The Song That Wrote Itself: Sweet Angel Blue Eyes

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.
