Yes. Ladies and gentlemen; It is time for another song-lyrics related blog. Only because I was listening to this song, and I noticed literary terms in it that coincide with our poetry unit! Oh snap! Seriously speaking, I love the song "Angels" by Robbie Williams to bits and pieces because my boyfriend, Chris, told me it was 'our song.' It has deep meaning to me, especially because I've been lucky enough to hear him sing the song to me. He sung the song to me one evening was when I was severely depressed. An emotional wreck of sorts, and that was around last July.

And because the two of us are especially dorky, he would replace every part of the song that said 'Angels' with 'Cindy.'
Some of the lines outshine the rest, and it's these lines that will make -any- person who chooses to sing/recite the lyrics to someone, the true romantic.
"and through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I’m right or wrong"
Right there, we get to see a bit of Robbie Williams experimenting with rhyming his verses of lyrics. A part of me is caught off guard seeing a guy admit to the fact that his woman is protecting him in a sort of way. Not to be sexist or anything, but normally, guys will take pride in and brag about being the protector of someone, and the dominant one in a relationship. [Hetero-sexual relationship speaking.] The idea of someone loving you no matter what happens though, is something we just don't see in modern music all that much either, and its' refreshing to find a song that actually discusses that.
"and as the feeling grows
she breathes flesh to my bones"
This segment of figurative language is probably one of my favourite in the song; it's rare to find someone who really does 'bring you to life' like what Mr. Williams is talking about.
The man who sings this to me is my angel.
