"Angels/Losing/Sleep" is a 2005 single by Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace from the album Healthy in Paranoid Times. It was the most successful single from the album and fared well on both the American and Canadian charts.
Recording session
Our Lady Peace reported that they almost dissolved as a band during the making of the Healthy in Paranoid Times album, and that "Angels/Losing/Sleep" was one of the more difficult songs to write and work on with the other members. The band had to push to have the song put on the album as Bob Rock didn't want it included.
Song meaning
Our Lady Peace has been known to incorporate religious themes into their music and this shows in "Angels/Losing/Sleep", with lyrics such as "looks like the Holy Ghost is gone", and of course the title, "even the Angels are losing sleep". The song is described as being centered on a person who is forced to watch a friend lose faith in their religion, and the central character being there for that person, only able to wait and offer comfort and support.
