Lily
I remember hearing this song about 15 years ago when I first saw Bis ans Ende der Welt [aka Until The End Of The World]. Years later, it was played again in another movie called Rock The Boat back in the late 90's, about a crew of HIV+ sailors on a Trans-Pacific Yacht Race from California to Hawaii. Saw the movie with Alec [our very first movie together] at the time and ever since, this has been our song.
Tomorrow night we're going to go see Ms. Siberry at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. No doubt it'll be a spectacular show. I just know it. Have a listen... I hope you'll like it as much as I do.

CALLING ALL ANGELS
Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah
Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Dominica, Mary Angelica
Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronella
Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir
and all the rest
a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
and high above the church bells start to ring
and as the heaviness the body
oh the heaviness settles in
somewhere you can hear a mother sing
then it's one foot then the other
as you step out onto the road
how much weight? how much weight?
then it's how long? and how far?
and how many times before it's too late?
calling all angels
calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
calling all angels
calling all angels
we're cryin' and we're hurtin'
and we're not sure why...
and every day you gaze upon the sunset
with such love and intensity
why it's... it's almost as if
if you could only crack the code
then you'd finally understand what this all means
but if you could... do you think you would
trade it in
all the pain and suffering?
ah, but then you'd miss
the beauty of the light upon this earth
and the sweetness of the leaving
calling all angels
calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
callin' all angels
callin' all angels
we're tryin'
we're hopin'
we're hurtin'
we're lovin'
we're cryin'
we're callin'
'cause we're not sure how this goes...

I love that song! I used to have a version of it as a duet with KD Lang...I've got to find that again!

I know this is late news, but you are so bloody lucky! I love Jane Siberry. I got to see her once back in 1990's while visiting family in British Columbia.
