Angels Calling is a song by The Tenors. It is played regularly on the Zoomer FM classical music radio station - “Beautiful music for a crazy world.”
It is one of those songs requested as a tribute to a loved one who has passed away.
Can’t you hear the angels calling, me up? Up above? Can’t you hear the angels calling me home? Me home?
Where is home?
From Wikipedia: "In the New Testament, the existence of angels, just like that of demons, is taken for granted. They can intervene and intercede on behalf of humans. Angels protect the righteous (Matthew 4:6, Luke 4:11)They dwell in the heavens (Matthew 28:2, John 1:51), act as God's warriors (Matthew 26:53) and worship God (Luke 2:13). In the parable of the Rich man and Lazarus, angels behave as psychopomps."
And a psychopomp? That’s a guide of souls. Their role is not to judge the deceased but to simply guide them.
That’s the key to this song seems. It is compelling and comforting as it gives the sense in the music and lyrics of being guided and taken care of.
How would you know when you look up that you are being guided by the angels?
I think these are the clouds that go with the song. That guide one up.
