Jimi Hendrix – Angel

60's Music, 70's Music 1 Minute

This is my contribution to Song Lyric Sunday for Jim Adams blog. This weeks theme is Bird/Fly/Sky/Wing.

From songfacts.

Hendrix got the idea for this from a dream where his mother came down from heaven to take him with her.
Hendrix started working on this in 1967 along with “Little Wing,” which was a similar song. He gave up on it, but pulled it out and recorded it on July 23, 1970 – just a few months before his death on September 18, 1970.
Mitch Mitchell used a variable frequency oscillator to get an unusual sound. He didn’t like the way it came out and rerecorded his part in October 1970 after the death of Hendrix. >>

 

Angel

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough to recue he
And she told me a story yesterday,
about the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And then she spread her wings high over me
She said she’s gonna come back tomorrow

And I said “fly on my sweet angel,
fly on through the sky,
fly on my sweet angel,
tomorrow I’m gonna be by your side”

Sure enough this morning came unto me
Silver wings silhouetted against the child’s sunrise
And my angel sha said unto
“today is the day for you to rise,
Take my hand, you’re gonna be my man,
you’re gonna rise”
And she took high over yonder

And I said “fly on my sweet angel,
fly on through the sky,
fly on my sweet angel,
forever I will be by your side”
