==Background==
==Background==
"Angel" was one of the first songs written for ''[[Surfacing (album)|Surfacing]]''. McLachlan said that writing it was easy, "a real joyous occasion",<ref name=CMJ /> and that "the bulk of it came in about three hours". 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, most notably [[Jonathan Melvoin]], a keyboardist for [[the Smashing Pumpkins]], who died of an overdose in 1996.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISHRr29MaFs&t=99 Sarah McLachlan explaining her inspiration to write 'Angel'] (interview discussing Surfacing CD, posted to YouTube on 9 December 2008)</ref><ref name=CMJ /><ref name=Spin /> 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."<ref name=CMJ /> 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".

"Angel" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan. The song first appeared on McLachlan's fourth studio album, Surfacing, in 1997. The lyrics are about the death of Jonathan Melvoin (1961–1996), the Smashing Pumpkins' touring keyboard player, from a heroin overdose,[1] as McLachlan explained on VH1 Storytellers. It is sometimes mistitled as "In the Arms of an Angel"[2] or "Arms of the Angel".

"Angel" was McLachlan's second consecutive top-five hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number four. It also spent 12 weeks at number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, placing as the number-one song on that chart for 1999. In McLachlan's native Canada, it reached number seven on the RPM Top Singles chart and number three on the Adult Contemporary chart. Outside North America, the song has charted in several countries in the years following its release, including reaching number seven in Ireland in 2002 and number nine in Norway in 2008.

Background

"Angel" was one of the first songs written for Surfacing. McLachlan said that writing it was easy, "a real joyous occasion",[3] and that "the bulk of it came in about three hours". 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, most notably Jonathan Melvoin, a keyboardist for the The Smashing Pumpkins, who died of an overdose in 1996.[4][3][5] 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."[3] 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".

Composition

The song has a sparse arrangement—mostly McLachlan at the piano, with subtle upright bass played by Jim Creeggan of Barenaked Ladies. It was recorded in the key of D-flat major.[6] For live performances, it is transposed up one half-step to D major, the key it was originally written in, and played without the bass.

Chart performance

Released as a single in 1998, "Angel" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 on February 22, 1999 (spending 19 weeks in the top ten),[7] finishing as the 18th most popular song of the year.[8] It reached number one on three Billboard charts: the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart,[9] the Adult Top 40 chart,[10] and the Top 40 Tracks chart.[11] It spent 12 weeks at number one on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, finishing as the number-one song of the year on that chart.[8] In McLachlan's native Canada, "Angel" peaked at number seven on the RPM Top Singles chart in February 1999,[12] ending the year as its forty-eighth most successful single.[13] It also peaked at number three on the Canadian RPM Adult Contemporary chart.[14]

In the years following its release, "Angel" has charted in a large number of countries. In January 2002, British producers Rollo Armstrong and Mark Bates (as their joint venture Dusted) created a remix that peaked at number seven in Ireland and number 36 in the United Kingdom.[15][16] In 2008, "Angel" charted in Norway and peaked at number nine for two weeks.[17] The following year, it made a brief appearance on the New Zealand Singles Chart, debuting and peaking at number 36 in July.[18] The song has charted in Austria and Switzerland on several occasions, peaking at number 17 in both counties,[19][20] and it also reached number 57 in Germany in October 2012.[21] The following month, it debuted and peaked at number 77 in France.[22] During its original release, "Angel" peaked at number 99 on the Dutch Single Top 100, but it reached a new peak of number 31 in February 2014.[23]

Live performances

On April 8, 2000, McLachlan performed "Angel" with Carlos Santana on guitar at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California. The show was televised on Fox TV and released on the DVD Supernatural Live – An Evening with Carlos Santana and Friends. On July 2, 2005, McLachlan performed this song at Live 8 Philadelphia with Josh Groban. She also performed the song during the "Concert for Linda," dedicating it to the memory of Linda McCartney. On September 10, 2011, McLachlan performed the song to close the ceremonies at the dedication of the Flight 93 Memorial in Stonycreek Township, commemorating the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93 who fought the hijackers and brought down their airplane in the September 11 attacks. On Sunday, November 23, 2008, Sarah McLachlan performed "Angel" at the American Music Awards with artist Pink. On May 21, 2019, McLachlan sang "Angel" on the sixteenth season of the US competition series The Voice as a duet with the eventual winner of the show, Maelyn Jarmon. On April 21, 2020, McLachlan and her daughter, India Sood, performed a duet, posted to Facebook, as a response to the killing spree in Nova Scotia.
