And they hear the crowd calling out for more, etc.
I'm not sure about the 'sad' in sad angel. I'm not sure sure who did and didn't want to tour, but it's almost like lindsey is saying, 'c'mon, stevie, you know were are supposed to do this - it's what we do, let's go.' Was stevie reluctant to tour?
Of course, this could all be way off, but I like the idea that it's kind of anthem-like, and in that light, it's simply awesome. If you can hear past the drumming, the nuances of the guitar licks are so good. And Stevie's voice sounds great in it too.

Basicly, I had these thoughts too. They recorded without Stevie, she was sad at home. That's his sad angel. And they recorded after Lindsey secretly wrote them and recorded basics with Froom. So he wrote this song to call her to come back to their war. F8cking beautiful.
By the way, I totally love the drumgroove. And John's parts sound spectacular.
