Talk:Angel of the Morning

symbolism?
Wasn't either Lucifer or Satan called "Venus" and "angel of the morning". Odd name for a song.


 * This song title, these lyrics, and Lucifer is a sheer coincidence. Some people don't understand, but sheer coincidences can and do happen, and frequently.98.67.110.10 (talk) 07:05, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Doesn't this song come up in an episode of Friends (TV series), where the owner of the coffee house pays a "Professional" singer to sing, annoying Phoebe??

 * Juice Newton performed this song on the Austin City Limits TV episode #1010 in the United States and Canada. Maybe someone can contact ACL and get a solid citation for that so this tidbit can be on the song's main page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.13.106.85 (talk) 05:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Meaning
I must say....the meaning of this song is completely incorrect as stated here...there was no regret in the lover leaving and she didn't care whether or not they were seen together. This song is about freedom from love during sex and was during the beginning of birth control pill use. Shinpah1 00:49, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Frankly, there should be no entry on this page about the song's meaning. Songs are meant to be interpreted by the listener; the meaning should not be dictated by any one person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.231.103 (talk) 23:21, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * That is absolutely true: it is not the purpose of the Wikipedia, etc., to dictate the meanings of songs, or to speculate on them.98.67.110.10 (talk) 07:07, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Nevertheless, isn't it bizarre that immediately after the singer requests that her lover call her "angel of the morning" (which is an exceedingly peculiar request, anyway) she calls him "angel"? What is that about? Why do people worry about the overall meaning of the song, which is not that mysterious, and never notice how weird the refrain is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.32.161 (talk) 12:53, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Male Singer?
Is there only one male cover version that's not a duet? I'm pretty sure I have found the correct song (having just listened to it on YouTube), but the version that struck my heart repeatedly on 97.3 KBSG Oldies was sung by a man (or so I thought). Have I been hearing a female version all these years, and just deluding myself? Does anyone happen to know which version is common on the Oldies stations?

 * Okay, one thought: The one I'm thinking of might have the chorus but a different verse set. Does anything else use the chorus words, or only this song? Kilyle (talk) 15:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * There was a band called "States" in the early 80s that did a cover of this song. It was off their album "Picture Me With You."

Didn't the halifax, or some financial institution bastardise this for use in one of their adverts? "I'll give you extra in your pocket"? (79.190.69.142 (talk) 22:39, 18 December 2010 (UTC))

Censorship
I had heard that this song was denied airplay in some markets because its theme of free love was considered immoral. Does something like this belong in the article? BWatkins (talk) 16:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Release
Regarding

The song was composed in 1966 by Chip Taylor, who said of it: "I wrote 'Angel of the Morning' after hearing the Rolling Stones' song 'Ruby Tuesday' on the car radio [while] driving into New York City.  I wanted to capture that [song's] kind of passion."

How could Taylor have composed the song in 1966 but nevertheless after Taylor, on the car radio, heard "Ruby Tuesday", which in turn wasn't released until 13 January 1967 ? What's the reason for this anachronism? Was Taylor's car radio psychic?98.149.97.245 (talk) 08:06, 18 May 2020 (UTC)


 * It's an error. It's 1967. The newspaper source does not give a year. It says "'At the Calgary festival, Angel of the Morning appropriately started off the first Saturday morning songwriter workshop. 'I wrote Angel of the Morning after hearing The Rolling Stones song Ruby Tuesday on the car radio when I was driving into New York City. 'I wanted to capture that kind of passion,' says Taylor of the song that was first a hit for Merrilee Rush in '68 and then Juice Newton who had a crossover popcountry hit with it in '81.'"
 * Then several sources show the copyright as 1967. I'll make a change to the article. MartinezMD (talk) 23:48, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

No mention of Chrissie Hynde’s cover? Definitely should be on this page. 2603:7000:DD00:3E08:C4A9:3275:C544:1476 (talk) 04:43, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
