Eileen Smith, our Ask An Angel Intuitive columnist previously responded to a reader question about the sounds from a choir of angels that awoke her. Chrissie wanted confirmation that she had actually heard angels singing. She also wanted to know if they had a message for her. Eileen confirmed that it was indeed the angels and also shared information about understanding clairaudence (intuitive hearing)... Read the Ask An Angel Q&A
I was thrilled to see this question asked and answered because I experienced the a rare opportunity of hearing the angels sing. I will never forget it the unworldly music/song. It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard before or since. The melodic sounds lured me to climb out of bed. I was compelled to walk about my home to seek out the source. At first I thought the television had been left on, but no. Then I looked outdoors to see if a car might be parked in the alley with its radio blaring... but no. Eventually I sat down in my dark living room and listened to my private concert. Afterwards I turned on a lamp, grabbed a pen and notebook and began channeling messages from the angels via an automatic writing session. And, wow, did the angels ever have a lot to say!
Have you ever heard the angels sing? Do tell.

Oh how wonderful it is to hear the voices of our higher selves. I have on several occasions (during sleep mostly but occasionally – right next to my ear) actually had conversations with “others” who provided me with answers to my concerns and situations.
One time in particular was the voice of what I know was God helping me during a particularly rough patch in my life. I will never forget the sound of the voice.
This article has reminded me to once again become aware and listen. Thanks for such a great article.

What an amazing story! How blessed you are to hear the choirs of Angels. I receive feathers from the Angels. I love my communication with the Angels.
Blessings to you and all you do,
Karen
I have experienced this too! I have heard the lovely singing as well as beautiufl bells my mother had also shared the experience too, I told her about mine and she said this has happended to her!
One other special incident In 1995, my father suddenly passed away and my family rushed to hospital to be near while he had only moments to live (heart attack! I was the laast to arrive and walked into his ER room, I looked at his peaceful face and felt and hude the flutter of huge wings and a breeze that blew the heavy plastic curtains that was absolutley amazing!
Great breakdown of the “clairs” Eileen! Thank you for the clear explanation.
For many years I had this sensation of hearing like coirs of many people singing,I guess that was the ciors of angels singing.This usually happened when I was in bed And ready to drift out to sleep.Usually I tried to put my mind and ear to the corous but I just went to sleep.Those were the days that I do really had a trully restful sleep.
Hi Eileen,
I was so pleased to read the article about angels singing and must say that I hear them daily especially at around 2 to 4am and I alo receive feathers weekly. I thought the feathers were from my mom who passed away a year ago as I made a pact with her that if I was sad she would send me a feather. Thanks for the wonderful insight.
I have heard the angels singing for a year now. It happens all the time, while I’m driving, in the shower at quite moments in my day. I have turned many times to my family and asked if they can hear it, they all say no and look at me like I lost my mind. The sound of beautiful voices singing in harmony is magnificent. I am very spiritual but not religious and I know we all can hear them, most just don’t listen.
Diagnosed with brain tumor and rested on the couch with the television behind me. Slept for some time and slowly opened my eyes and they shot closed. For those few seconds visions a clear white angel in front of television with a rope of clear books and smile of serenity. Did not open my eyes and went back to sleep. Either a dream or real. Felt a guidance to more understanding of the spirituality and theogy that needed to be in my life.
A few years ago as I was drifting off to sleep sometime around 12-1am I suddenly heard the most beautiful harmonic singing I had ever heard. There were no words at all – just harmonic chords. I looked out the window wondering why I heard music to see and hear nothing. It was something I’ll never forget and hope that I will be blessed to hear it again.
It was so interesting to find out that I am clairsentience. I know that I need to take more time to myself to stay grounded. I love reading articles on your website. Thank you for sharing so much wonderful information. I want to connect more to my angels and to be more aware of so much more that is out there to help us in this life. So very interesting. Thanks!
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who hears this. At first, I would hear the music upon awakening. Once I realized what I was hearing was the moment the music stopped. At that point, if there were words I would catch perhaps a line or two. I’ll never forget when I heard them sing, “all she ever wanted was to bring baby Jesus in the world”, obviously referring to His mother Mary.
Since then, that has happened only a few times, but I have noticed that sometimes if I am just sitting and reading or relaxing, I’ll notice that most beautiful music again.
Lately, as I have made up my mind to learn how to read and write and play music, these experiences have become different, yet frequent. Now, if I just clear my head, and start singing praises, and ask the Creator to allow me to hear, I can actually hear Them singing in the background. It is faint, but clearly audible to me. I hope that soon it will be louder though.
I CAN REMEMBER THE NIGHT VERY CLEARY. I WAS HEAVY IN MY DRUG ADDICTION, AND I HAD NOT SLEPT FOR SOME TIME. AND I WAS DRIVING FROM L.A TO FRESNO. IT WAS NIGHT AND I WAS LISTING TO SOME BLACK SABBATH OR SOMTHING VERY SIMALUR. AND OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAD COME ACUSTOM TO CHANGING THE EVIL LYRICKS TO HEAVENLY ONES. BUT THE TONE OF THE MUSIC AND THE DRUGS IN MY SYSTEM TOOK IT’S TOLL ON ME, MENTALLY ,SPIRITUALY,AND PHYSICALLY. I HAD GOTTEN TONGUE TIED AND COULD FEEL AND HEAR EVIL IN MY PRESENCE.AND THEN IT HAPPEND. AT FIRST I WAS STRAINING TO HEAR THIS SOOTHING FEMALE ANGELIC VOICE. I COULD HEAR IT IN MY LEFT EAR AND I WAS DRIVING RECKLESSLY, AND BEGAN TO TURN MY HEAD IN THE DIRECTION OF THIS SINGING. AND THEN SHE SPOKE TO ME SHE TOLD ME WACTH THE ROAD THATS HOW YOU WILL KNOW ANGELS FROM DEMONS.”MEANING DISTRACTING ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING.”
AND THEN SHE STARTED SINGING IN MY EAR EVER SO SOOTHLY. IF I COULD DESCRIBE IT WOULD BE LIKE AN ANGEL SINGING A LALUBYE TO A NEW BORN BABY. IT SOOTHED MY HEART ,MY MIND AND MY WHOLE BEING. I WAS IN SUCH AWE THAT I CANNOT EVEN REMEMBER WHAT SHE WAS SINGING, BUT IT TOUCHED MY SOUL. I RAN OUT OF GAS IN FRESNO NO MONEY NO WHERE TO GO. SO ICALLED MY FRIENDS PARENTS AND SHE CAME AND GOT ME AND TOOK ME TO BREAKFAST AND FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS I OFFERD TO REPAY THEM BY DOING YARD WORK THEY AGREED.IT WAS EASTER WEEKEND AND AFTER I HAD GOTTEN THROUGH WITH THE YARD WORK THEY INVITED TO CHURCH! I HAVE NEVER HEARD MRS.H SING BEFORE IN MY LIFE. AND DURING PRAISE WORSHIP I HEARD THAT SAME ANGELIC VOICE. IT WAS COMING FROM MRS. H.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and sharing your experiences with us.
I am so profoundly touched that this information has helped you in any way and am deeply grateful for your support of my articles here on About.com
I hear angels singing mostly old hymns or occasionally a song from my childhood all the time. I have also seen and felt the fates of missing persons. I try not to do that too often because the pain lasts for weeks. I see these things in bright snapshot types of visions. I feel the presence of spirits that come and go from my home, but I tell evil spirits they are not welcome and ask Jesus to keep them away. I would like to know more about how to develop my gifts. I have a debilitating disease called Sjogrens Syndrome and I think the angels sing to comfort me, it works!

Dear Janet,
I am so sorry for your loss. I will send you an email from which you can reply with an attachment photo of your beautiful daughter. I’ll be happy to post it for you.

I have found this page because I too, for the first time, have heard an Angel(s) singing. Was just upon awakening during the night sometime. I thought it was coming from outside. It faded as I became more awake. But there is no doubt in my mind that that is what I heard. Some things you just know. Was more beautiful than anything I’ve ever heard. I feel blessed today.
just sending my new email address so i can send you a photo of my daughter leah many thanks janet
Hello,
I recently had such a experience where a lovely voice was explaining and giving me answers to questions i have been asking for some time now.
On other days, i wake up with a song in my head.
Thank you for the article
I was at church on a sunday a had went up to the altar to pray for the lord to take my idols from me and at the end of my prayer I heard what sounded like hundreds of angels singing or praying .I will never forget the sound it was so perfect .
At approx 12:00 am, I heard singing in my ear. The left side of my head was on a pillow and it was as if someone was singing into my left ear. Woke up suddenly and the singing stopped. I don’t remember the song, but I remember it being very angelic.
Karen, that’s so beautiful. I am so glad you were given that experience. It is an almost indescribable sound, isn’t it?
Janet, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Clearly the Divine was sent to tell you that your daughter is held in the arms of the angels. Bless you and your family.
When i snooze off. Suddenly i heard an awefull loud one big bell rang. Beautiful one. It wokes me. It seems so real. I am deaf since birth. But i hear it. What does it mean?
I am gifted when it comes and goes. But what the bell rang meant? Thank you !
my mother passed away 5 years ago , and i had left the hospice and went home to try and get some sleep , ,then i heard like a choir of angles singing it was about 4.3o am . I got up and looked out the window but couldnt see anything, has anyone else ever had this as it would be interesting to know what it was
dis is quite helpful to children,,,,,,,,,,,,……………////////////
As a child of 7, I was quite ill and this was a very worrying time for my family. One time I remember quite clearly, sitting on the bed being comforted in the early hours of the morning, by my mother. I suddenly heard the most beautiful music, accompanied by the sweetest singing. I remember sitting straight up and listening to it. I asked my mother who it was singing as it sounded as if it was coming from the other side of the window in the garden. She looked very puzzled and told me there was no music or singing that she could hear. At that moment my father came into the room and I asked him the same question. He too looked very puzzled and told me to he too could not hear anything. A few days later I was suddenly well enough to return to school. I have never forgotten this incident and now realise it was the angels looking after me and being there with me during this very traumatic time. I am truly blessed.
I woke up to the most BEAUTIFUL sound of singing it was like chanting ,
Repeating over and over very harmonic to the Lords Prayer.
I kept saying to my self how beautiful never heard that sound in my life and I feel blessed. It started with God our father who art in heaven .
Please God I would love to hear it Again, I sang it to my daughter so she would remember it, it was a little different the the regular Lords prayer from mass. Beautiful
The Angels sang to me in my dream and in the dream I went outside due to hearing this wonderful music in the background, when I got outside the clouds and sky opened up and down steamed this amazing white light and then the singing got very loud and it was no words just harmonious chords being sung, the sound was BEAUTIFUL, indescribable, I have no words to describe what it sounded like, it was like infinite amount of voices all perfectly in time with each other and the music was in everything and was everything. Such a huge powerful force it felt like. I remember tell someone who was the that that is the Angels singing. I feel so incredibly honoured to have heard the music from the Angel realms and I very much hope I get to hear it again! Was very intense.
I experience that as well and the feeling is great! just a few days ago heard a choir(male voices) singing..i could feel that it was angelic not from this world..i experience this …but it just fades away then i wake up…dont know what it means…..
My experience happened when I was 7 yrs old. I shared a room with my younger sister. One night I was awoken to what seemed to be beautiful harmonious singing. I recall so clearly sitting up on my bed and looking out my window to see the sky totally lit up and a myriad of Angels descending…I remember staring at them in awe…It was such a peaceful feeling that amazingly after several minutes, I laid back down and went to sleep. I have never forgotten this experience. I am now 41 years old but it is so vivid in my head what I saw that night
Many years ago after my twin girls were born, i had a breakdown in my marriage. I became very depressed I was admitted to hospital for psychiatric treatment. Not to my knowledge my husband had arranged for me to have E.C.T. electro treatment. While i was being prepared for this one morning a lady walked straight up to my bed with a book/bible
in her hand, she touched my arm ” You must go home for there is nothing wrong with you” she said and walked away.
I got up from the bed and followed her but i couldn’t see where she went.
I searched all the wards and asked the nurses where she went.
They really thought i was halucinating and did not know what i was asking them.
When my husband arrived to sign declaration papers i told him what had happened and i said i will not have that treatment done and i walked
out of the ward into the passage and walked down the stairway to the
discharge section. My husband had followed me. He said that i looked better than i had ever been and that woman was an angel in disguise.
Since that time my life and my marriage has flourished.
Could she have been an angel……… I still have that image strong in my mind to this day. My twin girls are now 29 years old.

This is amazing! I have experienced this so many times in my life & so tonight (New Years Eve) I decided to google this and here it is!
I must admit it is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard but I never thought about allowing the angels to do channeling through me. The next time this happens I will try this. I do hear voices from those who have passed & I am very in touch with the “other side” – so I will try this. Thanks for sharing.
Hi! How do you know that were angels? I mean.. One day I was walking to my job and passed through a little church with a funeral house by its side. Whe I already passed by, I heard a girl/woman voice singing. Was a beautiful song but I didn’t know the language, was very strange words. Then I looked back and there was nothing (and the song had stopped). Then I start walking my way again, and the singing lady resume her singing. That was strange, but how am I suppose to know who was singing? Thanks!
Hi,it is quite a remarkable experience to hear angels sing,when my 10 yr child died after her funeral as I went for my first sleep knowing she was not there anymore obviously I was heartbroken but no sooner I rested my head I heard what sounded like a chorus of angels singing and an old time piano organ type it came from the ceiling,but we had a bungalow.and no upstairs.it was very harmonious and powerful I closed my eyes as it was so precious and o knew it was my child joining the angels.
