What Neil had to say about this song: "This was originally from an album called 'The Story Of My Life' that never came out except for the title song. It was an album that Columbia wasn't in love with, so eventually I scrapped it and waited for the next inspiration to come along. There was a lot of personal stuff on this album, some written after the death of my father, some about our relationship. 'Angel Above My Head' tells my own story of trying to cope with my father's passing and trying to remember what he told me about going on. It's definitely a personal song that touches on a very sad nerve for me. My parents always supported me in whatever I did, whether it was music, fencing or school. I think that's important. I miss him a lot."

the album that Neil describes was at a time according to an unauthorised biography that claimed that Neil took Columbia records to court to get more creative freedom on this album that this song did not appear on but Neil gave in and fitted in with record company executives given it was a period when Neil's records were not selling what they used to, these were accounts given by so called staff and executives at the time that gave their comments to the biography
