Tall Steve had been carrying around that first beautiful verse from “Seven Angels” for many years. I would often have him play it for me when we shared a room on tour, or before a show if I was feeling unsettled, and I in turn would sing it to my kids when the thunder outside got too loud, or the darkness too dark. One night, during a particularly black storm, the one verse was not enough, and we started counting out the angels, and what sort of light each one was holding. By daylight, the song was written. Here it is (on our MySpace player), hot off the mixing reel, still unmastered – we hope you enjoy it…
