Emptying his deposit of never-heard-before songs with CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale on March 31, Tyler, The Creator also delivered a quartet of visuals for the deluxe album.

On Monday (April 3), “Heaven To Me” became the fourth and most recent music video shared by the Californian. The sixth song on the deluxe and 22nd overall on the album, “Heaven To Me” sees Tyler rap about the simple pleasures in life, starting with the current, run-of-the-mill activities he partakes in.
No stress I bleed, I don’t got a boss
I go wherever and don’t care ’bout the cost
Gas money was stark for me, uh
Now I got so many cars I could start up
We nappin’ in parks, we in the sun gettin’ darked up
Later in the song, he reminisces on the events and things that brought him joy as a youth. Whether it be time spent with his old friends of the Odd Future collective or his choices of clothing at the time, Tyler mostly just uses the song to think happy thoughts.
Me and Jasper spendin’ last bucks on the city bus
Wayne tapes and Vice mags and Portishead drops
Peglegs, Ice Cream shoes, the Mr. Krabs watch
That was heaven for me ’round time seventeen
Produced by Kanye West, the beat for “Heaven To Me” samples John Legend’s 2006 song “Heaven.” Posting a screenshot of the track to his Instagram story upon The Estate Sale‘s release, Tyler praised West for the spectacular instrumental.
“(This) is one of my favorite beats from you ever,” Tyler wrote to Ye.
In the visual for “Heaven To Me,” Tyler dons a green ball cap and a fashionable knit sweater, as he grabs the mic to perform the song in his living room. Eventually transitioning to his lawn to lay in the grass, the bright colors and peachy atmosphere of the video encapsulate the track’s message effectively.
This latest video comes after Tyler put out the visuals for “Dogtooth,” “Sorry Not Sorry,” and “Wharf Talk” all last week. Although it’s unclear if he will continue to add videos for the more songs on the deluxe version, it seems that every offering thus far has been worth the effort. Check out “Heaven To Me” below.
