[edit] Subject of the Song

The article currently states, "Lyrically Lennox sings about a woman who has taken her own life and now has "gone to meet her maker" as an angel."

I've always interpreted this song differently: Lennox became pregnant in 1987 during the recording of Savage -- we see her anxieties as a soon-to-be mother in the video for "Wide-Eyed Girl", for example.

Sadly, her child was stillborn. I've always interpreted "Angel" as being the sad sequel to "Wide-Eyed Girl": a farewell to the child she wanted but lost, and not to a grown woman. --Heath 69.174.67.197 19:41, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
