    Lyrics:
    At last we meet again, dear God
    Hear the angels sing
    The funerals are nicer when we know you're there
    When the angels sing
    Sometimes
    I try so hard
    To understand
    The things you do
    I like to question you
    When it all comes down
    Hear the angels sing
    Stand up strong
    Feel the pain
    When the angels sing
    Love
    And death
    Don't mean a thing
    Till the angels sing

    My brother died a few months ago, and I took home a cherub from his garden. I was walking and listening to my Nano yesterday (yes, I'm old), and I decided to move the cherub to a better spot in our yard. Out of 804 randomly selected songs on that device, this song started playing. And then we had a little conversation. Love this song and this band so much!

It’s hard to listen to any music without him but I’m listening to this while sitting here looking at the altar the kids and I put together for him. I hope he hears it.

    Truly one of the greatest American rock and roll bands in history. Social Distortion's music is just simply honest, and that's what I've always loved about them. No BS, just honest rock and roll. Mike Ness has kept the faith for over 40 years. They helped shape the southern California punk rock scene. They have made album after album of simply great music. Given all they have accomplished and all they have given to the world, they deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

      Yes, they should be inducted. But it a long, slow process. Lots and lots of red tape. Look how long it took for Linda Ronstadt. And her induction into the rock and roll HOF was _LONG_ overdue. I am not even sold so much on hardcore punk rock, but I. LOVE SD.

    On September 22nd of this year my mother passed away. I was her caregiver for 16 years until I could no longer help her and I needed to have her be treated by professionals. She was admitted to the hospital on her 90th birthday and she was discharged for a short time before being admitted for the last time. She did wait for me and I was blessed to hold her hand until she passed. I don't want this to be about ME I want this to be about EVERY ONE OF YOU. SxDx saved me from suicide many years ago with this song and also "I was wrong." Please try to love each other as much as you can.

This song, and all of SocialD's songs are true ballads of human nature; life, and loss. No matter your struggle or pain, know that the love we find in life is worth weathering the worst storms that life throws at us. Live well and hold close those you hold dear. Love and Death don't mean a thing 'til the angels sing.

    I vividly remember when Dennis Danell passed. Pulling an all-nighter in the wood shop to get some speakers done. I took a break to check the news and there it was. Damn... More info later said it was a cerebral aneurysm, then a heart condition. Seventeen years later my mom passed away from a cerebral aneurysm. The round-about connection hasn’t really allowed me to listen to this song until now. It just hits too close to the heart. I remember singing this song along with the crowd at a Social Distortion concert down at Bogart’s in Cincy. It was really beautiful and remains one of those memories that I hope I never lose.

      wholesome? have you followed Ness's journey from 15 year old drug addled, jail living near casualty to an second chance most people never get? his band quit on him after a show in 84, a classic punk rhythm section. the guy did it the hard way. go checkout Their early stuff...they still sneak a few of those songs in...his ljourney was rather ugly and while i prefer the early stuff...he wrote some real solid tunes, this one being probably as good as any. Cold Feelings, id live to hear a little more raw, but the band was a business by then. i have full respect for him and dennis, who stuck by his side until his unfortunate passing. He may seem wholesome, but this guy wrote Mainliner, Lude Boy, and other songs you hope your kids dont identify with. My best friend from grade school loved Prison Bound and the s/t album...drank himself to death, the same year i lost the girl i was going to marry. I wish he'd lived to her this---its gotta touch anyone whos lost someone they couldnt live without. i didnt function well after that ragic 18 months. I check this tune out when i wanna torture myself, i guess. Lifes been an empty, confusing series of failures. Since then, ive lost friends, my parents and a failed marriage. christ, why am i writing this...

    At last we meet again, dear God
    Hear the angels sing
    The funerals are nicer, when we know you're there
    When the angels sing
    Sometimes I try so hard
    To understand the things you do
    Who am I to question You
    When it all comes down
    Hear the angels sing?
    Stand up strong
    Feel the pain
    When the angels sing
    Love and Death
    Don't mean a thing
    'Til the angels sing
    The prisoners pray when they're on Death Row
    Hear the angels sing
    The junkie cries for love, but its all run out
    When the angels sing
    The sins of the world
    And its cold on the streets
    When you're all alone
    And the tears they start to fall
    When it all comes down
    Hear the angels sing
    Stand up strong
    Feel the pain
    When the angels sing
    Love and death
    Don't mean a thing
    'Til the angels sing
    Little by little
    Day by day
    I watch the children play
    'Cause life and death
    Don't mean a thing
    'Til the angels sing
    When the angel of death
    Comes looking for me
    Hear the angels sing
    I hope I was everything
    I was supposed to be
    When the angels sing;
    There's gotta be a heaven
    'Cause I've already done
    My time in hell
    And a little baby's born
    When it all comes down;
    Hear the angels sing
    Stand up strong
    Feel the pain
    When the angels sing
    Love and death
    Don't mean a thing
    'Till the angels sing
    Little by little
    Day by day
    I watch the children play
    'Cause life and death
    Don't mean a thing
    'Til the angels sing

    You know, guys. I have come to know the work of SxDx not so long ago. At first I didn't like the sound and abandoned the music. But after a while I have listened once again. SxDx's music have some flair that forces you to listen it every day. By this time I already knew that band was iconic in the history of punk-rock. I believed that nothing can surprise me now. But then I saw this video. I have been shocked. Not only that, the group has existed for almost 40 years, and is still alive, the group has become one of those who make history. But the most important thing is that music like this really affects people. Reading comments of all those people made me crying. That was a first time when I cried because of music. It is amazing, to how many people this music helped to overcome difficult times in life, how many pleasant memories can this music bring to some. Mike Ness - you're the man, who writes touching, amazing and meaningful music, which is listened by millions of people, including me, every day. It was a great pity for me that band have spent last fall on tour in USA, and I had no opportunity to hear it alive, because I'm from Russia. I hope that one day Mike Ness organizes Russian or European tour and I'll have my chance of a lifetime to witness the performance of this legendary group. Social Distortion's and Mike Ness' music will always be in my heart. Whoever had read this till the end - sorry for my bad English, I had to use autotranslation. I hope, everyone could understand my message.

    I'd like to dedicate this song, as well as some other Social D songs like "Don't Take Me For Granted" and "Angel's Wings" to my best friend, Will. Three weeks ago yesterday he was hit by a car and killed. 21 years old. I'm grateful it was quick, but I miss my buddy. We went through everything together. Will, everything I do from now on is for you. I'll see you again some day. The last time I saw him which was four days before he died, I played this song and a bunch of other Social D songs. And again at about the same time he died while we were miles apart I happened to be playing this song, as well as the other two I mentioned. Nothing makes it any easier, but music like this can at least help somewhat. Thanks for the great song, Mike Ness.
