Music Invoking a Memory

Today, I was listening to discs from the library.  I had checked out Sarah McLachlan's Surfacing.  On it is the track Angel.  That gets me every time.  In the song, she talks about a lonely hotel room and going into the arms of an angel.  My dad died in a hotel room by himself.  He was trying to get from Macon, GA to North Carolina.  His wife said it was to see us.  He made it as far as some seedy hotel.  I guess he had a heart attack while he slept.  I would guess he put too much exertion on his body.  Years of drugs and not living a healthy lifestyle took its toll.  That song gets me every time.
