We Were Alive!This name was discarded because there had been a group with the same name in the 1960s.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Angels recordings, and the production of the recordings is as important to me as the songs themselves.Most of the instruments used in the recordings are acoustic, but not all.On the other hand, just sitting around my house, writing these things, and finally coming up with a statement that I think makes sense, I want to bring them to life as much as possible, in new and challenging ways for both myself and you, so I always strive to present them in a fresh and interesting context.The Angels of Light provide a somber, introspective survey of anguished emotions.Both ceremonious and sacrificial, the evocative and haunting nature of Gira's Angels Of Light suggests a dreamlike state in which things crawl forward at a slow, opiated tempo.The featured track, "Praise Your Name," from The Angels of Light's 1999 debut album, New Mother, exemplifies the aura that surrounds their music.The Angels of Light are a mature succession to Gira's previous projects.Other Suggestions:

332,306 plays scrobbled on Last.Gira talks about the the Angels project :
I write the songs on acoustic guitar, then gather musicians and friends, and build up the orchestrations with them in the studio and in live performances.My goal is to achieve the same sense of magic I experienced as a child listening to Burle Ives recordings of Brer Rabbit and other such marvels, including the early Disney children's records I listened to long ago.Loving this so far, letting it grow on me.The Angels of Light Is extremely good!You most likely enjoy The Angels of Light, so why not enjoy groups that enjoy The Angels of Light: Quiet Music Should Be Played Loud.Just might be one of my new favorite songs.We Are Him is truly great.Sweet Jeebus, what an amazing album!Please do not change that picture.If you'd like to add some events for The Angels of Light then you can do so on this page.Angels of Light, a beautiful serene calm takes over.Gira does not want is for his words to be misunderstood, even when their meanings are cloaked in impenetrable metaphor.Gira has a gift for turning the ordinary into poetry, and that gift is in full form on ..."Family providing constant chatter and tense, often dissonant musical layers.Gira has, however quietly, immortalized these twelve characters with his songs.Were that we could all have a Michael Gira to do the same for us.We Are Him showcases a side of Michael Gira that shares more in common with, say, Jim Thirlwell than it does Johnny Cash.Yea Big and Kid Static: Yea Big and Kid Static
