OMG I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's about time Chloe put out a new album!!! Hehehe! And I'm so glad she's finally doing it!

The single "Like An Angel" has released on iTunes!!!

I got it from CD Baby because it wasn't available in iTunes in Canada yet.

My goodness!!!!!!!! It's a really different sound, but it's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this song has a legitimate chance to go mainstream.

You guys might want a box of tissues next to you when you listen to it! I can't stop crying!!!!!!!!

About this song titled "Like An Angel", is it an original she's written or is it a song cover?

[CWazyTom]

I think it's an original song, not a cover.

[Emer Dreamer]

I think it's an original song, not a cover.

Chloe didn't happen to post the lyrics to her new single anywhere did she?
I would love to have them.

Chloe didn't happen to post the lyrics to her new single anywhere did she?
I would love to have them.

I haven't seen them yet.

Here are the lyrics as far as I can tell. I'm not sure they're 100% accurate.

Note: the lyrics and song are original works by Joshua Spacht.

He holds her close to him, sunset in their eyes.
Final embers of light. Running out of time.
The sky begins to dance, putting on a show
As twilight lingers in the valley below.

So they linger and he whispers...

"In my eyes, you look like an angel
Could it be I've seen a glimpse of heaven
Come the night, come shadows and darkness,
'Cause I'll be by the side of an angel."

She holds his face in her hands
(whispers in his ear)
"How I've loved you throughout
The passing of each year
The days grow shorter I know,
So I take every chance.
To always linger when you ask me to dance."

So they linger and she whispers...

"In my eyes, you look like an angel
And I know you are a gift from heaven
Through this life, I won't fear the darkness
'Cause I'll be by the side of an angel."

Oh!!!

He reaches for her hand
Twilight in her eyes
Final embers of life. Running out of time.
And though she can't rise to dance,
He hums her favourite song,
And slowly sways until the last light is gone

And he lingers, yes he lingers,
Oh, he lingers, and he whispers...

"In my eyes, you look like an angel
Could it be I've seen a glimpse of heaven
Come the night. come shadows and darkness,
I'll be by the side of an angel."

Ohh!!!

(You are my angel)

<La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la-la>
<La la la la la la la la la la la la la la>

He holds her close to him...


This song is so beautiful I seriously can't stop crying.

I'm not sure about the words in angle brackets < >

I can't tell if she's saying light or life, but based on the context of the surrounding lyrics, I think there's a decent chance I'm guessing right.

At the end I'm not sure if she's humming "la" or "na."

Punctuation and line breaks are probably pretty messed up as I'm not used to writing lyrics.

Any corrections while we wait for something more official, please let me know. Please just reply without quoting the post with the lyrics. That way they can just stay in one place and can edit the 'master copy' as necessary instead of having a dozen quotes floating around the forum with partially correct lyrics. Thanks.

The lyrics are so beautiful!

And I really hope someone posts it on YouTube too!

They definitely are.

I'm pretty conflicted about commercially available songs getting posted on YouTube, especially if it's not the artist posting it.

Putting music on YouTube has a lot of benefits:
- Super-convenient
- Super-free
- Helps artists get their names out there

But the problem is if someone posts a song on YouTube that another artist created, that artist is pretty much guaranteed no royalties from that video.

I want people to hear and enjoy Chloë's music. But as much as Chloë makes music because she loves it and because it makes other people happy, she's also doing it to make a living.

Fortunately, Chloë's song is available in full on Spotify, which supposedly generates revenue (even if it's a very small amount per play) in the form of royalties. Now granted it's not particularly easy to find on there given that you get a lot of hits for "Like an Angel" and there are a few different Chloë artist accounts on there (the one it's filed under has a song that's from a different Chloe, lol).

Anyways, here's the Spotify link for anyone that wants to listen to it online:

Back to an earlier point about getting her name out there: sure, a few new fans might discover her because of YouTube and that's good. But the only way YouTube is going to be profitable for Chloë if the song goes viral. I think we can all agree it's amazing, but that just isn't enough to make a video get circulated all over the place.

Instead, I think most of her revenue is going to come from existing fans UNLESS the song goes mainstream on the radio.

I'm really trying to get some local stations to play it, but that alone isn't going to be enough. If you like the song, PLEASE ask your local radio stations to play it. Even if a few of them pick it up for starters, it could get the ball rolling and make a huge difference for her.

Thanks for reading my rant folks.

I go to karaoke at a place where the KJ plays videos between karaoke sets and I thought it would be so cool if he had Chloe's new song to play. He'd probably really like it and not to mention it would get more people to hear her song.
