1. A New Wave of British Heavy Metal band from Oxford, United Kingdom, founded in 1981.
2. A female gospel group from New Orleans, founded in 1997.
1) Virtue (Oxford, UK)
Virtue was a NWOBHM band formed in 1981. They released a 7" titled 'We Stand to Fight' in 1985 on Other Records. The 'Fool's Gold' demo was released independently by the band in 1987 on cassette tape when the originally planned vinyl EP failed to come to fruition due to financial issues and label complications.
The band's first demo Virtue-Defenders was released on tape in 1984: At that time the band consisted of the Sheldon brothers Matt and Tudor, Metcalfe, Reader and Lewington. As the result wasn't satisfying the band almost split-up. The lineup was almost completely revamped then, with the Sheldon brothers being the only remaining members.
1) Virtue (New Orleans, LA)
Virtue, a sophisticated trio recognized as women of high standard and impeccable grace are known within the music industry for their beauty and cutting edge style. Looks are not deceiving when it comes to these three. If their beauty draws you to them, the depth of their message will satisfy your soul. Hailing from New Orleans, LA, the group promotes a message of faith, hope, and positive self image through their music and personal lifestyles. We need to let women know that its time to stand up for what is right. We have to dress, talk, and act like women who are mothers, sisters, wives and even girlfriends. Speaking of girlfriends, the members of Virtue are not only biological sisters, but also friends. They affectionately refer to themselves and their close knit girlfriend circle as H.A.G.G.S. Don't be alarmed, though, it's not because they don't think highly of themselves or their friends. It's actually quite opposite. HAGGS is a term of endearment reserved solely for the Honorable Ambitious Gifted Gorgeous Sista who upholds the belief that it is time to stop being mundane and do something great.
In addition to their gospel music projects, Virtue is also establishing the Virtuegirl network that seeks to mentor other young women toward positive personal enrichment. Often compared to the soulful styling of En Vogue and Destinys Child, the group comprised of sisters, Ebony Trotter Holland, Karima Trotter Kibble, and Heather Trotter Martin, continue to remind us that they are dedicated to leadership by example. The Dove and Stellar Award nominees have 5 successful projects to their credit with the 6th album, Testimony, that was released in 2006
Angels Watching Over Me
Virtue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I have no fear
They tell me He loves me
Whisper in my ear
It means the world to me
To have them near
These are my angels, over me
And before His face
They carry the light of love
Cover me with grace
They wanna to see me
Complete this race
These are my angels, over me, help me see
I got angels watching over me
(Watching my way both night and day)
I got angels watching over me
(Fanning away the hurt, the pain)
I got angels watching over me
(They'll never fly away)
Angels over me
They silently hold me
With their mighty wings
When I cry, they console me
With the songs they sing
And when I sleep, they watch over me
Fan away evil things
These are my angels, over me
Said we don't even notice
The protection they give
Fell asleep on the road and yet
I continued to live
Sometimes I even wished that they
Wouldn't answer my call
But unwavering angels, they just won't let me fall
I got angels watching over me
(Watching my way both night and day)
I got angels watching over me
(Fanning away the hurt, the pain)
I got angels watching over me
(They'll never fly away)
Angels over me
(Over me)
Over me, over me
I got angels watching over me
(Watching my way both night and day)
I got angels watching over me
(Fanning away the hurt, the pain)
[Incomprehensible] angels
(They'll never fly away)
