One of Scorpions’ best known ballads, “Send Me an Angel”, gets a classical crossover version by Aline Happ, singer and songwriter, known for her work as the frontwoman, founder and main songwriter of Lyria (Symphonic Alternative Metal). The rendition counts with Classical and Folk elements, such as harp, violins, cello and flute and also a keyboard, synthesizers, bass and drums. Aline Happ’s sweet and powerful voice highlights the ethereal and mystical atmosphere of the song, reinforcing the message of hope.
“I really like this song. It has a strong meaning, besides being very beautiful and iconic. The lyrics can be interpreted as a cry for help. The speaker wants to get out of sadness and anguish, so I brought images of renewal, images that could bring us feelings of purification.”, analyzes Aline Happ, vocalist and composer.
The track “Send Me an Angel” was originally released on the album “Crazy World” (1990), which also features the classic “Wind of Change”. Composed by Rudolf Schenker, lyrics by Klaus Meine and production by Keith Olsen and band, the song reached 44th on the Billboard Hot 100, and 8th on the Mainstream Rock Chart.
