Your Tired Friend seems to have delved into some deep and dark corners of musical inspirations and of the psyche in the writing and refining of “Angel.” The song was born as an improvisation and shaped by live performances to land upon a deeply moody downtempo track about yearning for something you lost that can be idealized in your heart because of distance from how whatever and whoever it was would cause you some distress as exemplified by the line “Pull me apart like you used to.” The languid jazz guitar, the pulsing percussion and ghostly synths tracing the soulful vocal line speak to the ache for the romanticized presence the way chaos and drama can seem exciting from a distance for many people, something better than what might be perceived as the tedium of “normal” life. The music video in black and white seems to parallel what might be called the lack of color in one’s life minus what one felt like to be the spark that gave life more of a thrill.
