![]() The beauty that comes from this music and video, though, is that love and appreciation can be shown through a spiritual, emotional connection, even without the physical one. ![]() "Everywhere I'm looking now, I'm surrounded by your embrace." This song is a "thank you" note dedicated to an important lover who has passed and remains as a spiritual/symbolic presence in her life. The tiny complication and sadness that lingers, however, is that they are never physically together, and she is having a difficult time letting go. Because a kiss is so intimate and real, she can not experience it with her angel. She can only feel his presence and almost have that intimacy. At the end, there is this face-to-face encounter between them, again suggesting that they are in each other's presence. Although it seems like they might kiss, they never do. In the video, I really get this idea. Beyoncé and this man are constantly in each other's company. She feels him, they touch- but I think it is representative of her feeling his presence. In the scene where she is dancing in the studio, he is standing on a balcony, watching her. She doesn't really see him- again, it's like he is an angel watching over her. This partner, her savior, who she speaks of, I think has passed away and remains in her life, watching over her. Based on some fans' comments about her starting in a church choir- I'm assuming Beyoncé is religious to some extent and believing in angels is not too far off. This partner is has gone, but remains an angel. ![]() Did you all see the video? The video is very suggestive that the song is, indeed, a partner who has taught her to open up. The words suggest that she has had trouble with trust in her past relationships, and the person whom she is singing about has allowed her to trust again. "Halo", though I think is referring to a death in some way. ![]()
