Gabriel's Oboe
Chloë Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel

I can love

But I need his heart
I am strong even on my own
But from him I never want to part
He′s been there since the very start
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel

Bless the day he came to be
Angel's wings carried him to me
Heavenly

I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel

My angel, my angel, my angel
Gabriel, Gabriel

I was lead to this video from listening to Chloe singing Nella Fantasai live with Cetic woman and the gentleman playing the oboe is her Dad, David Agnew. Chloe is the beutiful lady you see at the start of the video, see her sing this with David on the Oboe solo on Celtic woman on here, she's amazing, melt your heart. and filmed in the gorgous gardens of powerscourt House in Co Wicklow here in Ireland.

@colarefreshing If you ordered a copy of the sheet music, it would give you the melody as well as the piano accompaniment. You just have to make sure that the music you order is in the same key as the music you already have for the oboe.

When i hear this, it invokes such emotion, so that I feel I could gently raise the oboe and produce these wondrous sounds. But then the video ends...... and I realize that if i did so, me with an oboe would sound much like a duck or goose being squeezed very hard. (so again I click on replay).

@jkun1

This just inspired me to keep on playing the oboe right as I was thinking it sounded like a duck haha I guess it's just school oboe's.

@aholinka Well, how about this. Since the video and song people are looking at on youtube, put the name of the person performing in it. Even though Chloe is walking around, I would hardly say she's performing - she's just there as it's part of her album. The person being listened to is the man. I watched this waiting to hear Chloe sing and was confused from hearing an oboe with no Chloe. I think you should put the guy's name and indicate Chloe's album in the description. :)

@aholinka; Gabriels's Oboe composed by Ennio Morricone and peformed here with David Agnew. Otherwise it is Plagiarism. Proper Order or 'credit' where it is due alongside with the artists.

@trasiano

Tan solo sé decir: Que después del Gran Oboista Vicente Fernández Martínez, él lo ha hecho muy bien. Ennio Morricone estaría muy orgulloso de él.

Did I miss Chloe 'performing', like it says in the title?

@aholinka This credit should actually go to the composer who wrote the music, he doesn't even get a mention, get his name right next time folks, ENNIO MORRICONE, amen
