"Angel" is a song written by singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks of the British-American band Fleetwood Mac. It first appeared on the band's 1979 double album Tusk and was released as a single in the Netherlands the following year. The song was performed on the 1979-1980 Tusk Tour and has since been issued on a few deluxe editions of albums, starting with the 2015 super deluxe edition of Tusk, which included a live recording from the band's performance in St. Louis on 5 November 1979.[1] A 5 May 1980 live recording from the Richfield Coliseum in Ohio was included on the deluxe edition of the band's Live album.[2]
A different song of the name was written by Bob Welch and included on Fleetwood Mac's Heroes are Hard to Find album in 1974. In the liner notes for Welch's Greatest Hits & More – Revisited, he said that the lyrics were about "want[ing] to see an angel" and "understanding whether the angel is a human being".[3]
