about

The origins of this song came from a writing session in Denmark in which producer & guitarist Dennis Rux, keyboard player Chris Haertel, Bassist David Nesselhauf and drummer Lucas Kochbeck spent two weeks in a house writing and recording instrumental songs onto a 1980’s TASCAM 388 8-track tape recorder.

The project was originally intended to be a soul revue reminiscent of the 1960s soul bands such as Daptone records etc. featuring various singers throughout the record.
Nathan Johnston and Dennis Rux had met a few years previously in Hamburg while both working on separate projects at Clouds Hill studios. Rux asked Johnston if he would like to feature as a vocalist on one of the songs from the Denmark recordings. As a challenge to his own songwriting (with no instruction as to the lyrical content/vocal melodies) Johnston accepted the offer and a few months later sent a demo to Rux of the newly titled track - ‘Angel Of Libra.’

After hearing the track, the band decided to name themselves after the song.

The newly appointed ‘Angels Of Libra’ enlisted Johnston to come to Rux’s ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah!’ studios in Hamburg to write and record a full length album, featuring 10 tracks, of which the first single would be ‘Angel Of Libra.’

lyrics

Baby, I’ve got a thing or two to say.
You see of late, my love
Things just haven’t been the same.

But I don’t want to be too rude
I don’t want to cause a scene
But all these boys are next to you
You’re playing games in front of me
And I don’t want to keep on playing

Oh how the world is crashing down, my love
Angel of Libra, Angel of Libra
I need you more than ever now, my love
I was never good at sharing anyway
No I can’t bear to be away from you
So are you coming back home?

Baby, I’m lost for words with all your apathy
See I’ve committed seven deadly sins
And I would do it all again for you and me

But my insecurities have left me green
This love we had is wearing thin
And I just want to have you back again.

Oh how the world is crashing down, my love
Angel of Libra, Angel of Libra
I was never good at sharing anyway
No I can’t bear to be away from you
So are you coming back home?

My arms are open wide and never closing for you
Your pale blue eyes have left me frozen for you

Oh how the world is crashing down, my love
So are you coming back home?
How the world is crashing down, my love
So are you coming back home?
No I can’t bear, I can’t bear to be away from you
So are you coming back home?
Are you coming back home?
