Angels (Commentary)

We were originally writing for this artist named Teddy Swims

If you're not familiar with Teddy Swims

You should be, 'cause he's incredible

I featured on his record last year on a song called "Broke"

I remember having this title on my phone

Called "Maybe Some Angels Don't Have Wings"

Meaning, like, there's a lot of people in your life that literally

Feel like angels on Earth because of how much

Grace they have and how much patience they have

And how they kinda help you through a hard time

And I'd never really written a song from

That perspective about me and Lauren

But there's definitely been times in our marriage where

I've been like, "How do you put up with me?" You know?

Like, "How do you deal with my crap on a daily basis?"

So this song kinda started for Teddy

And then Teddy was like, "Man, I feel like this feels like you"

And so I put my vocal on it and I about cried singing the vocal

I remember playing it for Lauren and she loved it

And it's a little bit more dark than I usually go in my songwriting

And especially putting songs like that on my record

But I just felt like it was really needed for this project

And, man, uh, just such a beautiful track

And, and I think that, um, there's a lot of people out there

That can relate to this song with their significant other
