A Punch In The Gut Called Feelings

The Lumineers became a household name when 'Ho Hey' was released in 2012, sending all calls to the nearest radio station to play the song on repeat for days on end. Okay, maybe not on repeat but let's face it, you could sing along without actually have heard the song all the way through.

But let's fast-forward to this year and with a bit of a nostalgic throwback the track 'Angela' from the Cleopatra album; rushed to break through to the surface. While the song was buried beneath all the new music from the last four years it goes to show the punch 'Angela' possesses . Plus 'Angela' did not get as nearly the attention the song deserves, but since that time has passed, we can appreicate the quality for which the song stands for today.

Attracted to the acoustic strings where a dream-hazed memory surfaces (you may have never known anyone named Angela, yet feel a connection to an individual or your own past events) allowing those recalling thoughts to ponder. Taken aback once the track hits its half finished mark, an unraveling of sorts follows through. Becoming more transparent by describing specific events and moments that has shaped this person. While directing our attention to a beautiful arrangement of instruments 'Angela' unfolds as a documentary into the heart and soul of who The Lumineers are as song-writers. And who would not love a fact as such.
