By Theory of a Deadman 2014

Songs rarely make me cry but on the other hand some do. Like Angel by Theory of a Deadman. It’s such a beautiful song and actually makes me weep.

I heard this song not on youtube, I actually listen to the whole album Savages by Theory of a Deadman on Spotify which by the way I think it’s their best album so far. Now I am not a huge Theory of a Deadman fan, I like some of their songs that were popular except “No Surprise” I really like that song. Anyways I think now that this album is out, I am going to be a for sure Theory of a Deadman fan.

Angel is such a beautiful song. It’s about letting go of someone you have loved and you have to set them free but to me is setting yourself free from them. I think that could apply to anyone you have lost or a relationship that didn’t work. And I have lost many people but the hardest was my grandpa (my dad’s dad) and my mother in law. I also had a friend die that was really hard for me. I miss them very much. Overtime dwelling on the past should be a happy time, the time that we spent together not the end.

My favorite lines are the chorus:

“Maybe I’m crazy, maybe I’m weak

Maybe blinded but what I see

You wanted a solider but it wasn’t me

Cause I could never set you free”

The line that really gets me is “You wanted a solider but it wasn’t me” wow what an impactful lyric. This lyric means to me you are helpless to help someone you love regardless of whatever it is.

What a great and beautiful song, you can listen to the song below. You can also buy the song or listen to it on Spotify.
