but sand;
the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.”

Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
We all have more
angels walking among us than we realize.
We generally call them our dear friends.
BONUS - Angels - Robbie Williams
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_%28Robbie_Williams_song%29:
| "Angels" is a song originally part written by uncredited
Irish songwriter, Ray Heffernan and covered by
Robbie Williams. Williams and
Guy Chambers were subsequently credited as "joint co-writers" and
the song was released as a single in December 1997.[1]
It became the singer's biggest selling single and has been voted the
best song of the past 25 years at the
BRIT Awards. "Angels" has since been covered by many artists
including
Jessica Simpson,
Beverley Knight, in Spanish (as Ángel) by Mexican singers
Yuridia
and
Marco Moré, in Italian (as Un Angelo) by
Patrizio Buanne,
All
Angels, singer
Declan Galbraith as well as
Verena Von Strenge's latest group, Moon Dust, and
American Idol series 7 runner-up
David Archuleta. "Angels" was the fourth single from Williams' debut album, Life Thru a Lens. It has been credited with saving the singer's floundering solo career, and is used to conclude almost all of his concerts. The song was the 38th best selling of 1997 in the UK, and the 26th of 1998. It was the 34th best selling single of the decade. Despite only reaching a peak of No.4, it is Williams' biggest selling UK single and according to Official UK Charts Company figures passed the million sales mark in June 2009, with a combination of both physical and download sales. It was released in 1999 in the U.S., after his debut of "Millennium." The U.S. released video has Williams atop a roof, watching the city below. "Angels" re entered the ARIA Top 100 at 91, on 5 May 2008.[2] Due to download sales, the song has re-entered the UK Charts on a number of occasions in recent years. The writing credits attributed to the song were Robbie Williams and Guy Chambers. However, it later emerged that an unknown Irish songwriter, Ray Heffernan actually composed much of the song a year earlier.[3] In an interview with RTE, Heffernan said that he met Williams in a Dublin pub and brought him back to his home where they embarked on a songwriting session. Heffernan played him the basis of what would become "Angels" and they recorded an early version of it. Heffernan acknowledges however that Guy Chambers later added the chorus. Heffernan was paid £7,500 for the use of the song, relinquishing any rights to royalties. He was uncredited as a songwriter but received a cryptic message on the CD, saying: "Even fallen angels laugh last, thanks to Ray Heffernan". Robbie Williams has said that he wrote the song with Guy Chambers in 25 minutes and the song is about his aunt and uncle. Williams and Chambers were sitting outside a cafe watching a water fountain, this is what inspired them for the chorus...[4] |
