【一天分享一首歌之第2天】

第二天，依然來聽一首療癒系的晚安曲：加拿大國寶莎拉克勞克蘭的這首〈Angel〉，無疑是她生涯最重要代表作，當年因為搭配電影《X情人》而在台灣也相當知名，我認識它則是在《Mirrorball》（水晶球）現場演唱專輯，她選擇〈Angel〉作為閉幕，琴音與歌聲繚繞，迴盪夜裡。

「在天使的懷抱中，遠遠地飛離此地（In the arms of the angel / Fly away from here）」，歌詞唱的是療傷和不捨，但樂音給人力量，離開的永遠離開了，留下的只能珍惜自己。如果天使明白，祂不只要撫慰那逝去的，也會好好看顧仍在的，輕聲告訴他們：「你並不孤單」吧？

所以我們需要音樂，正如我們需要彼此。第二夜，願大家都有個好夢。晚安了。

"Angel" written by Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay

There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard, at the end of the day

I need some distraction
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins

And maybe empty
Oh, and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back

The storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference
Escape one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness
Oh, this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
