In the Arms of an Angel - Roshan James (Sarah Mclachlan)

In the Arms of an Angel - R... Lyrics & Chords

Heres another song sung by my wife. One of our favorites by Sarah Mclachlan. I’m sure this song holds a special place in the hearts of those who’ve seen the movie City of Angels… You will connect with this song more if you pay attention to the lyrics.

I’ve assisted Roshan with the harmonies on this one and hence it makes this our first project together.

Lyrics:

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there’s always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me 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
and the 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
escaping 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 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
you’re in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Awesome singing Roshan – you should post more often. George the harmonies were subtle and beautiful. Congrats on your first project together, and expecting more.

Probably one of my most most favs.,

You sure should be an angel to have a voice AND sing like this, Roshan! Bless your voice….

George- harmonies were very tastefully done and unobstrusive…

To my favs

This is very smooth….Texture of the voice is very soothing….

Harmonies go very well….and sounds different….:)

Great Team work….

Finally I heard what I asked George 2 years back….Roshan should sing more…. :)

Critical points:

- It could be more confident on throwing the words….

- Not sure if I have right/knowledge on English song like these ones….But I think it would sound better to me if words are uttered clearly….instead of getting mixed in Piano sound….Please ignore if I don’t make sense anynore…. :D

Hi Roshan & George!

You have a wonderful voice! Supperbbb singing! Awesome feel and expressions! Not a big listener of English music i must admit… But then love listening to such soothing ones, which ever language it may be!

Lovely singing! Loved tht crack in the voice you gave at the place where you sang “So Tired….” It really gave the feel of a tiresome person singing! Awesome!

Goes to my favs! Loved it thoroughly!

I swear I replayed this cover abt 20 times, over & over & over again. Such a sweet voice, it bypassed the crust, mantle & core and settled somewhere deep in my heart. All the possible praises have been showered before me. I am not able to put words together to express my delight.

I feel I am not worthy enough to even comment, and I am being extremely frank here.

Pure Awesomeness !!!!
