    This song came out at the tail end of the hair-metal era, in 1990. "Fly to the Angels" was off Slaughter's debut album, which ROCKED. "Up All Night" and "Spend My Life" were also awesome tracks off that album. They kind of petered out after grunge music took over the airwaves, but there's no denying Mark Slaughter (yes, that was his real name) had an incredible voice!

    One of the greatest stories I can never forget about this band. I was driving to school I believe it was my senior year. It took roughly 30 minutes to get there. Dj for one of the radio stations is taking morning request, opens up the line. Guy request Slaughter says he was at the concert a couple of nights earlier and then ended up running into slaughter at like an IHOP. Told about how Slaughter came over to his house and jammed at his house until the early morning and were really nice people. The DJ basically calls the guy a liar and treats him like an ass. Couple songs later, the Dj comes on and says he wanted to apologize to the previous caller, they have Mark Slaughter on the line. They patch him in so he is on air. He then corroborates events of the evening. Tells the DJ thank you for his time, thanks his fans, thanks the guy that let him hang at his house.

    The reason why those girls were singing at the top of their lungs Up all night is because that is the name of one of Slaughter's other hits that you need to check out if you haven't already reacted to Up all night? Fly to the angels is my other favorite song by Slaughter. And Fly to the angels has an Amelia Earheart reference to it in my opinion but it might just be me.

He always swore that this was the best song ever written. I can't listen to this song and many others without thinking of him. Sometimes I still cry, when it comes on the radio.

    I grew up in Vegas, I got the opportunity to meet all of the members of Slaughter a few times. Mark lived a few blocks from me in Green Valley and Dana played cards with my friends dad. One of the saddest days I still remember is when Tim died. I used to see him at 7-11 and say hi to him.. they were down to earth good guys. I feel fortunate to have grown up in that city and at that time...Still one of my favorites.

      I just watched an interview with mark slaughter and cindy was a girl he dated in high school that he wanted to reconnect with after coming back from being on the road only to find out she had died and her funeral was the next day, so what you heard is pretty much true. He said it felt like the song almost wrote itself, he went into the service and there were roses everywhere and he had been thinking about her and that is when the lines came to him, fly to the angels, flowers bloom in your name.

    This was the VERY END of this kinda music. 1991 was already pushing it. As soon as Nirvana and Pearl Jam hit later that year, this music style was flying to the angels lol. Usually music slowly morphs into the next thing, but this time it was 2 completely different kinds of music that came from different worlds and it was an abrupt change. Mr Bigs " to be with you" in early 92 was the very last song of this sort and I think that only slipped through because of the MTV "unplugged" concerts, where the focus was on normally-electric bands playing acoustic. Unplugged was huge and encompassed all kinds of artists

I lost my Mom (my best friend) last April and have been sooooo struggling with it. Grief is a fickle thing. It never really goes away; we just scar over the wound but it's always there with us for the rest of our days, waiting to bubble up -- OR ERUPT like a volcano. This song epitomizes that struggle of not wanting to let them go but recognizing that it's their time to soar.
