Heaven Cries" was one of the first songs on ''Temptation'' to be recorded by all six ''Popstars'' finalists during the album sessions in late October 2006. An early draft of the song was premiered by subsequent band member Mandy Capristo and ''Popstars'' finalists Katarzyna "Kati" Zinkiewicz and Romina Reinhardt in a one-time live version,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=ProSieben.de )〕 specially-produced for the second last episode of the ''Popstars'' series on November 16, 2006;〔 however, this version featured different addlips and vocal harmonies from the one on the album. In the final episode of the show the song was staged again in various variants but also without being advertised as Monrose's second single then. In January 2007, it was announced that either "Your Love Is Right Over Me," "Even Heaven Cries," or "Push Up on Me" would be the next single and Starwatch started a poll asking the fans to decide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=ProSieben.de )〕 However, "Even Heaven Cries" finished first with 47% of all votes and was eventually chosen as the group's second single.〔 Thus, the song also served as the albums's competition song in the pre-selection show of the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest 2007 but to get a better result than the under deadline pressure mixed album version, the girls re-entered recording studios with Thorsten Brötzmann to re-record several parts of the song.〔 However, the shortened single version of the song world-premiered on the ProSieben network's prime time boxing show ''ProSieben Fight Night'' on February 16, 2007.〔 The final trio has described the track as one of the "most sentimental" records on ''Temptation'':〔 "'Even Heaven Cries' is pure emotion and has always been one of our favourites on the album",〔 Mandy Capristo said in an interview with the band's official website. "This emotional ballad has still become more pathetic through its overwork." Senna Guemmour called the song a personal concern: "It (song ) is a notice to signify to yourself! And that's so absolutely us!"〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Even Heaven Cries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
