You are my angel
Come from way above
To bring me love
Her eyes
She’s on the dark side
Neutralize
Every man in sight
To love you, love you, love you, love you. History:
Originally, Angel was intended to be a very different sounding song, as it was to be a cover of ‘Straight To Hell’ by The Clash that would have also have included a sample from an old Sex Gang Children record. For this cover version, 3D had earmarked Horace Andy as being the ideal vocalist but by the time it came to record his vocals in London’s Olympic Studios they hit a snag. Horace learn to play piano Andy, a religious man, was unwilling to sing the word ‘hell’ in The Clash song so at the last minute, unexpectedly Massive Attack were forced to improvise a new song on the spot to accomadate Horace Andy’s refusal.
In the space of merely four hours, they stripped away much of the originally prepared track, wrote a new melody around it, halved the tempo and removed the Sex Gang Children sample entirely. Finally to use as lyrics for this new untitled song, they took the lyrics almost directly from Horace Andy’s own song You Are My Angel. Additional Info:
Angel was the third single released from Mezzanine
Horace Andy is credited as Horace Hinds on Angel as this is has real name with ‘Andy’ being his stage name.
It is quite probably the most used Massive Attack song in both TV and movie soundtracks ever having appeared in countless different filmed media.
