SEND ME AN ANGEL

DO YOU BELIEVE IN HEAVEN ABOVE
DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE
DON'T TELL A LIE DON'T BE FALSE AND UNTRUE
IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU

OPEN FIRE!
ON MY BURNING HEART
I'VE NEVER BEEN LUCKY IN LOVE
MY DEFENCES ARE DOWN
A KISS OR A FROWN
I CAN'T SURVIVE ON MY OWN

IF A GIRL WALKS IN AND CARVES HER NAME IN MY HEART
I'LL TURN AND RUN AWAY
EVERY DAY WE'VE ALL BEEN LED ASTRAY
IT'S HARD TO BE LUCKY IN LOVE
IT GETS IN YOUR EYES
IT'S MAKING YOU CRY
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR LOVE
CALLING HEAVEN ABOVE

SEND ME AN ANGEL
SEND ME AN ANGEL
RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW
SEND ME AN ANGEL
SEND ME AN ANGEL
RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW

EMPTY DREAMS CAN ONLY DISAPPOINT
IN A ROOM BEHIND YOUR SMILE
BUT DON'T GIVE UP
DON'T GIVE UP
YOU CAN BE LUCKY IN LOVE
IT GETS IN YOUR EYES
IT'S MAKING YOU CRY
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR LOVE
CALLING HEAVEN ABOVE

SEND ME AN ANGEL
SEND ME AN ANGEL
RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW
SEND ME AN ANGEL
SEND ME AN ANGEL
RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW
SEND ME AN ANGEL
SEND ME AN ANGEL
RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW
SEND ME AN ANGEL
SEND ME AN ANGEL
RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW
SEND ME AN ANGEL
SEND ME AN ANGEL
RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW
RIGHT NOW

A few years ago I was in a really bad place in life. I was laying in bed listening to music when the algorithm happened upon "When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies" and it moved me to tears. Since then, through better and worse, Gunship's music has touched my heart. At times it made me feel joy. At times it tugged at my heartstrings when I wasn't in a good headspace. The love, soul, and passion in these tracks at times was one of the few things that gave me positivity in a cold world. Thank you for being you, guys, and keep the heat coming. With love.

40 years ago i was 6 six years old. The magic of the 80s will never be duplicated. What an age to be a kid in! ❤

[ThatGuyGregHD]

Who else is here that was born in the 80's and loves this version too?!

[moneymagnetismnetwork]

How nostalgic putting that bike there. Thanks for the RAD memory

[mr_lade]

With E.T. doing the moon flyby… This is God tier magic 🪄💫

[SocomMopar]

Man it's 40 years ago in my head right now. Things were so simple when we were children. Nice cover/tribute!

[bunkerzero]

The original always had a sense of mystery to me and this version intensifies it. Such an awesome cover!!!

[SuperSnakePlissken]

Gunship, Dance with the Dead, Midnight Danger, Timecop1983, Waveshaper, Dynatron, and Fury Weekend are my favorite Synthwave bands.

It blows my mind that these bands have not completely broke into maintsteam music. They create music that is so far superior to the garbage on the radio that I do not even listen to radio anymore. Keep it up Gunship!

[unbound.by.fate.]

This is, by far, my favourite song from my childhood. I'm so glad you remixed it.

[p.w.]

It's a dark, cold and rainy autumn day where I live. But holy shit guys, you made this day an amazing day with this absolute banger! Thank you for releasing it to a wider audience. Now we just need a full video for this masterpiece of a cover song.

[stellarform-]

The bike in this video is amazing...a perfect tribute to the movie, RAD :)

[zonedweebies]

One of my all time favorite songs. Love this version. Long live the 80s!

[moonlitegram]

This song would get me so pumped every time I watched The Wizard. Great cover!

[Caligamy]

Stranger things may have cracked open the door for 80s Nostalgia but Gunship is here kicking it down with every new song, I'm in love!

[sawtist]

MORE GUNSHIP MUSIC‼️‼️‼️ been a fan for years now, , even had a gunship birthday cake once. every time they release a song it makes me just as happy as the time before ❤

[onedisturbedlilknucklehead]

This is the first cover I've heard that did Real Life justice, thank you for covering this classic beauty so beautifully ya'll.❤

[raistlinmajere]

The little Elliot and E.T. in the background is such a nice touch

[barbedwings]

I absolutely love the throwback to Rad, one of my favorite movies as a kid.

[deanparsons]

YES! Thanks for making amazing tracks (and this cover) and sharing it with the world! GUNSHIP FOREVER! ❤

[rasenshuriken]

I've heard many different people put their own spin on this song, and I can finally say I've found my favorite version. Amazing work 🎉
