This was the song I played at my daughters Funeral. Ever time I hear it I break down and start crying, it's been 10 years since she has passed. I don't think I could have picked a better song for her.
Think of us as souls that came to earth for a cause by their choice and done with it and left by their choice.. one of their causes was to touch you life and others who knew and loved them.. may your heart be blessed with comfort and joy 😍😍
Always be grateful for those strangers that come into your life when you feel at your lowest point and you just know you have been touched by an angel........
Thank you so much for over 2 decades of music that has literally pulled me through some dark times in my Past! I have such a deep inner standing today. God Bless You Ben!
looking for that elusive LOVE button....one of the most precious songs, presented in the most predious of ways - the singing, the guitar - love this Ben Harper - thank you, Elizabeth
It's sometimes hard to pick a favorite song by a great artist. When it comes to Ben this is hands down his best song ever lyrically, instrumentally and soulfully. Ben got me through a lost time in my life back in the 90s. Even now reflecting on his music, the power and the almost divine quality of his work shines on.
i have waited all my life to find him and in my 20 years, he is the only one that makes me feel like im constantly flying. after i had to leave him in arizona, i was on my way to california, listening to my ipod. he had secretly added this song as well as many others. as soon as i heard it, i could not stop crying. june is not soon enough for me to be back in my angels arms.
I only found out about this Artist through searching for Joshua Radin songs & how grateful I am. Amazing song, after readign comments & listening to the lyrics properly, it's one of those songs that will apply to everyone, because everyone is waiting for an angel & if they already have that angel, then they still remember what it was like soul searching & to those who think it's a message about how we all eventually run out of time, well that applies to everyone. Amazing song.
Un pouce car ça se voit que les photos ont été prises avec amour ...à première vue, celles-ci n'ont pas été retravaillées. Merci pour ce partage, c' est super ! Une Vidéo de ce titre qui fait vraiment du bien😘😘😘...reload.
I used this song as the background song on a video of my granddaughter's short 4 1/2 month life back in 2001. It just brings me to tears every time I hear it.
this song is totally about finding love in a lonely place. I found love in a lonely place i ended up marrying the girl of my dreams august 21st 2011 and i was totally suprised when my wife walked down the ile to this song. i knew she knew ben harper is one of my all time favorite musicians. when i was 11 years old i started to write my own music and i was totally inspired by this music.
Shortly before my dad passed, I asked him who he thought would be there to greet him, he said "man, I hope everybody I have known, and God too of course"...I'll never forget that night, he was helping me wash my newborn baby's bottles; As God brought an angel into my life a month and a half later He took one as well, and a year and 10 months later took another angel, my mother, my 2nd born child was just 4 months old. I cling to His promise that I will see them both again one day. I love you Mommy and Daddy ❤
I listened to this song for the first time a few years ago, but I didn't know the songs name but now I found it and my heart feels like I don't have a word for it.
For all you people waiting out there: don't worry, all of you will find someone who fits you so very perfectly. I found my love the moment I decided to stop waiting and just enjoy life as it was. He didn't come in the form I was expecting him too, being completely diffrent from guys I usually fell for. But we clicked almost immedately and I fell for him head over heals. This Sunday will be our 7th anniversary.
I went through a rough break up while I watched my Mom fade away from cancer last summer. About 3 months later, I had a dream that my mom called me on the phone, told me that she was sending me an angel to heal me and take away my pain. She hasn't came yet, but I know she will someday
I love this song so much! After just losing my mum I cant stop listening to this song. I know she'll always be looking over me as my angel guiding me. Much love for the song Ben!
In a shampoo bottle life of rinse and repeat, this song speaks to me and wrenches my soul. What a beautiful, aspirational song of what we should seek. A reminder to live simply and remember what is important, but bills have to be paid and life flies by so quickly that the important things become easy to forget. So songs like this one are immensely important reminders. I speak to people all the time that don't care for music and don't listen to it and I think what a sad proposition for one's life. Beauty right in front of you and you don't see it.
Angels are real one saved my life I was at suicide but she found me gave her heart to me I'm forever changed and forever greatful there is a God and at your weakest as long as u believe he will save u, never give in God is with you
Michael Crocker Michael i had something very similar happen to me.What is almost impossible to describe is the feelings that you have around them that are non existant now and here.The moment it saved me,I knew that was the true meaning of JOY! When i felt that,I remember thinking how could a three letter word do this justice,I`ve tried to tell some people on here about my experience, and they would rather feel "safe" and hide from the truth,they lash out at you,which is the work of demons,and evil so i pray for them!
Waiting on an angel One to carry me home Hope you come to see me soon Cause I don' t want to go alone I don' t want to go alone Now angel won' t you come by me Angel hear my plea Take my hand lift me up So that I can fly with thee So that I can fly with thee And I'm waiting on an angel And I know it won' t be long To find myself a resting place In my angel's arms In my angel's arms So speak kind to a stranger Cause you'll never know It just might be an angel come Knockin' at your door Knockin' at your door And I'm waiting on an angel And I know it won't be long To find myself a resting place In my angel's arms In my angel's arms Waiting on an angel One to carry me home Hope you come and see me soon Cause I don' t want to go alone I don't want to go alone Don' t want to go I don't want to go alone
i have never been, and will never be religious. Without my own belief in most peoples God, I assumed the Angel I have long since needed can not be found. I was wrong, and you are right karlottini .. she turned up right behind me, unexpected, and Heaven sent. Changing a career & a country has let me find & have what I have needed so much for so long, and in turn .. I have long been the same one that she has needed. I have found WHERE I am meant to be, and now I know WHO I am meant to be.
My sister asked me to sing this at her wedding in remembrance of our loved ones who couldn't be here. So I looked it up and, it's so beautiful it made me cry.
Wow. I'm so sorry for your loss. I am a mother of two and I cannot imagine what you are going through. I feel like I would lose my mind along with my child. I'm so sorry for your loss. Blessed be.
In 2005, I lost my three year old brother to Ewing's Sarcoma cancer. In November of 2011, I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer. In July of 2012, I lost my momma to a massive heart attack. My angels are the most amazing angels that I could ever imagine. I will be able to fly with ease when it's my time to go home with my three angels to carry me♥ Christopher Raymer, Jefferey Raymer, and Pamela Raymer are the angels arms that I will be flying in to carry me home.
I lost a loved one recently , and I'm also a cancer patient , so I think about mortality a lot. I also have been single for awile. So , I get a double meaning from this song. Sometimes I think it's about the search for that special "angel" to share one's life with . But , then it also sounds like someone who realizes he doesn't have much longer to live and is waiting on an angel to take him "home" I guess the song was intentionally written that way , so that we can accept either meaning.
played this at one of my friends funerals today and his closest friends sang it and i played the cello while my mom played the guitar part.... i cried i miss you Jake Hanson 11.18.10
Waiting on an angel, one to carry me home. Hope you come to see me soon, 'cause I don't wanna go alone. Feeling depressed tonight. Prayers would be appreciated.
I know it's great to think of it as finding that special someone, but sometimes songs have no hidden meaning. Sometimes it is what it is. I view this song as someone who is waiting to die and is scared about death. He wants his angel to guide him to heaven safely.
@LJH70122 I lost my mom to cancer but i have also been blessed with so many family members who beat it too. So I pray you continue to fight and I will say a prayer for you! God bless!!
A wonderful song,the comments below are very valid but it's not just about death, or waiting for it and I'm sure many couples hold this song very personal. There is the element of death and the hope of an angel holding your hand at this time, but angels don't always neeed to be heavenly bodies with wings, there are many walking among us and the line 'speak kind to a stranger....' gives this away. I met mine in a very unlikely place and I certainly wasn't looking.
This was mine and my boyfriend's song. He said I was his angel and at that moment I knew i loved him. Years later, he recently and randomly breaks up with me because he wants to date other people. Now I find myself, waiting on my angel to come back to me. : (
Haha nice :) But pay attention please, I know when we truly love the person we just want this person to come back in our life, but sometimes it makes us suffer even more, so be sure if he changed or not, Good luck
i don't know you but my deep condolances my heart goes out to you and your family and im very sorry for your loss i will pray for your family and your daughter tonight.
I agree, this song sounds to be more about having someone to have with him as he is taken into the arms of the creator, so as to ease the pain of death rather than speaking of death itself, as to which he said himself "i don't wanna go alone"
I heard this song today. Last wednesday I met a guy, i'm pretty sure it was an angel. I'm scared to illude myself to have a chance. I hope to see him again. I won't stop to look for him, only to see his face. This song represents exactly the situation i'm living. So speak kind to a stranger Never forget guys.... Cause you’ll never know It just might be an angel come Knockin’ at your door Knockin’ at your door
This is definitely a 10 on the happiness scale
Hahahahaha house reference 😂
This was the song I played at my daughters Funeral. Ever time I hear it I break down and start crying, it's been 10 years since she has passed. I don't think I could have picked a better song for her.
david cotner one love
david cotner So sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter.My 18yr old son passed away 6mths ago I miss him soooooo much🕊💓
I’m here 5 years after my baby girl passed. My heart goes out to all that lost a child. It never gets better
No parent should ever outlive their child. I am so sorry for your loss 😔
Think of us as souls that came to earth for a cause by their choice and done with it and left by their choice.. one of their causes was to touch you life and others who knew and loved them.. may your heart be blessed with comfort and joy 😍😍
That's a guitar.
That's a natural voice.
That's music, kids.
Amen to that
Simple and beautiful comment. Thank you. I concur. Peace.
House brought me here 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️ it's a ten❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was re-watching some old episodes of House, and this song was used so nicely in there.
Michelle Allen season 3, episode 4. It was the episode with the really autistic kid.
@@meeshelle975 Late as f***, but happened across "Eye Worms" as recommended on here from House M.D. UA-cam channel.
Same thing brought me here too
Same here
Same reason I’m here 7 years after you
Once in a rare while music touches souls...this music is medicine
Ben sang this song at my cousin's funeral for us. Every time I hear it I get choked up.
Always be grateful for those strangers that come into your life when you feel at your lowest point and you just know you have been touched by an angel........
+Lorraine Ashby one angel for each moment of life
Lorraine Ashby you have no idea how much that comment just helped me. Maybe you are my angel tonite
You just reminded me of my angel. I'm grateful for that. I'll be grateful.
Haven't found what I m looking for
House brought me here
+1 to that
+2
+3
+4
Me too, great song!
Thank you so much for over 2 decades of music that has literally pulled me through some dark times in my Past! I have such a deep inner standing today. God Bless You Ben!
I dedicated this song to my beloved mother who passed away in 2008...You are my angel MoM!!!
This is a masterpiece. For all the lonely people like me this one is a gem.
this is not just a song.. It's a prayer. Bless you all ♥
so speak kind to a stranger
cause you'll never know
it just might be an angel oh
knockin' on your door.
I can't express how beatiful is this song...
When i drink, cry and remind me of my dad, I come here to grieve.
Waiting on a Angel + pleasure and pain were the two songs.played at my daughter Angels funeral, can't thank you enough Ben
looking for that elusive LOVE button....one of the most precious songs, presented in the most predious of ways - the singing, the guitar - love this Ben Harper - thank you, Elizabeth

Dad passed away 13 years ago..Touched me..Love this.. i don't want ago a lone
This song came on Pandora in 2009 when my grandpa was passing and it is now my grandpa's song. When I listen to it I think of him! I love him so much!
I listened to this song for the first time a few years ago, but I didn't know the songs name but now I found it and my heart feels like I don't have a word for it.
Because of House MD - Season 03 EP04 :D

How's it going after 16 years?
How’s it going after 18 years?
un artista straordinario, questa canzone mi ha fatto sognare l'estate scorsa.

Hope that angel came brother lifes a crazy ride of ups and downs
my mom is my angel and this is the song that reminds me of her
I love this song so much! After just losing my mum I cant stop listening to this song. I know she'll always be looking over me as my angel guiding me. Much love for the song Ben!

Quel talent et quel belle voie.....J' adore!!!!
"I feel like music is the only thing keeping me sane"
A quote from a dear friend which I think we can all relate to.
la musique n'est elle pas se qui se rapproche du langage des anges car quand elle est merveilleusement interprétée ,elle transperce notre âme.merci
Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come to see me soon
Cause I don' t want to go alone
I don' t want to go alone
Now angel won' t you come by me
Angel hear my plea
Take my hand lift me up
So that I can fly with thee
So that I can fly with thee
And I'm waiting on an angel
And I know it won' t be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel's arms
In my angel's arms
So speak kind to a stranger
Cause you'll never know
It just might be an angel come
Knockin' at your door
Knockin' at your door
And I'm waiting on an angel
And I know it won't be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel's arms
In my angel's arms
Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come and see me soon
Cause I don' t want to go alone
I don't want to go alone
Don' t want to go
I don't want to go alone

Gorgeous melody!
One of my favorites by Ben.
Lovely, I first heard this song tonight live, it is beautiful :)
Thanks roswell new mexico brings me here
so sad. this song makes me cry.
Song and view of this place soothed me soulfully
une pur douceur a écouter .........
All these stories are so heartbreaking.
Some songs make you happy to cry, like this one.
And like "Be Good" by Gregory Porter.
I lost a loved one recently , and I'm also a cancer patient , so I think about mortality a lot. I also have been single for awile. So , I get a double meaning from this song. Sometimes I think it's about the search for that special "angel" to share one's life with . But , then it also sounds like someone who realizes he doesn't have much longer to live and is waiting on an angel to take him "home"

This song is older then me but I still love it
💛 Beautiful
6/2/2022 I still love his music. My TIO told me about him
played this at one of my friends funerals today and his closest friends sang it and i played the cello while my mom played the guitar part.... i cried i miss you Jake Hanson 11.18.10
i love this song...........with all my soul
Waiting on an angel, one to carry me home. Hope you come to see me soon, 'cause I don't wanna go alone.
Feeling depressed tonight. Prayers would be appreciated.
This song is beautiful.. my brother in-law died on friday .. only 17yo :'( He will be with the Angles and God, rest in peace darling boy
life goes on, just know you're not alone
In the Bible it says do not be afraid to entertain strangers there for some have entertained angels unaware.
How beautiful.
I know it's great to think of it as finding that special someone, but sometimes songs have no hidden meaning. Sometimes it is what it is. I view this song as someone who is waiting to die and is scared about death. He wants his angel to guide him to heaven safely.
Came here after watching The Girl on Netflix. Beautiful.
@LJH70122 I lost my mom to cancer but i have also been blessed with so many family members who beat it too. So I pray you continue to fight and I will say a prayer for you! God bless!!
they need to use this song for one of those animal shelter commercials.
Gorgeous song brings me happiness not sadness :)
I love you dad.
You give me A PUSH FOR HOPE JESUS LOVE YOU

this is deeply beautiful
What a beautiful hauntingly song:)
Listening to this song In November 2019. House MD ❤ brought me here
big up to this video, cuz it was posted on my birthday two-thousand and hate!!!!! things are better now, almost two years later, ouch!
This was mine and my boyfriend's song. He said I was his angel and at that moment I knew i loved him. Years later, he recently and randomly breaks up with me because he wants to date other people.
Now I find myself, waiting on my angel to come back to me. : (
+Monica Perez I know the feeling ... :C
Fuzzy Fox He asked me out to go get dinner tomorrow. Chin up, your angel could come back. ♡
Haha nice :) But pay attention please, I know when we truly love the person we just want this person to come back in our life, but sometimes it makes us suffer even more, so be sure if he changed or not, Good luck
Not to be rude buuuuuutttttt don't wait on a fallen angel find one with a brighter halo
CDRB Soundtrack 2015 _ Wonderful Epic _

Beautiful
I'm sorry for your loss. Lucky to have my kids alive so far, and hope not to outlive them.
i don't know you but my deep condolances my heart goes out to you and your family and im very sorry for your loss i will pray for your family and your daughter tonight.
Why do such songs don't become chartbusters?
it's better to buy these songs and enjoy them in company of friends/family or buy yourself. These songs are so intimate and meaningful.
Eu tenho um anjo.
Esse anjo é você!
I agree, this song sounds to be more about having someone to have with him as he is taken into the arms of the creator, so as to ease the pain of death rather than speaking of death itself, as to which he said himself "i don't wanna go alone"
I heard this song today. Last wednesday I met a guy, i'm pretty sure it was an angel. I'm scared to illude myself to have a chance. I hope to see him again. I won't stop to look for him, only to see his face.
This song represents exactly the situation i'm living. So speak kind to a stranger
Never forget guys....
Cause you’ll never know
It just might be an angel come
Knockin’ at your door
Knockin’ at your door
