Overall Meaning

"Eurythmics" was a British pop-rock band from the 1980s. The song "Angel" is from their album "We Too Are One" released in 1989. The song has a very catchy and upbeat tune, which is very typical of 1980s pop music. The song is about the power of imagination and how it can take you to another world.


The song's chorus is "Whoa oh, I've got an angel." This could mean that the singer feels that they have found someone special who brings them happiness and comfort, just like an angel. The phrase "The power of imagination goes right to my head" suggests that the singer has a vivid imagination, and the world they imagine is better than the real world. They could be referring to a lover, who brings joy and happiness to their life, but this is left for interpretation.


The phrase "Time is time, it's time to kill" can have different meanings. It could mean that time is just a concept that we created, and it's wasted if we don't use it effectively. Alternatively, it could mean that the clock is ticking, and the singer has something important to do. The repetition of the phrase in the song's ending adds more emphasis to its meaning.

She is a real diva. So much control on her voice , no autotune shit just pure and amazing talent.

@eugenioyanesvalero9024

Wonderful voice!!

@elonmuskeli6871

Perhaps it is because autotune wasn't even invented when the song was recorded.

@CamPalinSmith

Her voice sounds even better on vinyl. Got every Eurythmics LP (barn their debut and the last one) on vinyl. Fantastic, especially the 'Savage' album.
