How does Sarah write the lyrics to such a complicated song and then adds the music to become one of the iconic performances ever. Such a talent very few singer songwriters have. Pure and utter genius. Thanks Sarah xx
The chord progression is relatively uncomplicated but some musicians/singers possess the ability to connect the emotions and words of the song to the keyboard or whatever they are playing. As a keyboardist I can see that this talent has many many levels of talent combined with years of experience from both the singer and accompanying artist and in her case both.
In my opinion. This is one of the most beautiful songs that was ever written or recorded and with Sarah singing and playing the piano even more breathtaking.
My son was an addict and died in October 2021. I didn't get to say goodbye. I had this beautiful song played at his funeral. I listen to it constantly now and remember him.
I cant imagine the depth of a mother's grief! Know he is near in Spirit Know he hears you when you talk to him... The power of your Love is felt in all dimensions! He feels your Heart! ❤❤❤
As a guy, I'm almost ashamed to say this song brings a lot of emotion to the surface. Her voice is so beautiful and you can feel the emotion behind it. Thanks for posting this video.
Sarah released this song right around the time I was pregnant with my firstborn - my son - this will always remind me of those 9 months that God, his father, and myself helped to create the miracle that he is today. This is just one of the many reasons Sarah is my favorite singer. Thank you Sarah for sharing your gift with the world, 🙏🏼❤️
The funniest part of this song is that the world fell in love with the melody and the word angel and didn't even figure out what the arms of the angel actually is. The song is clearly about addicts and their reasoning and the arms of the angel is the fix that gives them comfort and release from the pain they feel every day.
@@pessimistprime Yes; a radio commentary I heard said that the angel is heroin, and the song was about performers dealing with the stresses of being onstage.
This is one of those songs that people shouldn’t touch. In a way it’s like My Heart Will Go On in the fact that anyone besides Celine singing it reduces it to a cheesy mess while she brings just enough of *something* to the song to keep it from being the cheeseball it is with other singers. But in the case of Angel, it feels like no one puts just the right mixture of emotions into it like Sarah does. It usually feels like singers make it overly sad just for the sake of being depressing. Sarah seems to sing it with a reverence that’s missing in every cover I’ve ever heard.
This song brings lots of meaning to me as i lost my daughter at the age of 27 ten years ago as she took her life . But i know she is in heaven with the angels she worked at a place that helped handicap children. every time they would see her their eyes would light up and she loved them even more ! I know she has been gone for 10 years now but this time of year i miss her so much and wish i could hear her laugh one more time ! as it said on her head stone GOING HOME with angels hands reaching down for her . love you and miss you Amy ! DAD.
I lost my 24 yr old son 40 months ago... same way as your daughter...he was full of life but the love of his life moved on without him and 2 and half days later... he took his life. I know exactly how you feel...it left a hole in my heart that will not heal over... there are days where I sit waiting to see him walk in just one more time and hear him say..."Hey"
I'll NEVER forget the first time I heard this song when it was released! I grew up in a house of domestic violence where the misery and tears of physical and emotional abuse rained down on me a cold, dark and painful shroud. I marched into mid-life with that shroud cutting its own trench of misery and tears - SADLY so. With the help of many people (angels), I was defrocking that shroud when I heard this song. When the song finished, I sat gob-smacked, not knowing that rivers of tears were flowing. In that moment, I realized just how darn lucky I was for having angels steering me towards living life more fully in the light of non-violent love AND for the first time, this then 40-something male experienced tears of joy. I treasure that moment! Over time and regardless the rendition Sarah sings, this song still 'gets me' the same way. I will always TREASURE this song! THANK YOU, SARAH, THANK YOU!!!
I have the same sentiments as you do. I am grateful you came through and lasted to seen what the end would be. That is why I believe music. It is therapy for all of our four bodies, and only angels know how to minister to those bodies - through angels. Songs have saved me from many things that I was not even aware of at the moment, but when it was time, I realized it and knew why the song was sent to me at that specific time. I believe in Light - where angels come from. This is one of the loveliest songs I ever heard and Sarah sings from such a deep, deep place in her soul.
Thank YOU, for posting this comment. I, myself, find it VERY difficult to share such personal things. But, when people have the strength and courage-at least that's what I call it, to do this, it gives me hope that maybe some day, I will too. Thanks, again...
That's talent right there. One of the best songs ever written. Timeless, beautiful and emotional. I never tire of listening to it. Nobody can sing it better. Thanks for writing it, Sarah.
The silk of her voice. The pitch and harmony with the piano. Such a beautiful Lady and performance. Always brings tears to my eyes to hear this wonderful song.
This song save my life. I was an addick. Thinking of ending it all. This song came up. It woke me up. Haven’t been easy but i have a family with two angel of myself. Thank u for saving me.
I’ve been clean and sober for 28 years one day at a time. The difference I found between people with long term sobriety and people with struggle with sobriety, is the people that stay sober have the ability to rigorously honest with themselves, regardless if they’re in a 12 step programs. But, 12 steps programs have tools for living if you choose to use them.
Her voice is like air... you dont know you haven't taken a breathe in a while until her voice pours into your ears and recalibrates your spirit a little...
For me this is simply the most beautiful song ever written. Beautifully sung by the Angel that is Sarah. I simply cannot imagine having the talent to sing and play so beautifully. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
lived on streets for 9.5 years,allways found a new route/life daily/xtooly helped physy,saved with silent friends,was voted 1 in hostel,song was always played on street,500+men+STAFF,were exelent,thks,
Since discovering this video a few weeks ago, I have listened to it every day at least once. In this troubled world, the peace that settles over me is so welcome. Thank you, Sarah.
This song is an exquisite expression of compassion for all those artists who struggle to fulfill their potential in a brutal musical industry. It has a rare, truly transcendant quality.
OrangeAni five years has passed from the time of your comment . To this very day of 9/4/2019 this performance is absolutely wonderful to watch . It touches your soul .
OMG! She has never sung this more beautifully! Brought good tears to my eyes!! I have missed her! Thank you Sarah! So beautiful! I will listen again and again!
I was on the road with my band in the Southern States of the US during in 1999 and I fell in love with this song .....I must have played it 10,000 times or more probably and never grew tired of it . In those despondent days when things and situations and feelings clambered up on you , I would put this on my personal stereo and head phones and close my eyes and everything would somehow calm down and I'd feel the stress and worry just drift away . Thankyou for this song Sarah :)
Sarah, I love this song (which was played at my wife's funeral in 2005) and I love all your music. Its been part of my healing and I have to go back and play it every now and then. I do believe in the angels, God's messengers. Thank you for writing this song.
This is the most beautiful and ridiculously amazing thing I've ever seen. Seriously... if you can watch this and not at least tear up, you're not human.
Sarah sat on the edge of the stage dressed in a pair of jeans and a jean shirt with her acoustic guitar and performed about 5 feet in front of me. Two morning show DJs, Humble and Fred, on CFNY FM in Toronto sponsored their “Acoustic Christmas” show around December 1993. I recall the show was at the Danforth Music Hall (old theatre venue with an open floor in front of the stage). Sarah was one of the performers that night. What an awesome experience to hear her beautiful voice so close up.
Beautiful written song Sarah, and beautifully sung.... Your talent is so under rated....just like many other Canadian artists. This was my Mom's favorite song.... : )
I didn't know Sarah had a Son? Or Brother? But her Mother had Breast Cancer and she took it really Hard! Because apparently she was really close to her mom
This song was an inspiration for a project that I did for the Callander Bay Museum for the lives lost during the WW1 and WW2 soldiers we lost. After completing the project my assistant suggested we play this piece. It seemed most appropriate.
Lost my baby sis to cancer, she was only 32. A single mom. Her and I went thru divorces at the same time, just so many things. A family of 7 brothers and sisters. I was gone in the military for many years, used to save up my money for her to visit. She loved this song. The priest told me I couldn't play it at her funeral. It was played.......... love you Colleen and miss you........ thank you Sara if you ever read his.
Thank you Sarah lost my closest cousin today 44yo this truly gave me a moment to have a good cry and a chance to rejoice she is in the arms of angels and God,,, God bless
That lady could sing a Chinese takeaway menu and it would sound so good....pure talent.... Every now and again a song is written and performed that make it timeless and makes it mean so much to many for so many reasons. Thank you thank you
This song uplifts my soul as I lost my husband a year ago .. It calms my heart and found my peace listening to it over and over again... Maybe he got tired of life's burdens to man and maybe God saw his tired mind and body and took him to rest. Someday we'll meet again. For now it's only "goodnight" for me...
I must be the only one who is not crying and feeling sad to this song, no matter the fact that I also lost dogs, grandmothers and fathers. This song is to me a proof how there is more to us than just what is being served on the media. That we can understand the language of souls even though sometimes we get carried away with all the shit we have during the day. Songs like this one are like heaven sent so we do not forget that we know what peace can feel alike, even though we hardly get it in our days.
SARAH MCLACHLAN has the most beautiful voice, it sounds so sensual and smooth, it can bring a fear to my eyes sometimes when I am relaxed and comfortable.....when I feel like I need a friend or someone to talk to, I put her music on and I just fall into a very soothing mood as if she were singing to me......her singing is just simply great 🙂😊🙏🙏🙏
Been a Sarah McLachlan fan for sooo many years, been watching RUclips videos for soooo many years . . . . . how in hell did this come out 10 years ago with this being the first time i have ever heard it????? She is as magical as ever! ❤
@@logandogan272 -- When they sing crap music, it's difficult to know whether they might have some vocal talent hidden under there somewhere... Sometimes, their talent slips our despite their best crap music efforts to hide it though... For example, Miley Cyrus... I was pretty convinced that she had no talent and then I heard her "Backyard Sessions" on RUclips and realized that hidden underneath that leftist whack-job is a voice that had potential if she was actually singing *good* music...
She's not only a beautiful person in all respects, with a hauntingly beautiful voice, but one of he absolute best poets of my long, long life. Of course, I knew Angel, when it was first released, but my life has taken me in so many directions at once - so many times - that's only recently that I've had the opportunity to be absolutely awed by Sarah. And the only two things that I must do everyday is sing Angel and I Will Remember You several times each. Some think of the latter song as something simple, but there is so much hidden meaning in it that it pairs so well with Angel.
"Angel" Spend all your time waiting for that second chance for a break that would make it okay there's always some reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction oh beautiful release memories seep from my veins let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight in the arms of the angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here so tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn there's vultures and thieves at your back and the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lies that you make up for all that you lack it don't make no difference escaping one last time it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees in the arms of the angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here
Other people can hear as well you know. You must of been so bored to write the lyrics. You even wrote the chorus more than once. Geez, I must be so bored to reply
I used to listen to this song always while driving to school, and "saving face" would turn it to drum and bass just before turning up... now can't show enough people the beauty in this sound ❤
This lady was sent by God to bring peace to people like me, I m a 79yr old widow with fibromyalgia. Her voice can sooth me in bad times.
Nice song. Hello how are you doing?
so glad that you have a voice to help
Sending you love peace, and relief.
Yes,for me too
Beautiful song God bless
I think Sarah is secretly an angel sent to earth to make us all feel better with her beautiful ethereal singing...❤
I agree.Some angel hey.
I think she lost somebody very close to her. Her story
Amen 🙏
How can anyone sing that beautifully?.....amazing.
How does Sarah write the lyrics to such a complicated song and then adds the music to become one of the iconic performances ever. Such a talent very few singer songwriters have. Pure and utter genius. Thanks Sarah xx
She's an Angel in disguise. A beautiful voice singing a song sent from Heaven.
The song is not complicated. It's embarrassingly simple. She simply didn't overthink.❤
The chord progression is relatively uncomplicated but some musicians/singers possess the ability to connect the emotions and words of the song to the keyboard or whatever they are playing. As a keyboardist I can see that this talent has many many levels of talent combined with years of experience from both the singer and accompanying artist and in her case both.

Agreed
Renea Poole agree
For me too !
So true ... did not find a songtext which makes the hair on my arms stand up 😮
Amen to that, I like the slower tempo so much soulfulness...
Sarah has the eyes..the voice..the beauty..I think all we are missing are the wings❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed, Daniel. That may be why they didn't film her back :)
Look closely you'll see the wings. ❤
She has butterflywings
My son was an addict and died in October 2021. I didn't get to say goodbye. I had this beautiful song played at his funeral. I listen to it constantly now and remember him.
May your son rest easy In the hands of the lord 🙏 ❤️
🔥🌟🔥
❤
say goodbye..he can hear you....god bless you all.
I cant imagine the depth of a mother's grief! Know he is near in Spirit Know he hears you when you talk to him... The power of your Love is felt in all dimensions! He feels your Heart! ❤❤❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Guys are human too and this is a beautiful song.
you are WIERDLY bizzarre
andres segura Yes andres I agree, you are most definitely WIERDLY bizzarre lol
That's what makes a GREAT song.... Raw emotion ! ... If a singer cant make you FEEL it ... you are not a singer !
Me too man, me too. It I dont feel weird.
She is one of the few artists that sounds even better live than on the radio. She has a haunting and beautiful delivery. So very lovely ❤️.
Sarah released this song right around the time I was pregnant with my firstborn - my son - this will always remind me of those 9 months that God, his father, and myself helped to create the miracle that he is today.

An Angel came down from heaven yesterday,……….and clutched my heart……tenderly……..
This song has been covered a million times and no one has ever done it better.
Thats because it cannot nor never will be better performed by any other person
This is one of those songs that people shouldn’t touch.
In a way it’s like My Heart Will Go On in the fact that anyone besides Celine singing it reduces it to a cheesy mess while she brings just enough of *something* to the song to keep it from being the cheeseball it is with other singers.

Beyoncé did it better
@@allexissmith5025 Beyonce is an entertainer, not an artist.

Thats beautiful👌
And then the stars parted, and a sound came from heaven.
What a beautiful angelic voice!
Good Lord, she is extremely beautiful and the way she sings and plays this song takes you to another place in your soul.
Still one of the most beautiful songs ever created. She is a National Treasure.
For me this is simply the most beautiful song ever written. Beautifully sung by the Angel that is Sarah. I simply cannot imagine having the talent to sing and play so beautifully. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

This song is an exquisite expression of compassion for all those artists who struggle to fulfill their potential in a brutal musical industry. It has a rare, truly transcendant quality.
Love all your words, good man! (From a Gibson girl)
Beautifully stated
I've never heard of this woman, but what a beautiful voice. I could listen to her all day.
Yes me too
My all time ever favorite female singer. Ever.
Magnificent performance, your voice is like an Angel. You should do more like this. Just you and the piano.
The quiet of her home is a big plus. No screaming fans drowning out such a great song. And it's easy to ignore the one voice crack.
Such a beautiful song from an even more beautiful woman ❤
What a beautiful voice and song. Some people are so gifted
Speechless, it doesn't get any better than this, thank you.
The voice of an angel ❤
This song is for ever and ever: Sarah McLachlan: one of the best singer i hever known
This performance is absolutely wonderful
She's STILL gorgeous and with a voice that absolutely gives me chills it's so amazing!
OrangeAni I agree, lovely.
OrangeAni five years has passed from the time of your comment . To this very day of 9/4/2019 this performance is absolutely wonderful to watch . It touches your soul .
It's hard to describe how good this song and performance is.
Every aspect of her performance of this song is beautiful and enthralling.
She is special, the song is special, the connection is special.
Stripped down, this is the Best version of this song I’ve EVER heard
This is still one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard. Sarah has the voice of an angel.
She's AMAZING!!!!..... I REALLY ENJOYED LISTENING!!!!.... THIS WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!.... LOVELY PERFORMANCE MY DEAR!!!!.......🕊🍃🌷🍃🌷🍃🌷🍃🕊🎼🙏🙏🙏🎼🌠💯🙌😇
Yes she's singing her song with the perfect voice Sarah we loved the way you sang with your sole congradulation.
OMG! She has never sung this more beautifully! Brought good tears to my eyes!! I have missed her!
Thank you Sarah! So beautiful! I will listen again and again!
"Maybe I'll find some peace tonight" so beautiful ❤️❤️
I was on the road with my band in the Southern States of the US during in 1999 and I fell in love with this song .....I must have played it 10,000 times or more probably and never grew tired of it .

I have no words for that performence....my greatest respect!!
Sarah, I love this song (which was played at my wife's funeral in 2005) and I love all your music. Its been part of my healing and I have to go back and play it every now and then. I do believe in the angels, God's messengers. Thank you for writing this song.
Angel's voice, that's Sarah! I still loving this song after all those years.
Sarah McLachlan sings... and my empty soul fills with warmth. Thank you !!
This is the most beautiful and ridiculously amazing thing I've ever seen.
Seriously... if you can watch this and not at least tear up, you're not human.

She’s still like that! Front row center twice- she was so amazing yet humble and connected to her audience. No one else like her…
Your voice, like an angel, lifts my soul and the harmony of my being.
Thank you Sarah, for this angelic gift.❤
Just beautiful, we all need to believe in our angels. Sarah makes this song resonate with life. Thanks
She has the voice of an angel.
I had to hear this angel singing about Angel's again. It gives me goosebumps.
Gives me cold chills. Simply beautiful, song and Sarah.
By now I think it's fair to say & to remind...that we love Sarah, the person, as much as the artist, the music. Unconditionally, forever! 2022
Beautiful written song Sarah, and beautifully sung.... Your talent is so under rated....just like many other Canadian artists.
This was my Mom's favorite song.... : )
Nearly unprecedented raw talent. One of my biggest influences and inspirations as a piano player, songwriter and musician.
Simply said!! Stunning inside and out!! We need more Sarah's in this world.
Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful lady. How could it go wrong? It couldn't.
Absolutely beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. What more is there to say?
To my Husband in Heaven...
michele bungard Mine too….
Mine too dear.
'Great
michele bungard Thank you for sharing................................
yall are all welcome...:)
She must have lost someone very dear to her to write this song .she has heart . We played this song a our son's funeral.
I believe that the Song is about her Mother who died of Cancer
am so sorry for your loss...find comfort in this heavenly song and am sure your son is waiting for you in heaven ! God bless !
@@runejohansen2117 I believe Sarah's Mother Died of Breast Cancer ?
I didn't know Sarah had a Son? Or Brother? But her Mother had Breast Cancer and she took it really Hard! Because apparently she was really close to her mom
My understanding is the “arms of the angel” she speaks of are drugs to dull the pain of a musician in a lonely hotel room after a show.
My old Celtic heart soars when she sings!
Thank you again Sarah. You are truly an angel.
That song is a gift to humanity, and reminds us of our vulnerabilities and humanness. One of the most beatiful songs ever written.
I can tell she has a beautiful spirit.
Her music has the same calming affect as a hug from mom
Favorite song ever. Her voice I can listen to all day and night. Beautiful. 💜💙❤️🧡
She has such a beautiful, sweet, soulful voice and style. I love it!
How sweet her voice. It's amazing and peaceful.
This song was my late wife's favorite song....brings me to tears still even today. I love this song. Thank you.
This is one of the most moving, and haunting songs. I mean her voice just cuts through. It has always been one of my all time favs!
Love it! This is real music, played from the heart
I love to hear you sing this song by yourself ,its so beautiful this way, and just the piano ,love you.
What a voice and she is so beautiful.
This song was an inspiration for a project that I did for the Callander Bay Museum for the lives lost during the WW1 and WW2 soldiers we lost. After completing the project my assistant suggested we play this piece. It seemed most appropriate.
Lost my baby sis to cancer, she was only 32. A single mom.
Her and I went thru divorces at the same time, just so many things.
A family of 7 brothers and sisters. I was gone in the military for many years,
used to save up my money for her to visit.
She loved this song. The priest told me I couldn't play it at her funeral.
It was played.......... love you Colleen and miss you........ thank you Sara if you ever read his.
So beautiful and her voice will melt your heart.
I'm better now. Thank you Sarah. You always show up in my life just when I need you.
Stay strong.
Thank you Sarah lost my closest cousin today 44yo this truly gave me a moment to have a good cry and a chance to rejoice she is in the arms of angels and God,,, God bless
I have always loved this beautiful and emotional song!!
Thank you , Sarah you saved me😍
I WILL REMEMBER YOU IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL..
I love YOU Sarah!
That lady could sing a Chinese takeaway menu and it would sound so good....pure talent....
Every now and again a song is written and performed that make it timeless and makes it mean so much to many for so many reasons.
Thank you
thank you
This song uplifts my soul as I lost my husband a year ago .. It calms my heart and found my peace listening to it over and over again... Maybe he got tired of life's burdens to man and maybe God saw his tired mind and body and took him to rest. Someday we'll meet again. For now it's only "goodnight" for me...
Peace be with you!! Montana Rick.
She so beautiful and looks good as she has gotten older. Love this song too
+MayorMcCheese78 She looks better with the longer hair :)
Yup
I must be the only one who is not crying and feeling sad to this song, no matter the fact that I also lost dogs, grandmothers and fathers. This song is to me a proof how there is more to us than just what is being served on the media. That we can understand the language of souls even though sometimes we get carried away with all the shit we have during the day. Songs like this one are like heaven sent so we do not forget that we know what peace can feel alike, even though we hardly get it in our days.
SARAH MCLACHLAN has the most beautiful voice, it sounds so sensual and smooth, it can bring a fear to my eyes sometimes when I am relaxed and comfortable.....when I feel like I need a friend or someone to talk to, I put her music on and I just fall into a very soothing mood as if she were singing to me......her singing is just simply great 🙂😊🙏🙏🙏
Been a Sarah McLachlan fan for sooo many years, been watching RUclips videos for soooo many years
. . . . . how in hell did this come out 10 years ago with this being the first time i have ever heard it?????
She is as magical as ever! ❤
How dare today's "artist" call themselves such. Like coloring a coloring book and calling yourself Picasso. This is talent
I call them all "Gen-Slackers"... And their "music" fits that description also...
@@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire some of them are good. Some of them are great. None of them are Sarah.
@@logandogan272 -- When they sing crap music, it's difficult to know whether they might have some vocal talent hidden under there somewhere... Sometimes, their talent slips our despite their best crap music efforts to hide it though... For example, Miley Cyrus... I was pretty convinced that she had no talent and then I heard her "Backyard Sessions" on RUclips and realized that hidden underneath that leftist whack-job is a voice that had potential if she was actually singing *good* music...
She's not only a beautiful person in all respects, with a hauntingly beautiful voice, but one of he absolute best poets of my long, long life. Of course, I knew Angel, when it was first released, but my life has taken me in so many directions at once - so many times - that's only recently that I've had the opportunity to be absolutely awed by Sarah. And the only two things that I must do everyday is sing Angel and I Will Remember You several times each. Some think of the latter song as something simple, but there is so much hidden meaning in it that it pairs so well with Angel.
"Angel"
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
beautiful singer.
Thanks for sharing the lyrics! Such beautiful song!
Perfect
Other people can hear as well you know. You must of been so bored to write the lyrics. You even wrote the chorus more than once. Geez, I must be so bored to reply
I used to listen to this song always while driving to school, and "saving face" would turn it to drum and bass just before turning up... now can't show enough people the beauty in this sound ❤
I hear your voice and hear an angel singing thank you Sarah
