Angel, Ian Hunter, Defiance Vol. 1, any connection to 1987 John Jansen YUI Orta?

In Angel  (featuring Taylor Hawkins and Duff McKagan) the main lyrics are not related but the chorus is reminiscent of Hunter's song Overnight Angels; the song loudly and abruptly begins, and the repeated "Angels, angels, angels, angels" near the end reprise the original Overnight Angels. Red Letter Day from Ian Hunter's Dirty Laundry in 1995 also comes to mind. Brilliant lyrics abound throughout this heartfelt appreciative tribute to Trudi. The melody fits the sentiment like a glove, and the song is a true highlight of the couple's almost fifty year marriage. Ian notes "It's hard to kiss an angel. The harps are always getting in the way." The lyrics come from the heart but the song features signature piano and amazing anthemic guitar chords. It features not one, but three guitar solos and the line up of musicians is just awesome. The late great Taylor Hawkins on drums in a restrained, yet beautifully laid down style, along with Duff McKagan, Waddy, and Brad.

Livin' In A Heart from YUI Orta was first entitled Angel but they are different songs.

Very reminiscent of Red Letter Day from Ian Hunter's Dirty Laundry 1995.

My fave from Defiance Pt1 for sure. This is simply classic Ian Hunter, a stadium filling song with signature piano, amazing anthemic guitar chords and words from the heart of our greatest singer songwriter. It's a towering hulk of a song, lyrically beautiful, sung from the heart as only Ian can do. His ballads have always been my faves, and this for me is possibly his greatest to date. It features not one, but three guitar solos and the line up of musicians is just awesome. The late great Taylor H on drums in a restrained, yet beautifully laid down style is the baby of the group at 53, with Duff, Waddy and Brad heading towards the seventies in age and beyond.
