Even Angels Cry

Doro Pesch's song 'Even Angels Cry' delves into the profound emotions of sorrow and heartbreak, using vivid imagery and metaphors to convey its message. The song begins with the narrator feeling blue and walking in the rain, setting a melancholic tone. The encounter with a ragged old man who claims to be half-blind but insightful introduces the central metaphor: the idea that even angels cry. This metaphor suggests that sorrow and pain are universal experiences, transcending even the divine.

The old man's wisdom, derived from his own experience of a broken heart, reinforces the theme of shared human suffering. His assertion that the rain is not just a natural phenomenon but 'heaven's pain' adds a layer of poetic depth to the song. This perspective invites listeners to see their own tears and heartache as part of a larger, more profound experience. The repeated refrain 'Even angels cry' serves as a comforting reminder that feeling pain is a natural part of life and even the most celestial beings are not immune to it.

The song also touches on the enduring nature of love, despite the pain it can cause. The narrator's belief that 'love is forever' and has the power to mend a broken heart offers a glimmer of hope amidst the sorrow. This duality of love and pain is a recurring theme in Doro Pesch's music, known for its emotional intensity and powerful vocal delivery. 'Even Angels Cry' resonates with anyone who has experienced heartache, offering solace in the idea that they are not alone in their suffering.
