1. The British hard-rock outfit … Read Full Bio ↴There are three bands by this name:
1. The British hard-rock outfit Little Angels formed in Scarborough, England in 1987 while its members -- vocalist/guitarist Toby Jepson, keyboardist Jimmy Dickinson, his guitarist brother Bruce John Dickinson, bassist Mark Plunkett and drummer Dave Hopper -- were all attending university.
At the outset, the group was forced to hone their craft primarily in area schools, as Jimmy Dickinson was too young to play clubs. Originally dubbed Mr. Thrud, Little Angels issued their debut mini-LP Too Posh to Mosh (recorded with new drummer Michael Lee in 1987.
After winning a loyal following on the strength of their live performances, including an opening set for a then-unknown Guns 'N' Roses, they were signed to Polydor, releasing the full-length Don't Prey for Me in 1989. Produced by Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero, 1991's Young Gods attempted to break Little Angels in America, a move which proved unsuccessful. Mark Richardson joined the band on drums in time for their third album, Jam, Still, the group's fanbase at home continued to grow, and 1993's Jam even debuted at the top of the British charts. To the surprise of many, Little Angels then disbanded, with the 1994 release of the retrospective Little of the Past marking their passing. The Dickinsons later resurfaced in b.l.o.w.
Lead vocalist Toby Jepson now sings for Scottish rockers - GUN! Jepson also has released 2 EP's with a view to doing a 3rd this coming summer.
2. Pittsburgh punk band on Kill Enemy Records featuring members of Speed Plans, Barlow, Joose, and Ex-Pilots.
3. The Little Angels is an all-female folk-ballet troupe established by members of the Unification Church to attract positive attention to Korean culture and in particular to act as goodwill ambassadors for South Korea. It was founded by a former Korean military attache, Lieut. Colonel Bo Hi Pak, a top aide to Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon in 1963. The group continues to perform to this day. The Little Angels are supported financially by the Tongil Group, a South Korean business group associated with the Unification Church, though the Tongil Foundation.
The First Cut Is the Deepest
Little Angels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taking just all that I had
But if you wanna try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
If you wanna try to love again
Try,
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'Cause if you wanna try to love again
(Try to love again, try to love again)
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to being lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse
The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
(Try to love again)
The lyrics of Little Angels' The First Cut Is the Deepest speak to the pain of heartbreak and the difficulties of opening up to love again. The singer laments that he would have given his heart to someone, but it was torn apart by someone else. He acknowledges that he is afraid to love again because he knows the first cut is the deepest. However, he also expresses a willingness to try again if the other person is willing.
The use of the phrase "the first cut is the deepest" is a metaphor for the emotional pain of heartbreak. The first time someone experiences heartbreak is often the most intense and difficult, which is why it is compared to a deep cut.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of bad luck in love. The singer suggests that the person he is addressing is cursed when it comes to being lucky in love and worse when it comes to loving him. This suggests that the singer has experienced disappointment in love before and is wary of it happening again.
Overall, the song is a poignant and emotionally resonant exploration of the pain of heartbreak and the fear of opening up to love again.

Yet again a band that could and should’ve been bigger than they were.
Maybe the grunge genre got in the way or poor management or maybe they just drifted apart.
Regardless this is a decent cover and it’s a 👍
