Sometimes, songs come ridiculously easy and out of
nowhere. When I was inspired to write Sweet Angel Blue Eyes, I had been on a date with
my brown-eyed girlfriend. When I got home, I picked up my guitar, and that was that. Words and music just flowed out of me
and within 15 minutes, Sweet Angel Blue Eyes was born.
I didn’t even have the intention of
creating music that night. It just
happened. It was like getting a
gift - a gift that will keep on giving forever. Playing that song that first time was like I had played it
1,000 times before. Not a word or
note has been changed since. It still amazes me.
What I like most about Sweet Angel Blue Eyes is that it
has a traditional love song feel to it – like something the Platters would
sing. This song truly combines the
feel of a 50’s ballad with the production of an 80’s power ballad – moving from
the acoustic guitar and soft melody into heavier electric guitar mid-way
through the song.
As I'm sure you can all relate, there are very few times in life that something so right
happens so easily. Each time I
hear Sweet Angel Blue Eyes, I am transported back to the night when the song
wrote itself. This song affirmed
that I was on the right track for the dream to become reality.
