Meanwhile, Taher has shared his ideology behind making the song "Angel." He took to his blog and posted a long note, explaining the inspiration behind the song. "Mankind is a beautiful 'Angel'. Loneliness, love and children are the key elements in his life. Life is god's gift, loneliness itself is a lesson, Love is heaven and children are 'Angels'. These three aspects all have the same meaning that humans should spread love, in loneliness express love then for their children and the world. Since 'Angel' like love truly is life's actual meaning and beauty with this in mind I created the poetry and wrote this song 'Angel' [sic]." Click here to read the full note.
Taher had first appeared in 2013 with the song video "Eye To Eye," that had made him immensely popular on the Internet for similar reasons, including the comic lyrics.
