STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 86 - That's What Angels Can Do - The Wood Brothers (Cover)

Back for another round of Steemit open mic! Thanks for your kind words on last week's entry @luzcypher, @krystle, @soundlegion, @passion-ground & @verbal-d. I didn't get around to thanking you all individually so thought I'd do a quick one here :)

I love this song by The Wood Brothers, on the album 'Ways Not to Lose' it's a really rough sounding demo track with some odd water trickling noise in the background (maybe a fountain?) That aside, it shines through as a really raw & powerful piece of songwriting which sounds equal parts sad & beautiful.

Lyrics

You pushed my buttons
Started me knowin' things I already knew
How did you understand
With the palm of your hand

I guess that's what angels can do
Angels can do

You held my burden
Rested my bones in your arms sweet and true
How did you stay so strong
And kiss me so long

I guess that's what angels can do
I guess that's what angels can do
Angels can do
That's what angels can do

You pulled my trigger
The song that rang out was so pretty and new
How did you get so wise
With one look in my eyes

I guess that's what angels can do
I guess that's what angels can do
I guess that's what angels can do
Angels can do
That's what angels can do
