Lost Angel
Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As it was before shall it ever ever be
Hear it on the crying wind
Heart it weeping on the sea
Through the winder valley wild and through the darkest night
Here comes the evil news of the coming fight
So love bring your birds bring your feathers of peace
All through the storm let the tides release
Love bring your birds bring your feathers of peace
All through the storm let the tides release

[Chorus:]
Come on down lost angel find us now
From the clouds above right down to the ground
Come on down lost angel find us now
From the clouds above right down to the ground
Lost Angels come on down

Stardust yeah we are and the river is pushed to bend
Too much too much of man
And stardust we will someday be again
Oh love bring your birds bring your feathers of peace
All through the storm let the tide release
Love bring your birds bring your feathers of peace
All through the storm let the tide release





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Heart's song Lost Angel depict a call for love and peace in a world of darkness and turmoil. The song opens with an allusion to the cyclical nature of life, as the phrase "as it was before shall it ever ever be" suggests a repetition of events and struggles. The verses describe a world of chaos and violence, with "evil news of the coming fight" spreading through the land, and the natural elements of wind and sea echoing the sorrow and pain of the situation. In this context, love is the only hope for salvation, and the singer implores it to "bring your birds bring your feathers of peace" and help calm the storm and ease the tides.


The chorus expands on this idea of salvation, as a "lost angel" is called upon to "find us now" and bring hope and light to the world. The imagery shifts to stardust, which symbolizes a connection to the universe and the potential for renewal and regeneration. The ending lines echo the opening ones, as the song emphasizes the cyclical nature of life and the possibility of a new beginning.


Overall, Lost Angel is a poignant plea for love and peace in a world torn apart by violence and darkness. It suggests that even in the midst of chaos, there is always hope for renewal and regeneration, as long as we keep searching for it.

What a masterpiece of a song. Criminally underrated!

Don Jack

For me this is Mistral Wind Part II. Wasn't surprised when I read Craig Bartock saying how they build it kinda like Mistral Wind (and it was originally longer with string arrangements)

Alan Johnson

One of Heart's BEST songs

Spike

I was at this show... tripping over my face after working a double, then driving 3 hours just to be there.. YES! it was worth it! Jupiter's Darling definitely like most of all of Heart's other albums & talent, severely underplayed, underappreciated and underrated

Jared O Lantern

Jupiter’s Darling is such an underrated album.
