Religous Meaning behind Angel's Wings

[Python423]

On a side note, when viewing the "When the Angels Sing" video, I saw the crosses and such. but also it shows the camera going by a picture of Elvis Presley. Among others, like Marther Luther king. It goes by quick, so I had to pause,go back etc.. I've saw alot of Mikes other influences (Johnny Cash,Jerry Reed,etc), but often wondered how he felt about Elvis. Which I consider Elvis the king of rock and roll, but all this was coming out before my time. But I remember loving Elvis as a kid. I guess Mike does consider elvis somewhat an influence to show his picture in one of his videos.

I just hope they will do a Video for "Angels' Wings". Right now unless I change my mind, I would want "When the Angel's Sing" and "Angel's Wings" both played at my funeral (whenever that maybe, 5 years from now, 20 years, or tommorrow). I thought better yet, if they could display it in video form it would be even cooler (as there already is a video for when the angels sing). But I'd have to carefully consider it to make sure it would be approprate.

ive got a good idea,we should enlist tipper gore and censor all of the social d songs.she can go back 27 years and fix all of the songs.
Mikes got the same problem we all have.devil on his left shoulder,jesus on his right.i was saved 20 years ago,its a constant battle.unless hes putting out a gospel album,chill out
and 4 the guy thats giving a verse 4 verse interpretation of when the angels sing,GET REAL.
That song means be strong at times that r tough.mikes life story.I could throw down some gg allin lyrics and relate them to the bible.your all scarin me.
Seperation of church and state.

I think if hes religious about anything, its his AA/NA.
I also think that hes very happy that hes inspired people with his lyrics, and thats the point, but some of you guys are reading way too far into this.
To state what is obvious to what I've seen, Mauer was the only one that was a hardcore Christian.
Regardless they have all been on the road for almost a year and a half straight... they're not stopping in random towns pulling the bus up to church on Sundays.
Love for God (higher power, etc) comes from within ones self, Religion comes from with out.
Religion is quite fascinating, but not to be taken too seriously... haha!! Just messin around...to each their own.

I was wondering if anybody had the version of Angel's Wings with the original lyrics? If so, please PM me--- I gotta hear it!

I certainly don't see any religious meaning behind the song. But then I'm very against all religion. Having said that, just because a member of a band might be Christian, or any other religion, I'm not going to hate them purely because of that. So, while I think Creed are a load of whining, arrogant, self-superior tossers, I love Seemless, the frontman (Jesse Deavid Leach) being a Christian. If Mike's a Christian or not, I don't care. He writes good songs.

This kinda symbolizes to me that when somone is down , they look up. Thats usually when someone comes to Jesus, as when they hit a bottom or crossroads. And Jesus tells us not to Fear.

<font size="2" face="verdana, arial">Jesus calls people "baby" when he's saving them? What sort of messiah is he?

This is probably one of my favorite songs on SL&RR; I never realized that there was a live version with alternate lyrics. I was wondering if someone could send me the live, early version of the song and/or post the original lyrics--- I would be most appreciative!
