This is impossible.

So I will go for a variant.



Angels, overblown glurge with delusions of grandeur? Or one of the best power ballads of the '90s. (Or, very possibly, both)

And yet, while I mock (with some affection - the lyrics are tosh, but the music is effective), I am also wallowing in nostalgia, because I remember singing this with my utterly loveable mad-as-a-hatter high school form tutor, and at the same time remembering a time, several Christmases ago at the German market. Now the market has/had for unknown reason, a grud-awful German faux-oompah singer massacring popular songs. He was cheerfully awful (not as bad as me but ...). I was out with P and some of the rest of the Birmingham lab lot and he was singing Angels.

There was this moment of unity, like everyone within singing range joining in, in the spirit of brotherhood and what not, and you know what, it's still overblown glurge but that was properly joy to the world and the spirit of the season.

That is a good song with good feels, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
