Angel (Sarah McLachlan song)
"Angel" (sometimes mis-titled in non-specialist sources as "In the Arms of an Angel"〔Ebony - Oct 2007 - Page 194 "He decided against killing himself while back in the United States after hearing on the radio Sarah McLachlan's song "In the Arms of an Angel." " and other examples〕 or "Arms of the Angel") is a song by Sarah McLachlan that originally appeared on her 1997 album ''Surfacing''. As McLachlan explained on ''VH1 Storytellers'', the song is about the Smashing Pumpkins touring keyboard player Jonathan Melvoin, who overdosed on heroin and died in 1996.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Drugs in Songs )〕
"Angel" was McLachlan's second consecutive top five hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, debuting at number twelve, and then jumping to the top ten the following week, before peaking at number four. It remained at the top ten for nineteen weeks, and for twenty-nine weeks in the top 100. "Angel" was the eighteenth most successful song of 1999.
==Background==
"Angel" was one of the first songs written for ''Surfacing''. McLachlan said that writing it was easy, "a real joyous occasion."〔 It was inspired by articles that she read in ''Rolling Stone'' about musicians turning to heroin to cope with the pressures of the music industry and subsequently overdosing.〔〔 She said that she identified with the feelings that might lead someone to use heroin: "I've been in that place where you've messed up and you're so lost that you don't know who you are anymore, and you're miserable—and here's this escape route. I've never done heroin, but I've done plenty of other things to escape."〔 She said that the song is about "trying not to take responsibility for other people's problems and trying to love yourself at the same time".
