Gabriel chords by Lamb

Gabriel is from Lamb's third album, What Sound, released in 2001. During an interview by Stefanie Elrick for nowthenmagagazine.com in 2014, Lou Rhodes was asked “Did you have any idea how much of a powerful effect your song ‘Gorecki’ would have on people when you wrote it?” Lou first briefly discussed Gorecki, but then also talked about Gabriel. “ ‘Gorecki’ is a special song. It always has been. It was written about a very special moment and it’s got its own life. Songs do that. They take on their own life force and the meaning changes through time. ‘Gabriel’ is another one that’s had a huge impact. When I wrote that song, I didn’t know anyone called Gabriel. It was based on a Rumi poem about being jealous of someone’s wings or the way they flew in life, and it was an ideal for me then about perfect love. Then three years ago I met my soul mate and he’s called Gabriel. I had to go all the way to Australia to find him. We regularly get emails saying, “I just played ‘Gorecki’ or ‘Gabriel’ at my wedding,” and it’s a powerful thing to have a song be so meaningful for people. It’s such an honour. If people say, “What kind of reward do you want for doing what you do?” that’s it.” Read more on Last.fm.
