However, unlike Kylie, Abi has not succeeded in having any large hits in the United Kingdom or North America and it wasn't until 2003 that her debut album Dreamworld was released. Not a musician afraid to experiment with her sound, she tried out a heavier rock style, forming short-lived band Bully during the late nineties whilst living in the UK. Abi is well known as a live music performer in Sydney whilst her songs have also appeared not only on The Secret Life of Us album but as well on the soundtrack to the movie Angst (where she plays the part of May). She also contributed backing vocals to some songs on David McCormack's debut solo album, Candy in 2002.
Abi appeared in the play Breakfast with Jonny Wilkinson at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Speak My Angel
Abi Tucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
as I work a way out, and that's why,
it hurts to be alone sometimes
So where are whe going?
It's not that I'm needing to know
I'm no longer hung up on those things
This might take a little while
Wanna see my angel
I will sing for you angel.See you again
Part of me knows the truth
No promises and that's understood
These guarantees are overlooked
and I'm a little confused
Time to speak my angel
Wanna see my angel
I will sing for you angel.See you again
Wanna see my angel
I will sing for my angel
I will sing for you angel.See you again
The echo quietens.Low tide
If it's a dog eat dog world, then I won't survive
The setting sun breaks.Low tide
One boat sails while the others capsize
Time to speak my angel
Wanna see my angel
I will sing for you angel.See you again
Wanna see my angel
Now to speak with my angel
I will sing for you angel
I will sing for you angel
My angel, my angel, my angel, my angel, my angel, my angel
The lyrics of Abi Tucker's song "Speak My Angel" detail the singer's inner conflict as she struggles with feelings of indecision and insecurity. In the beginning, she describes her environment as "Indecisive morning and cold," setting the tone for a day that feels uncertain and uncomfortable. She acknowledges that it can be painful to be alone, but also acknowledges that she is no longer "hung up on those things." Despite this, she still feels unsure of where she is going and what she wants, admitting that she is "a little confused."
The chorus of the song is an appeal to some kind of higher power or guiding force - her "angel" - for clarity and insight. The repetition of "Time to speak my angel/Wanna see my angel/I will sing for you angel/See you again" seems to suggest that the singer is seeking some kind of divine intervention or wisdom in order to find her way. She acknowledges that she knows "the truth" of the situation, but also recognizes that there are "no promises" for how things will turn out.
The final lines of the song evoke a sense of resignation and acceptance. The "echo quiets" and the singer watches as the world around her changes ("One boat sails while the others capsize"), but she seems to have found a kind of peace in her connection to her angel. The final repetition of "My angel, my angel, my angel, my angel, my angel, my angel" feels like a mantra or a prayer, a reminder of the singer's hope for guidance and support.
