Angel (Sarah McLachlan) - Allison Crowe live tv performance

Indie musician Allison Crowe performs, live-in-the-studio, one of her favourite songs by Sarah McLachlan, also a Canuck - and an early inspiration to the singer-songwriter from Canada's most western shores.

In featuring her musical force, the UNESCO-endorsed New Songs For Peace Project says: "Allison Crowe may not be well-known now but this young woman has the voice and talent to be the next Alanis or Norah. The raw emotions in her hauntingly beautiful rendition of 'Angel' should convince you of her potential." Music journalist Teri McIntyre, in a nod to the artist's iconoclastic approach, writes: "Crowe manages to give the song a refreshing, blown-out emotional take that, for some, may surpass the original."

This performance, broadcast, for years, each December across Allison Crowe's homeland, is part of her one-hour television special called "Tidings". It's produced by Doug Slack and his team at CHUM TV's "Inside Pandora's Box".

A live-in-the-studio recording of this song appears on Allison Crowe's "Tidings" CD album.

Angel

Words & Music by Sarah McLachlan
As performed by Allison Crowe

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps through my veins
that may be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escape for one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness, oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
