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.
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.
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 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"
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,
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.
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.
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...
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, 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.
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!
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.
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! ❤❤❤
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 :)
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.
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.
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'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...
Been a Sarah McLachlan fan for sooo many years, been watching CZcams 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! ❤
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 .
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 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 🙏
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
How can anyone sing that beautifully?.....amazing.
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
For me, this is the most beautiful performance ever!!!! Love this song. Love this lady!
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.

An Angel came down from heaven yesterday,……….and clutched my heart……tenderly……..
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.
almost impossible to listen to without shedding tears. Sarah truly has an angel's voice.
Smiles, hello Shannon 🌺 😊

The voice of an angel ❤

Stephen is home now carried in the arms of the Angel. My beloved one smiling sweetly at peace at last.❤

Is it me or does she really have the most beautiful voice to ever come into existence?? So pure and graceful.
Still one of the most beautiful songs ever created. She is a National Treasure.
What a beautiful angelic voice!
Her octave control is as amazing as her tone (not to mention she's gorgeous)👌
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.
@@damianlee5438 Love watching them play piano and sing, i.e., Elton John.
Sarah your voice has always been my favorite. I imagine if I ever heard an angel sing, she would sound like you.
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.

Every aspect of her performance of this song is beautiful and enthralling.
This song is for ever and ever: Sarah McLachlan: one of the best singer i hever known
Such a beautiful song from an even more beautiful woman ❤
My old Celtic heart soars when she sings!
What a beautiful voice and song. Some people are so gifted
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...
David MacLucas
Thats beautiful👌
Sarah McLachlan sings... and my empty soul fills with warmth. Thank you !!
And then the stars parted, and a sound came from heaven.
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.
Your voice, like an angel, lifts my soul and the harmony of my being.
Thank you Sarah, for this angelic gift.❤
She is special, the song is special, the connection is special.
Such a talented musician. Thank you for your incredible music over the years.😊
I have no words for that performence....my greatest respect!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes she's singing her song with the perfect voice Sarah we loved the way you sang with your sole congradulation.
This is still one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard. Sarah has the voice of an angel.
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!
It's hard to describe how good this song and performance is.
Just beautiful, we all need to believe in our angels. Sarah makes this song resonate with life. Thanks
"Maybe I'll find some peace tonight" so beautiful ❤️❤️
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.

May your son rest easy In the hands of the lord 🙏 ❤️

Simply said!! Stunning inside and out!! We need more Sarah's in this world.
Speechless, it doesn't get any better than this, thank you.
Thank you again Sarah. You are truly an angel.
This song was my late wife's favorite song....brings me to tears still even today. I love this song. Thank you.
Sarah sings this song with such emotion and heart, such an angelic voice!
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.
Agreed
Renea Poole agree
For me too !
So true ... did not find a songtext which makes the hair on my arms stand up 😮

Love all your words, good man! (From a Gibson girl)
Beautifully stated
Good Lord, she is extremely beautiful and the way she sings and plays this song takes you to another place in your soul.

What a voice and she is so beautiful.
I could listen over and over Thank you
Sarah returns. Fantastic.! That Voice.!
I had to hear this angel singing about Angel's again. It gives me goosebumps.
