This song is one of those that really moves me.I love it.I can remember listening to it whilst camping up in the Victorian high country on a crackling tape deck where we couldn't get any radio reception.Beautiful song.!
No hidden meanings , no Satanic Verses , no Sympathy for the goddam' Devil here , just a li'l ditty 'bout us badass Canadian rednecks and the women who love us . Gotta like it!
This song just touches my soul! I lost my wife last Spring n the Joplin tornadoes.
It reminds me of where we last lived and the promises life promised at that time. I now know that places,m things and monetary things are not so important. I miss you, Gina!
I listened to this album almost constantly while recovering from a failed suicide attempt which involved me stepping in front of a pick-up truck on the interstate going 65 MPH when I was 19. I was deeply in love and my life fell apart, my love was leaving. This song in particular, helped me feel less alone in my pain while I spent a year having surgeries and learning how to walk again.
it does make you cry. I was driving from SF to Sacramento with the Setting Sunset and this song moved me so much I had to stop for being unable to keep driving with so many tears on my face. She does have a powerful voice. She is a gifted singer. Kudos
I listened to this song because it's the namesake for Melissa de la Cruz's book 'Misguided Angel' in the Blue Bloods series. The lyrics to the chorus are in the epigraph of the book. :) I've come to love it very much!
The entirety of this group's catalogue surely grants them a place of significance on one of Dante's rings of Hell. For unwitting listeners who are are currently in the sway of full blown "Cowboy Junkie" mind control, an exorcism is almost certainly required. I suggest the priestly radiance that is George Michael, singing "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go". It's proven a "cure-all" in ridding weak minds of the scourge of simpering, simply unbearable 'Merchants of doom, drek and depression."
Greatest song on the best album by a simply awesome group. Simply is the right word; go to any show and Margo will spend time afterwards with all of the fans. Peter is super shy but extremely polite and generous. I love not only their music, but them also. They are genuinely nice.
This song still brings tears to my eyes... I can almost feel her breath on my ear as she sings the chorus during our last dance together. 16 years since she... passed. She called me her misguided angel. She feared my capacity for violence, admired my sense of honour and loved my willingness to defend anybody who could not defend themselves. The last line hurts, since I can (and do) still love her, but she cannot love me back.
@ProudlyMadeInCanada Well take solice in the fact that you loved her till she passed...that is a devotion unlike any other...but i bet she was worth it..Hold that high...and I know what you mean in hearing her breath and voice and for me so much is remebering when we touched...it was all that combined that made me feel both the way i always wanted but vulnerable at the same time...just wish I was strong enough to deal with the second feeling when I was lucky enough to have the first
@ProudlyMadeInCanada Damn, you did it again! (I cried again when I read your post for the second time... it's so, so heartbreaking...) Thanks buddy and all the best...
@grrrlshawn Indeed, it's the first song along with Blue Moon that I remember my father showing me. They've remained till this day to be one of my favorite songs.
@65dfincher i found him...& its killing me. that's why i wanted to hear this. it reminds me so much of him. i watch him fight his fights, i know how much he loves me, there's nothing i can do.
Got to agree there. How does one have a "heart like Gabriel" ("pure and white as ivory") but a "soul like Lucifer" (black and cold like a piece of lead)?
Yo Slim Shady... love is patient, and kind etc etc... xox gosh i love u even more after all them lives a blink behind this one... *sigh... xox
Yes, i see Leigh Bowery ("papa") in some of ShadyLady's ways...let's face it ... if Eminem were a drag queen he'd be the biggest loudest proudest homo on earth; flamboyant & insanely creatively talented like the fashion designer he is either way
: Leigh Bowery did for transvestitism what Marshall did for hip hop (goy beorge is a retard wannabe)
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Isaiah
this song is so real...shes not singing about a lazy bum ha u dont get it.....i dont know if u should wish this love on anyone but if u make its so worth having
@gary "u fools this = a song 2 Satan, they even call him… Lucifer" Um, no. It's called "poetry." Each word isn’t meant literally. They’re called "simile," "metaphor," "irony," & "allusion." There r great sites on the web that explain it all. They say if yr only tool = a hammer, everything looks like a nail. If yr religion = the only way u deal w/ life, everything looks like a Bible story. But that's not how most of us work. But I won’t b rude & call u "fool" 4 not knowing this.
@tamerswan Gee, I'm a fat ol boy from FLA and I first heard this 30++ yrs ago and understood it on the spot. It's not a girl thing it is a state of mind and a choice of how to live.
I was in a pretty good mood. Then I listened to this song and my mood just went right downhill into depression. This is really horrible depressing music.
@MrsSippingWhiskey No, saying that listening to a song made me depressed is not being a "dumb cunt". Calling me a dumb cunt for that actually makes you the dumb cunt. That means you, that means andreisimion as well. wtf is wrong with you vicious apes?
@SarahRachel59 - wasn't asking , simply making a statement - had you posted " in my humble opinion this is really horrible depressing music" I would've said " in my opinion you're a dumb cunt " ; you didn't so I didn't , we all got a right to an opinion . I hope your mood improves soon , let me know .
@SarahRachel59 No idea what that means - up here , in the True North , Strong and Free we only troll for salmon and codfish ; what I'm doing is sweet-talking you !
@SarahRachel59 How is it depressing? It is simply about a delusional dummy who is trying to convince herself she in love with an underemployed, exceedingly well hung,criminally inclined moron.
@squeekybluecheese Contrary to popular myth, the album was not entirely recorded in one day. In the hustle of the first recording session, the band forgot to record "Mining for Gold". Margo and Moore recorded the song a few days later during the Toronto Symphony Orchestra's lunch break.
@doubleder i had never even heard about that, we just talked about this album in my audio engineering class because of the way they recorded with the one mic.
Handymandan I for one don't need some damn authority figure telling me what to do, I left my parents and grew up I suggest you do the same stop asking permission to be alive and waiting impatiently to die. You religious types really get me you need fairy stories and a goodnight kiss to make you world okay. Well it's not okay and your father figure doesn't exist so get over it.
@shane013a Don't even bother replying to those religious freaks. God is real, but these tossers need to add there own opinion on what the song means, warp it and share there stupid meanings! I't makes them feel they are wise to all that is said and happends in this world. Never blame God for the shit that comes out of there judgemental heads, they are human like the rest of us and use their time to make people hate God, and cause SHIT.I undersand your anger, but don't give them the attension.
Does it really matter what this song is about. In the tradition of classic lyrics it is the various images that are so beautifully conjured up to various listeners that make this stand out from the sing a long I love you's that clog up the airwaves.
Wow! I've never heard this song without the last few seconds before. That is, with the singing being the last thing you hear. And whadayaknow, it WORKS!! Sweet! Oh, and this is Cowboy Junkies' best song, bar none.
@garyzw It is not a song to Satan. She is describing a lover to her family members and speaking of the contradiction in his personality. Before she mentions Satan she mentions Gabriel. Despite his flaws she loves him.
@garyzw Good grief, get over your fearmongering nonsense. I grew up in the Christian church and am still a pricticing Christian but this kind of garbage is just that...garbage! What makes you an authority on the meaning. Some wednesday night gathering with a bunch of bookburners playing songs backwards and making up some kind of mssg.
@FXMAN66 What the hell are you talking about? That fag gary is just a blockhead but you are not too much better. How is the doosh 'fearmongering'? He is just stating that he thinks it is a song that describes Satan. Who burns books and plays songs backwards anymore, anyway?
@chelseagurl97 What the hell are you talking about? I was actually referring to the post by smartalek1 to Gary when Gary stated the song was addressing satan. Go read the original post idiot. Wait, I will bring the post to you...""u fools this = a song 2 Satan, they even call him… Lucifer" I was agreeing with smartalek in regards that not everything should be turned into some scary message in a song. You obviously misunderstood. U a bitter sounding bitch!

You obviously misunderstood. U a bitter sounding bitty!
@chelseagurl97 Bitch was a little harsh so I adjusted accordingly. As for who burns books anymore...You are not too familiar with what still goes on in the world are you? Big difference it are the Bibles getting burned now.
@FXMAN66 Well what am I, a bitch or a bitty?Way to let Christ shine through yourself by calling those stationed above you bitches,bitter bitties and idiots. You must be a contemporary 'Christian' who does no worldly good for anyone, running around reaching out to Muslims trying to impress them with how tolerant you are, and your church probably feeds maggoty panhandlers when it should be organizing a crusade or leading a parade of flagellants through town.
to all the misguided angels out there...if you find her who understands this song...hold her close because if you lose her you may not be able to replace her...and you all know this is is what we need... hold love close ...it's worth it
@pinkjava72 It is the way sometime huh...but never forget what you found, even if you didnt do what you should have to hold on to her ....if you remeber her and her love...then that is somthing...and that will always be right
I am a "her who understands this song". I didn't plan it and when the pain became too strong, I almost forgot that I started out to be a tender-hearted, loving and gentle woman who wanted only to believe in the good in the "misguided angel" I loved beyond measure. I am a "her who wishes she didn't understand this song" but I am grateful for the strength God gave me to hold strong in what I knew to be true. It IS indeed, a beautiful song with a powerful meaning.
so so true my friend. I once had that good girl many years ago........but being young and naive..........I didn't realise how precious it was what I had...........'til it was gone.
@someguy2099-Your wisdom speaks to the pain, passion & need in a woman's heart & soul. As the Misguided Angel, painful love we had but my love just wasn't enough. They say, "Better to have loved than not at all." I say, don't waste precious time. He died & left me with nothing, would never let me have his child. After 3 years of devastation & isolation, I found my true angel but will never share the joy of bearing his child. Our tragedy, as it's too late for me. My regret, unselfish love.
@TheRealCrimsonSorrow Well I can not speak for any man but myself...and I know with all my faults I would not be the man I AM now..(even though far to many times I am lonely)... I became a better man because the gift that is a womens love was giving to me, I bear the scars from being a misguided one both inside and out....funny how comforting vice is but how painfull wanting more is...as I said if i find "HER" again I will not let her go
I just noticed, her voice reminds me of Joni Mitchell's (and the tone of the song is like Mitchell, too). I loved this song the first time I heard it about 20 years ago, when I was 15. It speaks a truth about love between man and woman, from the woman's side. Not the story of everyone, but a real and profound love story, nonetheless.
Junkies are up there with Neil, Joni and Leonard for their contribution to the Canadian songbook. This song makes me want to smile and cry at the same time.
I love this song more than I can express. It's one of the prettiest melodies I've ever heard. And I have been secretly in love with Margo Timmins for 20 years. I think their show at the Beacon in New York in 1992 with John Prine is the best I ever saw.
Sometimes... I am so glad I am sober because the past can just creep up on me like a monkey on my back.. And this girl doesnt deal with fucking monkeys anymore
We're just a band that likes this music. We're just looking to be heard, if you would actually take the time to listen one of our songs on our channel and comment, we would really appreciated it, since you're here and if you like this music you already listen to some great music on our opinion. Thanks Peace.
My favorite album of the 80's, hands down. Margo's voice is totally mesmerizing. I have the album on cassette and CD so I can listen whenever and wherever I am.
last two comments. please use sentences. Seems to me its about a "bad boy" that a real quiet, maybe mousey girl falls for. Real mismatch. But it works! seen it! Lived it...
What this song is about is her Lover who is scary and yet nice he sounds like a loser but she loves him and feels that she is being misguided By Him she does not want to be alone so she settle
Oh god how I love this woman, her voice and the images her songs conjure.True talent and stars are not those with Stadium sellout tours or multi billion seling albums.True talent your name is The Cowboy Junkies.
I saw them some years ago in Lisbon and it aws one of the concerts of my life, maybe because they are one of the bands of my life.Since I heard from the first time The Caution Horses my life were never be the same.
For Tracy, if she ever gets round to seeing/hearing it. You are a wonderfull person and someone very dear and close to me. I hope these words can be an inspiration to you and the choices ahead.
@importantwoman So do I importantwoman! My late wife turned me on to them while living in Denver years ago. Had the fortune to see them at the Paramount Theater in Peekskill about 2 years ago and got to speak to the lead singer. Sorry can't remember her name. richard
They played this song at festival boreal in sudbury ontario a few years back and I soaked hubbys shoulder lol it makes me really cry COWBOY JUNKIES YOU ROCK I wish you can come back to Sudbury
Briliant and most flattering song. When I listen to this song and dream away I almost could be certain that I am this misguided angel Margot is singing about and that just feels so right, you know.
btw I'm missing the whole sister story, a whole couplet is cut out of this song

The entirety of this group's catalogue surely grants them a place of significance on one of Dante's rings of Hell. For unwitting listeners who are are currently in the sway of full blown "Cowboy Junkie" mind control, an exorcism is almost certainly required. I suggest the priestly radiance that is George Michael, singing "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go". It's proven a "cure-all" in ridding weak minds of the scourge of simpering, simply unbearable 'Merchants of doom, drek and depression."

@garyzw It is not a song to Satan. She is describing a lover to her family members and speaking of the contradiction in his personality. Before she mentions Satan she mentions Gabriel. Despite his flaws she loves him.

@garyzw Good grief, get over your fearmongering nonsense. I grew up in the Christian church and am still a pricticing Christian but this kind of garbage is just that...garbage! What makes you an authority on the meaning. Some wednesday night gathering with a bunch of bookburners playing songs backwards and making up some kind of mssg.

@FXMAN66 What the hell are you talking about? That fag gary is just a blockhead but you are not too much better. How is the doosh 'fearmongering'? He is just stating that he thinks it is a song that describes Satan. Who burns books and plays songs backwards anymore, anyway?

@chelseagurl97 What the hell are you talking about? I was actually referring to the post by smartalek1 to Gary when Gary stated the song was addressing satan. Go read the original post idiot. Wait, I will bring the post to you...""u fools this = a song 2 Satan, they even call him… Lucifer" I was agreeing with smartalek in regards that not everything should be turned into some scary message in a song. You obviously misunderstood. U a bitter sounding bitch!

@chelseagurl97 Bitch was a little harsh so I adjusted accordingly. As for who burns books anymore...You are not too familiar with what still goes on in the world are you? Big difference it are the Bibles getting burned now.
FXMAN66 1 year ago
@FXMAN66 Well what am I, a bitch or a bitty?Way to let Christ shine through yourself by calling those stationed above you bitches,bitter bitties and idiots. You must be a contemporary 'Christian' who does no worldly good for anyone, running around reaching out to Muslims trying to impress them with how tolerant you are, and your church probably feeds maggoty panhandlers when it should be organizing a crusade or leading a parade of flagellants through town.

I am a "her who understands this song". I didn't plan it and when the pain became too strong, I almost forgot that I started out to be a tender-hearted, loving and gentle woman who wanted only to believe in the good in the "misguided angel" I loved beyond measure. I am a "her who wishes she didn't understand this song" but I am grateful for the strength God gave me to hold strong in what I knew to be true. It IS indeed, a beautiful song with a powerful meaning.

@someguy2099-Your wisdom speaks to the pain, passion & need in a woman's heart & soul. As the Misguided Angel, painful love we had but my love just wasn't enough. They say, "Better to have loved than not at all." I say, don't waste precious time. He died & left me with nothing, would never let me have his child. After 3 years of devastation & isolation, I found my true angel but will never share the joy of bearing his child. Our tragedy, as it's too late for me. My regret, unselfish love.

@TheRealCrimsonSorrow Well I can not speak for any man but myself...and I know with all my faults I would not be the man I AM now..(even though far to many times I am lonely)... I became a better man because the gift that is a womens love was giving to me, I bear the scars from being a misguided one both inside and out....funny how comforting vice is but how painfull wanting more is...as I said if i find "HER" again I will not let her go

I just noticed, her voice reminds me of Joni Mitchell's (and the tone of the song is like Mitchell, too). I loved this song the first time I heard it about 20 years ago, when I was 15. It speaks a truth about love between man and woman, from the woman's side. Not the story of everyone, but a real and profound love story, nonetheless.

I love this song more than I can express. It's one of the prettiest melodies I've ever heard. And I have been secretly in love with Margo Timmins for 20 years. I think their show at the Beacon in New York in 1992 with John Prine is the best I ever saw.
