"She Talks to Angels" is a song by the rock band The Black Crowes. It is the eighth track on their 1990 debut album Shake Your Money Maker and was released as the album's fourth single. The song made it to 30 on the US Hot 100.[1] The song hit number one as a single in 1991 in the US Mainstream Rock charts and number 70 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song is allegedly about a woman who lost a child (one of the "angels" of the title) and who now copes with her pain through the use of illegal drugs [2]. In 2010, Chris Robinson explained in a webisode (part of a promotional internet series for their 2010 Croweology album) that the song is about a goth girl he knew back in Atlanta and that was “into heroin”[3].
The song was also the inspiration for the name of an early 90s UK indie rock band called She Talks To Angels.
