"Angel" is a song recorded by pop music duo Eurythmics. It was written by band members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart. The song appears on Eurythmics' We Too Are One album and was released as its fourth UK single and second US single in May 1990.

"Angel" is a pop ballad with an adult contemporary sound. Lyrically Lennox sings about a woman who has killed herself and now has "gone to meet her maker" as an angel. The lyrics also namecheck Elvis Presley. The music video, directed by Sophie Muller, is not widely seen and was not shown by MTV, supposedly due to several scenes depicting the occult.

"Angel" peaked at number twenty-three on the UK singles chart. The accompanying video garnered play on US video channels but the single failed to chart on the US Hot 100.

Annie Lennox re-recorded the song in 1997 for the Diana, Princess of Wales: Tribute album.

    Pakanajuhla

    by: Moonsorrow

    Veljet sekä siskot,
    kokoontukaamme yhteen pöytään!
    On meidän malja nostettava
    uudelle jumalalle.
    Tähden alla syntynyt
    meidän seuraamme nyt liittyy.
    Hän syö kaikki pöydän antimet
    ja vapahtajaksemme ilmoittautuu.
    Ketkä asettivat sankarinsa juhlittaviksi
    aina meidän pyhiemme aikaan?
    Ja he toistuvasti julkeavat puhua meistä häpäisijöinä!
    Juopot eivät ulos astu lain,
    valvova isäntä vaihtuu vain.
    Sillä jok' ikistä päivää kuluvaa
    seuraa loputon pimeä yö.
    Pian suden uneen
