Cover art for Song for the Angels lyrics by Great Lake Swimmers

A really beautiful song that I love to listen to when I'm falling asleep, it may even help peaceful dreams. I wonder if music can do that?

For me I fell two meanings - both with the power, beauty and awe of life defining relationships.

A more literal one that is the relationship between a person and 'god' or as I'm not religious 'the universe.

And a second interpretation is about the relationship with two people, who have a strong connection although one is absent, perhaps has always been absent, such as a past generation family member, or even a son who lost his mother in childbirth.

or maybe... 'charged with founding the poles' 'just a grain of sand, just a drop of water' The grandiose miracle of individual 'life' contrasted by all of life for all time.
