Heard a song today: very slow & haunting.. Lyrics went something aline the lines of "when I knew you before..." and (I think) "face of an angel.....". Any ideas who ? Thanks.

On a tv show whilst flicking between channels: Didn't note what show or channel at the time. (though did notice it was at the end of the show as it went to the credits soon after). Yes, VG, I know ! D'oh !
And, as I say, the lyrics were "something like" when I knew you before...." & the word "Angel" was definetly mentioned. Thanks again.

As I say, its about that pace, but more "Choir/Angelic" vocals, with more of a organ sound rather than the piano.
(PS. The more I listen to these other tunes, the more I'm forgetting how it went). ;-)
