Magnum are a band I have heard of for years, but to my shame never really given much of a listen to. I am in the process of changing this. Wild Angels is a recent single, which had quite a bit of airplay on Planet Rock earlier this year.
I would not pretend to know what the lyrics are about, and do not want to make a guess either. I find the song to be both catchy and singable.
Like a lot of songs there does appear to be a sense of longing, or searching within the lyrics. We all are searching for something to satisfy that inner yearning. For me it is my Christian faith that sustains in the time of trouble, or bewilderment.
Enjoy what I think is a truly cracking song, the clip below was recorded in Southampton in April this year.
Nobody's leaving this world tonight
The way I'm feeling, we'll be all right
So many people, going nowhere
The poor forsaken, nobody cares
I wonder what you're thinking
I don't know where you are
Can't stop my heart from sinking
Before it gets too far
Wild angels in the sky, baby
Diamonds fall like rain
Nobody told you why, baby
Isn't that a shame?
The room is empty, the city sleeps
We pass by gently, and shadows creep
But come tomorrow, there's no relief
And I'm still looking in disbelief
I wonder what you're thinking
I don't know where you are
Can't stop my heart from sinking
Before it gets too far
Wild angels in the sky, baby
Thunder in the air
Don't let it make you cry, baby
You won't have a prayer
Something out of nothing, tell me if I'm right
Stranded here forever, take me home tonight
Maybe let it happen, keep it in your mind
Maybe there's no answer, don't get left behind
Wild angels in the sky, baby
Diamonds fall like rain
Nobody told you why, baby
Isn't that a shame?
Wild angels in the sky, baby
Thunder in the air
Don't let it make you cry, baby
You won't have a prayer
