.ThomasRhett talks about the meaning behind his new single, “Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings).'
So it’s telling that Lauren Akins, who celebrated her 10th anniversary with
His newest single — “Angels ,” which Valory released to country radio via PlayMPE on Jan. 23 — reflects both his gratitude for her and some degree of guilt for his job’s infringements, though Rhett didn’t necessarily intend to be the voice delivering that message. The night before the session, Rhett read a book that raised the possibility of meeting an angel who presents in the physical world as a human being. From that idea, he drifted to the phrase “Angels ” and decided the concept applied to his wife. He introduced that idea during his Nashville writing date with Swims, Josh Thompson and songwriter-producer Julian Bunetta . Everyone bought into it, with Rhett leading the charge.
“It’s not like every movie that Robert De Niro is in, he had to live,” Bunetta reasons. “The greatest artists have always been able to interpret the song the way it needs to be interpreted. Whether or not they lived that is sort of beside the point.” Swims sang over a drum loop and acoustic guitar for the Bunetta-produced demo, but by the next morning, Rhett was already having second thoughts about who should sing it. He checked in with Swims periodically to gauge what was happening with “Angels,” and after several months, got Swims’ permission to keep it for himself. Rhett recorded it with producer Dann Huff , who honored the song’s spacious needs.
