(1)Angus is a Dutch heavy metal band formed in 1983. Claiming the name was inspired as much by their favorite guitar player, AC/DC's Angus Young, as by their favorite breed of Scottish bull (they claimed that the animal's rugged disposition typified their sound), vocalist Edgar Lois, guitarist Ed Sprey, bassist Gerard Carol, and drummer William Lawson first began tormenting neighbors in their native Amsterdam circa 1983. Typical of most Dutch heavy metal at the time, the band's raw, energetic style was indebted as much by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal as the older regime of the 1970s...and, yes, a little AC/DC as well.
Angus recorded two songs for the compilation album ‘The Heavy Touch’ in the summer of 1985. Together with five other promising Dutch Metal bands ‘The Heavy Touch’ went on tour throughout Holland. ‘Lonesome Fighter’ (a composition of bass player Gerard) was one of the best songs of ‘The Heavy Touch’. The release of the compilation album was considered a success, due to record sales and a lot of media attention.
In the summer of 1986 ‘Track of Doom’ was released. This debut album was produced by the four band members their selves and was full with excellent speed metal, which despite a low budget, did sound very good. Holland was shaking on his boots when ‘Track of Doom’ hit the national radio stations and TV channels. With songs from this album, Angus made it into the Polish metal top 20. Bear in mind that Poland at that time was still a socialist country behind the iron curtain! A new Dutch tour was set and due to promising record sales and positive feedback from fans and media, the album was released at the beginning of 1987 in the USA through Restless/Enigma Records. The label responsible for the success of bands like Poison and Stryper.
In the year 1999 Denis Gulbey of Sentinel Steel Records got in contact with William Lawson via The Dutch Heavy Metal Maniacs, who compile songs from Dutch Metal bands on limited edition CD’s. Denis’s interest in Angus got drummer William’s old Metal heart pumping again. Denis and William tried to find old Angus material. After a while, the master tape of ‘Track of Doom’ was found in the vault of CBS records in Los Angeles. The unmixed reels of ‘Warrior of the World’ were found in the archives of the Dutch Siesta sound studios. These analog reels were converted to digital tapes and were remixed and mastered in the Trax East studios in New Jersey. By that time, Denis Gulbey had signed Angus for the releases of both ‘Track of Doom’ and ‘Warrior of the World’ on one Sentinel Steel production.
April 2007 is Angus after almost 25 years of their start back in track with Leon Z. on vocals, Patrick Kruijer on guitar, Charles Heijnen on bass and William Lawson on drums to set the world again on fire with a reunion concert on december 22th in Germany at a huge festival.

Stranger
Angus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We move through the crowd.
I kissed your lips,
There was no one around,
There was no one around.
In a house made of glass,
There's a boy throwing rocks.
Your hearts all you got,
Yeah your hearts all you got.
And it's been so long,
Since you've been round.
I've never missed a stranger before.
I think it's nice
It's Judas's call
I've never missed a stranger before, like you.
She wore lace round her hair
And she looked like a queen.
With eyes so fair,
She was something of a dream,
Yeah she was something of a dream
Cause it's been so long,
Since you've been round.
I've never missed a stranger before.
I think it's nice
It's Judas's call
I've never missed a stranger before, like you.
Cause it's been so long,
Since you've been round.
I've never missed a stranger before.
I think it's nice
It's Judas's call
I've never missed a stranger before, like you.
The song "Stranger" by Angus & Julia Stone is a ballad that touches on themes of love, loneliness, and the unexpected connections we make with people we don't know. The first verse sets the scene in a sunset park where the singer and their love interest are walking through a crowd, and they share a kiss with no one around. The second verse introduces a boy throwing rocks in a house made of glass. He loves deeply because your heart is all you've got. The chorus repeats the idea that it's been so long since the stranger has been around, and the singer has never missed a stranger before, like this one. They think it's nice, likening it to Judas's call.
The chorus repetition sends out mixed signals. It's both sad and exciting, almost as if the singer is reminiscing a time of love that has gone by but also relishing the feelings that have been left behind. The lyric "I've never missed a stranger before, like you" is powerful because the singer is admitting some level of vulnerability and revealing that despite not knowing this stranger, they miss them. The other lyrics like "In a house made of glass" and "She wore lace round her hair" describe the setting and the appearance of the people involved in the song. It's a simple, yet beautifully written song that leaves room for interpretation.

I don't listen to this kind of music. I preffer violent drops of dubstep. But this is just amazing. And it's not just this song, other songs from these artists as well. You Sir (and Ma'am) have my respect!
