Review a Day: Soldier's Angel

Wow. Seriously, I can't pick which song I like best on this album.  The more that I listen to the album, the more that I seem to find new favorites!  This song, "Soldier's Angel," is a song dedicated to those brave soldier's who have served our country within the past decade. Lindsey Buckingham sings vocals and plays guitar on the song.  Gosh, it is just pure heaven when those two voices blend together isn't it?

Track 9: "Soldier's Angel"


In 2006, Stevie Nicks  visited the heroic soldiers overseas in Iraq and actually donated hundreds of Ipods to the wounded soldiers. Nicks included some of her songs on the Ipods, as well as songs by Aerosmith and Elvis Presley. She simply wanted the soldiers to feel  better and uplifted.  She was deeply effected by her interaction with those soldiers and that is where the inspiration of this song came from.

Stevie Nicks told People Magazine that any one of those soldiers could have been her own child.  "You can't help but fall in love with them," Nicks said.

"Through the eyes of a soldier, I am a soldier's mother."-"Soldier's Angel"

Whether it is present day in Iraq or whether it was over 100 years ago during the Civil War, we are all connected to those who served our country.  As Americans, we have an obligation to support those who have served our country. We may not support the war, but we can support those who sacrificed their lives to defend our country.
