  • thums up if you cryed or though of crying

  • I need some distractions oh beautiful release...

  • Every time I hear this song, I think of my cousin who was struck and killed by a drunk driver. It's sad that there are still people out in the world who do that stuff. Rest in peace cuz, You're forever in my heart :'/

  • R.i.p. roger Albert my grandfather

  • R.i.p. all wwf wrestlers

  • Wtf are people writing about there animals this is for people who have died

  • @KayciBlend they're talking about animals because is the song used in a commercial for abused animals

  • 'There's always SOME reason'...'From this STARK, cold hotel room'...'So tired of the straight LIFE'..., way cup.

  • @absoftitanium "SOME" , yes. The others, no. OP is correct on those.

  • @PmpknEtr Horseshit, my most excellent friend. LISTEN to the song. The OP is NOT correct. So very sorry.

  • @absoftitanium Whoa. Easy, tiger. Honestly, until very recently I'd have agreed about "life" vs "line", but once I started seeing it published as "line", I took a close look at a bunch of her live clips - watching her mouth. I was as surprised as anyone to realize it's "line".

    ...and, while I believe "this stark, cold..." WOULD have been a little more poetic, it's harder to sing and, IMHO, not as "Sarah" as "this dark, cold..."

    Sorry if I offended. Too nice a song to get pissy about. Out.

  • @PmpknEtr You did not offend, I just disagreed. 'So tired of the straight liNe' would make a lot less sense than 'straight liFe, but I admit it does sound like 'line'... Strange. However, there's more emphasis on the sibilant in the phrase, 'thiS Stark cold hotel room' than you might expect if it were 'this dark, cold...' Doesn't mean it's not possible, of course.

  • My beloved cat of 10 years died in my arms while this song played.

    I accidently backed over her with my car. I felt so bad.

    Worst day of my life. :(

    Great song, I love the live version.

  • @BarkinPeach Did you back your car over the clothes dryer your cat was in at the time? Moron.

    Cretin.

  • Sorry Repeat Button...I think your brokken!

  • I'll always <3 you Cole, just know i never want to lose you....you are my everthing, even though im unnoticed. I may be obese,ugly, but i have a heart, i can love as well as anybody else. I know your dating my cousin. But you ARE my everything. If you die i could'nt live without you. Cole Wilcox i love you. We are different. I have a boyfriend and you have a girlfriend. always Cole, always.

  • I wish I could send a million dollars to that abused dog foundation

  • i used this song for my dog's video. i love it.♥

  • I was child abused as a kid and i remember listening to this to clear my mind ... even though i'm still being abused .. I'd rather stay with people who gave me everything then being taken away to foster care .. I'm 14 and i hope life gets better ... In about 5 years I'll leave this joint and have my own family .. Please pray for me for not losing hope .. Thank You ! :)

  • @memebringit Nunca pierdas la esperanza... algún día podrias sorprenderte de lo grande que puedes llegar a ser. Tienes la mejor compañia, que eres tú mismo, eres un ser unico. Te deseo mucha suerte, no permitas nunca que alguien te diga que no puedes lograr lo que tú quieres. Fuerza y decisión =)

  • @memebringit God Bless you and Stay Strong! I pray to God to protect you for the years that you will be at there.

  • "let me be empty, oh and weightless and maybe, i'll find some peace tonight" < most perfect line ever written

  • I always think this song is about depression

  • @Mauser2012 It's about drug addiction.

  • @absoftitanium I know

  • R.I.P Albert Gamez(my daddy)

  • ): this song was played at my dads funeral but i reall did remeber because i was only 2

  • A verry beautiful girl who went to my school died today... i didn't really know her but she's in my prayers. I dedicated this song to her. Blessed be Remington Neeley <3

  • @HorseRider1496 May i ask how ?

  • i just don't see dark side to wich you all relate,like funerals,addiction and rest.i see as hope,relief,peaceful song

  • @likefameacting You can google the song to read what Sarah McLachlan wrote it about; The heroin overdose death of the Barking Pumpkins' keyboardist. She has spoken about it in interviews.

  • a guy sang this amazingly at my school's carol service but to think its about heroin kinda ruins it...its a nice song whichever way you look at it.

  • this song mean to me someone who suffered to much, died, in the arm of an angel as a relief for grieving

  • It maybe so that this song is about heroin BUT some people find comfort in the lyrics because it can also relate to losing someone. It takes open minds to recreate the meaning of a song in thier head without changing the words!

  • I hate my life.

  • @zo0m14 :( x

  • R.I.P. bubba Geoffrey

    I miss you so much it hurts it still hasn't gotten easier. Why did you have to leave me. I love you so much bubba. I miss our talks and how you could always cheer me up no matter how mad I was. I miss that handsome smile. I miss the way you use to hold me and jus let me cry. Forever missed always loved

  • R.I.P Grandpa,

    I remeber how heart felt your hugs were & I remeber how many times you told me you love me.. I miss those days so much. Wait until you see how much Dana and I have grown up. I wish I could put into words how much I love you, but I can't...

    I love you so much...more than you will ever know..

  • Just wondering how 143 people pressed 'dislike' ???

  • no one will ever understand how much this song means to me right now, it was played at my cousins funeral yesterday ,he lost his fight against cancer 3 weeks ago, it was so hard saying my last goodbye to him, he was more than a cousin to me he was like my brother, keep shining up there ryan you was such an inspiration to everyone and never failed to make anyone laugh or smile everyone loved you, Rest in peace i love you and i miss you so much!

  • @hannahloveschu12 I am so sorry for your loss. Trust me, I know how you feel. I've been there. But just think he is much happier now and you will see him again someday(:

  • its a touching song i dont get how people can dislike it they have no heart

  • Comment removed

  • Agree with the "this song is a great comfort when in no man's land"

  • Best sound quality. This song saved me from a D.U.I....... Long story but this song is a great comfort from when you are in no man's land Spiritually...

  • I lost my soul mate,best friend n husband not a year ago. He was the most amazing man I ever knew and my best friend growing up.I fell in love with him the moment we met at age 8. Not a day goes by still that I dont think of him.I see his smile shining thru on our sons face everytime I look at him and his great sence of humor in my daughters sillyness.He gave me the greatest gift anyone could give... our children10,12. I miss you DRS. I will love you forever and always. RIP love 2/7/67-4/24/11.

  • This song is on all the Animal Abuse commercials!!! THAT'S WHY I AM CRYING!!!

  • Yesterday I loST a member of my family, my dog. My little shih-tzu got out of the fence when the wind blew it open. He went "exploring" as he always did when he got out. It was dark and he got hit by a car. The driver never stopped. Everyone searched frantically for him. I called in his tags to find out he was laying on the side of the road dead :( My poor harley died by a driver that never stopped! You will always be in my heart little guy and mommy loves you so much. RIP 1-13-12 :(

  • @JennClayton09

    My grandpa died that day too. I understand. I am so sorry for your loss. Many people say that losing a "pet" isn't the same as losing a true family member. Animals are our family too, and it hurts just as much as losing a brother, mom, grandma, etc. I hope things get easier for you. You and your Harley are in my prayers.

  • @11Cloverchick Thanks for your kind words. I too hope things get easier for you as well. Losing a pet IS like losing a family member. My fur baby I had for 12 years. When you spend that much time with something you love them like you would love a parent or relative. Harley will greatly be missed as he made an impression on so many. I worked in a personal care home and there was a guy who never talked and has seizures. Out of 40 some residents Harley chose this man to sit beside and lay next to.

  • @JennClayton09

    Thank you. Harley sounds like he was a wonderful addition to your family. How is the man at the care home? Is he doing okay without Harley?

  • @11Cloverchick He is doing good actually. Harley will be forever missed my poor little man but like I said he touched many lives and a very smart little guy he was.

  • @JennClayton09 Good to hear. Well, best of luck in your future trials and accomplishments.

  • @JennClayton09 I lost my dog a couple weeks ago as well. I'm so sorry that he was hit by that driver. My dog was found lying in our backyard right under my window. His name was Mackie, and he was a black lab mix chow. For being apart of my life for fourteen years, I can't remember a time when he wasn't sitting at my back door scratching and guilting me into giving him some extra ham, even though I probably would have done the same thing sooner or later. May both dogs rest in peace. 12-29-11

  • My dog.

  • My uncle ironically but sad, died only a few days after this song came out.

  • This is my song. No douth about it. I don't have to said anymore.

  • my uncle passed away in a car accident on january 6, 2012 RIP UNCLE CHAD U DIDNT DESERVE TO DIE WE ALL LOVE AND MISS U... U WERE A GREAT GUY TO BE AROUND AND U HAD A HEART OF GOLD!!! GO BE WIT THE ANGELS!!

  • @fitzgerraldx.....I recognize that about this video and I've been there and and know all about the "angel"........Thanks for enlightening

  • krásný :DDDDD

  • What a fun song to listen to.

  • This song is beautiful <3

  • I want this song played at my funeral .. && Yes, your all invited because this beautiful song^ puts me into a good mood.. When I get back , this better be top comment <3 , c:

  • R.i.p dan my angel3 why did they have to take you.Miss my gorgeous boyfriend every moment3

  • i loled at "to feel not good enough" but nice song

  • RIP Shaelee McDaniel and Colton Cadeleria <3 You both were gifts from God. You were bright and beautiful people. May God bless you both. You are always missed <3

  • I'm always amazed that a song about doing heroin is so prominent at funerals and the like. It's an absolutely gorgeous song, but its about getting high on heroin and seeking a little comfort in depravity. And, yes, that really is what the song is about. Sarah even said so at her VH1 Storytellers and the lyrics back that up. Angel is one of the many slang terms for heroin.

  • @kidwajagstang Indeed, but what makes it so powerful is the way she weaves the use of heroin into a metaphor for the idea of escape, death being the ultimate.

  • @kidwajagstang - Music is like art.... it's based on the hearer's perception. I am so happy u brought this to our attention though because now the song makes more sense..... I think of the song as most do, which has to do with losing someone or people who are in unfortuante situations in life.....

  • @kidwajagstang I never knew that!!! That makes PERFECT sense!! Thanks for the info!

  • @kidwajagstang people find release from sorrow in all kinds of ways. so what if it's about heroin? addicts are people in great amounts of emotional, spiritual, and existential pain.

  • Wow, I came to this song because of the dog commercial just to hear the whole song. After hearing the song and reading everyones comments, with tears in my eyes, I realize pain and death really hurt. And if you see someone going through lost of family, depression, or any pain--- give them a hug and show them love. We don't know what life we may save. Love is the key for us all.

  • My mother died when I was 16 months old. They played this song at her fural. To got to the church, she was taken in a horse drawn carriage by two fresians. Everytime I hear this song I think of her. Love you mom and I hope u are happy with god in heaven. Rest in peace my beloved mom! I miss you and never got to meet u thank u for bring me into his life and I know u r smiling down on me and r my guardian angle. Love and miss u!

  • RIP Jennifer Marie Arce, you were an amazing, strong, and talented girl. It's been 3 months since you left us and we still can't believe your gone. We love and miss you so much. RIP beautiful girl.

    6/1/95- 12/3/11

  • love this song though

  • it's McLaughlin No offense

  • For all of you that have lost someone, remember that they aren't gone. Each and everytime that you remember them, even a mere fleeting thought, you bring them to life again.

  • Rip Courtney one year ago at the young age of 15 you took your life so you didn't have to suffer anymore. I love and miss you so much you were the neatest friend anyone could have. Today was just as hard as it was a year ago. I know you are okay now. Though I do miss you I know I will see you again one. I'm thankful to have such a beautiful angel like you looking over me. 10-25-95/1-3-11

  • @copperpaint

  • Rest in Peace Devon Robert Pritt

  • In loving Memory of Laurren Brook Smith... Three years ago cancer defeated you at the age of thirteen.

  • @tiphlock i don't know you, but god be with her. I'm sorry.

  • This song reminds me of my sister who died 3 years ago of cancer at 18.. I was 10 when it happened and it was tragic.

  • This song reminds me of my loved girlfriend who lost her father and mother :\

    She is so strong oh how beautiful she is.

  • "Angel" is a song by Sarah McLachlan that originally appeared on her 1997 album Surfacing. As McLachlan explained on VH1 Storytellers, the song is about the Smashing Pumpkins touring keyboard player Jonathan Melvoin, who overdosed on heroin and died in 1996.-Wikipedia. =)

  • @MrMufasaHaha sorry to hear about your lost be strong for your mom and sister.

All the good die young but you were too young. This song always makes me think of you. You are missid but NEVER fogotten and i love you so much. :,(

  • I hate that they pretty much degrade this beautiful song on that sad abused animal commercial. They really want money!

  • R>I>P BEN BREEDLOVE <3

  • R.I.P Nanny Elizabeth, Poppy Sam Collier and Frances Drew.We miss you

  • don't know why i know this song. :D

    but i love it! *-*

  • RIP Mom. You made have made mistakes but you didnt desreve death

  • This song always makes me cry.

  • When my 3 month old Doberman puppy was recovering from a broken leg and surgery, I played this song over and over to help calm her down. She had so much energy and not being able to move for 8 weeks, while we sat in a little indoor pen, was crazy for her. This song seemed to calm her. My sweet Gia, please forgive me for not protecting you.

  • @pnwmermaid

    Two years later her residual pain was too much and I asked my vet to put her down because she was so clearly unhappy. I let my girl down and I hope she can forgive me.

  • This song makes me think og abused animals......... :/

  • listen to it in spanish !!!!!!!!!!

  • r.i.p to all those people who have died from cancer! 

  • This was played at my fiancé's funeral when he died saving our girls from our house fire!

    R.I.P Jasper!

    Suzie, Talaya and I really miss you! Hope havens being good to you!

  • This song was written for Jonathan Melvoin, Smashing Pumpkins ex keyboardist. who died of a heroin overdose in 1996. RIP Jonathan.

  • This was played at my grandpa's funeral on Friday:( I love and miss you !

  • this song brings back 5 years ago when i lost my uncle. the last time i saw him was christmas day and a few days later he sadly past on. god bless him. R.I.P my dear uncle :/.

  • i don't take this song as a death, or an anthem to abused pets or the homeless. it's about an addict's struggle. the angel isn't an angel at all...it's the drugs, and the comfort they bring the addict.

  • @fitzgerraldx That may be what Sarah meant but I think that people can take it they way they want. I am an artist and I don't tell people how to interpret my art.

  • @fitzgerraldx Um actually I think the angel is an angel; She actually wrote this for a person who died of a drug overdose so it is kind of about death, but the angel is (I think) symbolizing the relief of all the pain, that he is being carried to a better place now, not the drugs comforting the addict. Oh, well, that's what I think, at least

  • @fitzgerraldx this song is about suicide

  • @fitzgerraldx This is how I've always seen it. I'm glad I'm not the only one that interprets it that way. XD

  • @fitzgerraldx Creative. I never thought of it that way, but I like that a song means different things for different people. This song reminds me about how I felt the day my uncle died, and I was in the kind of shock that leaves you in a weightless daze. But anyways, the drug reference makes a lot of sense.

  • Love dis song..going through hard times during this xmas but God will help me thru cos I saw a homeless with her kids sleeping in a car and I cant do anything to help in a frezzin weather but I consoled myself of problem cuz I have a shelther.

  • merry xmas
