Story

Original artist: Aretha Franklin

Vocals, piano, bass: Victoria Lye

Drums: Jannik Schubert

It’s a cover of the Aretha Franlin’s song that her sister Carolyn wrote for her. In 1973 she released the album “Hey now hey” that wasn’t very successful, but “Angel” in it was definitely a hit.

Aretha Franklin is the artist that influenced and inspired me the most. For me it’s the best voice on Earth, so soaring and powerful. The vibe of the “Angel” gave me the desire to sing and to play it myself on the piano and to record it.

It’s about love, loneliness, and hope.

Lyrics

Gotta find me an angel (angel)
To fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel (angel)
Ooh and set me free (set me free)

My heart is without a whole,
I don’t want to be in love
I gotta find me an angel (angel)
In my life, in my life

Too long have I loved
So unattached within
So much that I know
That I need somebody so

So I’ll just go on
Hoping that I find me someone
Gotta find me an angel
In my life, in my life

I know there must be
someone somewhere for me
Oh I lived too long
without the love of someone

There’s no misery ooh
like the misery I feel in me,
Gotta find me an angel
In my life (he’ll be there, now don’t you worry)
In my life (keep lookin’ and just keep cookin’)
In my life (he’ll be there, now don’t you worry)
