1) A british indie rock band.
2) A norwegian indie rock band.
3) A Korean post-punk band.
1) Cheap guitars, stand-up drumming and a band who genuinely gave a fuck about something – the Williams formed in a grim northern town in 1987. Scunthorpe in 1987 was like any other industrial town, local bands played local public houses and the Williams didn’t want to be part of that. Brought up on independent labels, sha la la flexis, 60s classics and throwaway pop The Williams wanted to be part of something bigger. This unlikely trio consisting of brothers Alan (guitar and singing) and Paul Fairnie (two drums and a cymbal and most of the words) and bassist Ian Cummings [he sings too] were pretty much hated by the muso scene of Scunthorpe. It was always about attitude – they couldn’t play that well but managed to get three songs together for their first gig at the Baths Hall in august 1987, from then on they set about playing with most of the burgeoning indie scene. Alan’s fanzine Get That Anorak Off helped launch the flexi "I Know I’m Nothing Special to You", even getting airplay on the John Peel programme (and they thought he’d choose Esmerelda’s Kite) and they built on their reputation as enthusiastic upstarts to go on and play with Pale Saints, The Telescopes, The Sainsburys, St. Christopher, Sea Urchins and eventually a six date tour with Primal Scream by then adding additional guitarist Rob Dillam (who later joined Adorable) Having seen their sound mutate from chiming guitars and simple lyrics to a more sustained assault of noise (blame My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur) the Williams decided a change of direction was in order in late 1990. They changed their name to Sunburst, then Super Electric,[who have their own music uploaded somewhere on this site] they found the harmonies of Brian Wilson, the groove of Sly Stone and the attitude of the Who – invented Acid Modernism and promptly self destructed. Some times Northern towns get their revenge. "I Know I'm Nothing Special To You" is available on The Sound of Leamington Spa Volume 4 on Firestation Records.
2) The Williams - Of Norwegian origin, or more precisely; Norhern Norway. Though now situated in Oslo, The Williams inspiration and temperament has still much of the arctic character. As the music is in the contemporary lo-fi indie genre, things are done simple, with a clean touch. Everything is also done with real instruments and sounds. And as the lyrics goes darkways with regular people's everyday situations, you might think of...? Influences is basically all good music. The songs that made us what we are; the songs that saved our lives. The Williams is fronted by lead singer Nagel. The band was formerly known as Maverick X. http://www.myspace.com/thewilliamsno
3) After a series of well-received live shows, the group finally released their debut album, Love Child. It is inescapably indebted to the post-punk movement. while the obvious comparison for The Williams is Joy Division, the band's love of all things 80s shines through. Album opener 102 is pure Jesus and Mary chain fuzziness, 마취 is a loving tribute to The Smiths, and album closer 아진 is Cure-esque gothic.
Angel
The Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
The Williams's song "Angel" is about finding comfort and protection in the idea of having an angel watching over and guiding us through life. In the first verse, the singer wonders if their guardian angel is contemplating their fate and knows the places where they will end up in their old age. They believe that salvation allows an angel's wings to unfold, implying that the belief in a higher power can give us a sense of safety and comfort.
In the chorus, the singer expresses their love for their angel and how she offers them protection and unconditional love, regardless of whether they are right or wrong. They believe that their angel will never forsake them, even if they are going through a difficult period in their life.
The second verse further emphasizes this idea of finding hope and strength in their angel's presence, even when they feel weak and helpless. The singer looks towards the sky and feels blessed with love that breathes flesh into their bones, implying that their angel's love is what gives them strength to keep going.
Overall, the song is a tribute to the power of belief and finding comfort in the idea that we are not alone in this world. The singer finds solace in the belief that they have an angel watching over them, offering them protection and love.

I sit and wait
I am waiting for an angel to contemplate my fate
Does an angel contemplate my fate
I wonder if an angel is thinking about my destiny
And do they know
Do they have knowledge of
The places where we go
The locations where we end up
When we're grey and old
In our elderly years
'Cause I have been told
Because someone has informed me
That salvation lets their wings unfold
Angels can spread their wings through salvation
So when I'm lying in my bed
When I am laying down
Thoughts running through my head
Having thoughts pervading my mind
And I feel the love is dead
When I'm not feeling loved
I'm loving angels instead
I redirect my love towards angels
And through it all she offers me protection
She always protects me
A lot of love and affection
With infinite love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
Regardless of if I am correct or incorrect
And down the waterfall
Through difficult times
Wherever it may take me
No matter what direction it leads me
I know that life won't break me
I am confident that life won't destroy me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
She will not abandon me when I need her
I'm loving angels instead
I direct my love and admiration towards angels
When I'm feeling weak
During times of vulnerability
And my pain walks down a one way street
When my emotional pain feels unbearable
I look above
I look to the heavens
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
I am confident I will always be truly loved
And as the feeling grows
As my love for the angel grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
It revives my body and soul
And when love is dead
When love seems to be absent
I'm loving angels instead
I redirect my love towards angels
And through it all she offers me protection
She constantly protects me
A lot of love and affection
With infinite love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
Even if I make mistakes
And down the waterfall
Through challenging times
Wherever it may take me
Regardless of where life takes me
I know that life won't break me
I am confident that life won't defeat me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
She won't leave me when I need her
I'm loving angels instead
I direct my love and admiration towards angels
And through it all she offers me protection
She always provides protection for me
A lot of love and affection
With infinite love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
Regardless of whether I'm accurate or incorrect
And down the waterfall
Through adverse times
Wherever it may take me
Wherever I go
I know that life won't break me
I am confident that life won't defeat me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
She won't abandon me when I need her
I'm loving angels instead
I'm directing my love toward angels

The real reason singers became world wide pop stars and his solo career blow up was because of the freemasonry hand signs he show`d again and again. The 2 popular hand signs M J used often were 666 and devil horns.
In most cases the singer shows at least 4 hand signs and these are:
666
devil horns
one eye
tongue showing aka mocking.
The talent may be there, but the hand signs must be there. Thats how a soul becomes a “rich and famous” singer or actor.
