“Among Angels” is the seventh track from Kate Bush’s 50 Words for Snow, her second album of 2011. Closing the album, it is the singular piano-only track and is the only track to feature Kate as the sole performer credited. With a tempo of 88 bpm, it is the only Kate Bush song to feature a false start. The track initially opens with an inversion of the A minor chord, after which Kate sharply muffles an apology, before it starts again from the root chord with a D in the bass clef instead.

The only song from this album performed live, it took a place in Kate’s encore during the Before the Dawn residency and a live recording was released on the album of the same name in late 2016. It also featured as the b-side to the “Lake Tahoe” picture disc released for Record Store Day 2012.

Kate plays the piano with all notes undamped. This allows all the harmonics that result from the slow chord changes to beautifully mix which adds to the serene atmosphere of the song.
