A completely superfluous entry. I think that "The Angel" by Sarah McLachlan, both the text and the song itself (her voice, the piano, guh) is one of the most beautiful anthems I have ever heard, regardless of it being pop music or Anglican music, whatever. So, so very glorious. I dread to think of how many times I've listened it since goddess of music, otherwise known as [livejournal.com profile] llembas put it on a mixed CD for me.

you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here


*swoons*

*listens to it again, thinking about how glorious it sounded as I listened to it a couple of weeks ago on my CD player while hidden away on the grounds of Lews castle, in a verdent-drenched forest, when I was on the Outer Hebrides*

I'm probably all melancholy because while (joy, rapture) it's cool enough to wear a cardigan, I picked the one I wore a lot while in Scotland, and today I noticed two white cat hairs on it; from the dear cat that would sit on my bed while I was at the B&B. Sniff. The holiday is over.

p.s. an idle thought; as a writer, at least on the side, the thought of trying to write song lyrics has begun to cross my mind, probably not least because I live in 'Music City.' Somebody's got to write all of those lyrics, and not all singers are songwriters, right?

{{{{Thev}}} I'd love to see you try your hand at songwriting. After all, the poetry you've written is lovely, and you know music so well. Then again, I can't think of anything you couldn't write beautifully if you tried... :)

city of angels soundtrack, eh? I may see if our library carries it, and/or look at amazon and see what's on it. It is certainly worth adoring, isn't it?!
