"Soldiers Angel" article

paleshadow · #1 02-24-2011, 03:39 AM

Just saw this small write up from VH1 Artists Direct regarding Lindsey working with Stevie on the song "Soldiers Angel". I wonder if "ominous sounding" means Lindsey will be breaking out his snake voice that he used on Illume?

Rhiannon and Miranda sound ominous to me and I know it's not going to be even on the same planet as either of those. So, I wish she would not get my hopes up.

By ominious, she might mean that Lindsey is doing his inexplicable whisper croaking, which inspires most who hear it with troubling questions and a sense of dread.

"ominousity"

I'm sure she meant ominousness

But you wouldn't say that to Bob Dylan! :/

I heard it on saturday and ominous is a good word to describe it. There were no weird whisperings or snake sounds. Lindsey was just doing great harmony with her on it. I'd describe it as a serious sounding song. Kinda like Illume, but no whisper/snake stuff.

Please tell me the words "Walter," "Reed," and "Iraq" do not appear in the song.

None of them appeared in the poem, so I'm guessing no.

^Thanks for posting the poem. It was great to read it again.

I loved the song when I heard and I agree with Jamie's description.
The music had a very ethereal feel to it which were contrasted by the heavy lyrics. Kinda reminded me of Desert Angel. J/K!!

It's sounds nothing like D.A. but it did remind me of the whole idea of her writing about soldiers and war. She talked with great passion and emotion about those she's visited at Walter Reed. It obviously has made a significant impact on her and she loves talking to them, even if they "have no idea who I am" is what she said lol.
