My Angel

[intro: 70bpm, soft piano, ambient pads, vinyl noise, distant choir]

[verse 1: male, soft, intimate, close mic]
My angel, angel,
Are you watching over me?
My angel, angel,
Are you proud of me?
My angel, angel,
Do you live in everything I see?

Every day I miss you,
Reach out for your hand, it slips through,
Life was warmer when I had you,
Why do the good ones leave too soon?

[pre: male fragile | female very faint, whispered, airy texture]
I need you…
Still feel you in the quiet…

[chorus 1: male lead | female extremely faint, distant, breathy]
My angel, angel,
Are you watching over me?
(female: …over…)
My angel, angel,
Are you proud of me?
(female: …proud…)
My angel, angel,
Are you woven in my scenery?
(female: …every…)
My angel, angel,
Please be with me…
(female: …here…)

[verse 2: male, fuller, emotional strain]
So many things I wanna tell you,
Still searching for your point of view,
You always knew just what to say,
Now I’m learning the hard way…

Can you forgive my madness?
I’ve been drowning in the sadness,
Home don’t feel like home no more,
Just an echo through the door…

[chorus 2: male lead | female clearer, soft, airy]
My angel, angel,
Are you watching over me?
(female: watching over…)
My angel, angel,
Are you proud of me?
(female: so proud of you…)
My angel, angel,
Are you woven in my scenery?
(female: in everything…)
My angel, angel,
Please be with me…
(female: I’m right here…)

[bridge: male + female clear, warm, intimate]
(male) If I call into the night,
(female: I hear you every time…)
(male) Will it reach you in the light?
(female: I’m closer than you think…)
(male) Do you hear me when I break?
(female: I’m holding every piece…)
(male) Every prayer I try to make…
(female: they all reach me…)
(male) I keep your voice inside my head,
(female: I never really left…)
(male) Every word you ever said,
(female: I meant them all…)
(male) But silence answers back instead…
(female: listen… I’m here…)

[shared: male + female, clear, intimate, no effects]
I’m still with you…

[final chorus: male + female blended, emotional lift]
My angel, angel,
Are you watching over me?
(female + male: watching over…)
My angel, angel,
Are you proud of me?
(female + male: proud of you…)
My angel, angel,
Are you somewhere I can’t see?
(female: just beyond your reach…)

My angel, angel…
Wait for me…
(female: not yet… live for me…)

Emotional piano duet, male lead, female whisper to warm vocal, ambient pads, choir, slow cinematic build
