Social Distortion - When The Angels Sing

LYRIC : At last we meet again, dear god
When the angels sing
The funeral's are nicer, when we know you're there
And the angels sing
Sometimes I try so hard to understand the things you do
Who am I to question you when it all comes down
Hear the angels sing
Stand up strong feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and death don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
The prisoners pray when they're on death row
When the angels sing
The junkie cries for love, but its all run out
When the angels sing
The sins of the world, and its cold on the streets and you're all alone
And the tears they start to fall when it all comes down
Hear the angels sing
Stand up strong feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and death don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
Little by little, day by day
Watch the children play
Cause life and death don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing
When the angel of death, comes a looking for me
Hear the angels sing
I hope I was everything I was supposed to be
When the angels sing
There's gotta be a heaven, cause I've already done my time in hell
And a little babies bawl, when it all comes down
Hear the angels sing
Little by little, day by day
Watch the children play
Cause life and death don't mean a thing
Till the angels sing

Nel 1985 a 16 anni ho cominciato ad ascoltare i Social Distortion e la musica hardcore/punk , mi ricordo che già lavoravo in fabbrica e non vedevo l'ora di tornare dal lavoro per ascoltare ad alto volume questa meravigliosa band e altri vinili punk come i GANG Green, M. D. C. Circle Jerks, Adolescents, DxRxIx e molti altri ancora , non vi dico le litigate con mia madre perché il mio stereo hi-fi era sempre al massimo volume, mia madre l'ho tirata pazza in quel periodo😂😂, ora ho 54anni e questi momenti me li ricordo come fossero ieri. I Social già negli anni 80' avevano molto successo anche qui in Italia🇮🇹 dove abito io e conservo ancora 5 album. Quelli si che erano bei tempi🤧. Vi auguro buona fortuna a tutti voi👍

why does mike ness look tiny in this video?

What a nice song

Today I lost a great friend. The kindest person you could ever meet. He loved him some social distortion. And I do too. His one just hit me in the feelers.

Thanks man a lot...so few care or even try to understand,and that's why this song is what it is to me...thanks again

STAND UP STRONG FEEL TALL WHEN THE ANGELS SING life and death dont mean a thing

I like putting this on when I I slam beers on Saturday morning.

See ya in Canada in October!! ❤

1996

It's probably a mere coincidence, but the chorus to this song has the same chords as the chorus to Comin' Home from KISS which was written in 1974. Go check it out. You'll hear it.

Some of the most profound words ever put to music 🎵 When ever somebody tells me this form of Rock N Roll has no substance I try not to laugh too hard.

This music brought so many different people and different perspectives. You have to be a certain kind of person to get Social D the way we do. Life gets easier believe it until the angels sing. God bless everyone 🙏🏼

Non-believer here but I love this song.

“There’s gotta be a heaven……..’Cause I’ve already done my time in hell…”

Brilliant songwriting.

Awesome song ( from Turkiye TR )

Rest in peace Matt rauf and Scott Bennett. We’ll all meet again when the angels sing for me. I love you guys

Sounds like “life’s a gas” 😬

May our fallen find the peace that the mortal world lacked, and that St. Michael strike down their demons. We have lost so many, so many taken too young. You are loved.

I don't believe in God but love Social D and do believe in this song. 🤘

Ironcross Brigade 💯👊❤️‍🔥

Oh my god why am I such a wussy crying to all these peoples responses? It is such a heart wrenching song. Thank you Mike for writing this for us all.❤😢 God bless

At last🖤🦅🥰❤️‍🔥🙏

I'm a late comer to this band. They were being played at the tattoo shop when I was last there, asked who it was, absolutely hooked since

I don’t like this one but Mike looked hot

I find these songs very uplifting for some reason. That is all for now.

Saw them in orange county in 03 was a lit show

Would be AMAZING if we ever got his in 4K. The music video along with I Was Wrong take the best Social D direction/cinematography award for me.

Does anyone ever think it's strange to see Mike singing while not playing a guitar? I've seen him ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS only ever singing with a guitar on his shoulder, so when they should the shots of him sitting on those steps in this video... it's not a bad thing.... but it just feels quite odd!

My best friends funeral was last week. We used to listen to this in HS when it came out. Listening to it now is bitterweet.

Reminds me of finding my mother dead on New Years day. I don't know why, but it just does.

haha they brought strippers to the Wake ,.lol nice, i want that at my funeral ! lol

Oh scrumptious

Putin still seeks revenge on Germans not just Hitler.

Real Germans NEVER liked Russia. Hitler is the only reason Germany isn't communist red. You need to wake up to this and fight the war for the good of humanity...!

He is such a Ness!

WoW 🤩

I hope they play this at my funeral. Sums up my life perfectly.

Coming back to this and seeing Dennis in the background is bittersweet.

All social distortion song like relevan with our story in life .

The quintessential song for anyone of US who go through any life due to what life brings.Ultimately mine

One of my best friends in the world. And We decided this is the song we're gonna play at our funerals.

❤❤
