Gabriel

This song is so hauntingly sad for some reason...I really love it. Her voice is from Heaven.

God, this song is so brilliant. When she says "wings" and it echoes, it sends shivers down my spine and I feel all goosebump-y wonderful. XD

So, what I think this song is about is the speaker (not necessarily the lady singing, god forgive me that I don't know her name) has found the one she feels that she's destined to be with, this "Gabriel" fella, but she's a strong woman and she doesn't want to change her lifestyle. She knows that she can make it without him even though she wants to be with him, thus the "I am strong even on my own / But from him I never want to part ". She's torn between giving in to what she really wants, a life with him, and the comfort of the life she's lived because she knows she'll be fine by herself. She also knows though, that being with him will give her something she's never had before, "I can love / But I need his heart ". So, I think it's ultimately about the speaker lady struggling to deny the love she feels for this man and failing in the end. After all, how could you deny your love for an angel?

^_^ And that's my little bit...

I concur with everygeek . she has quite a few songs that pertain to her child, pregnancy and miscariage. I beleive that the theme of this song is "unconditional love" the kind a mother has for her child. She is an adult that can shine, fly, love, stand without him, a parent is not suppose to be dependent on a child, it's the other way around. But still she craves to be with him, to hear his babbles, cries and songs...She is already complete but she loves and needs him by her side. I just had a baby and for me it was like falling in love with an angel God sent just for me, so I can see how this interpretation would fit.

As far as i'm aware the song was written by lou rhodes about her newly born son ( pregnant when recording the "What Sound" album )

Such a beautiful track and so universal - Its a pure love song at its most simple - Stunning track

I think this song is about being in denial about something that happened to you, and trying to get over it, by convincing yourself that you are better than you think you are. (I also think it is truly about the angel Gabriel)

Same here, this song just makes me cry over and over. I really wish I could be the Gabriel for someone, but hey... it's just a song.
