Tom Pacheco - Angel

American singer/songwriter Tom Pacheco's "Angel", the true story of a war veteran friend of his, is one of my favourite songs. A deeply touching tale of a man and his demons, his humanity, and his (almost) inevitable demise. Sorry about the poor quality of the clip, but this is Tom alone and his guitar, and you can hear every word. Please listen carefully to the lyrics, as it's a great example of Pacheco's songwriting abilities as well as a story you should hear. It's actually quite important and gives the listener a few things to ponder. A perfect picture of empathy if ever there was one.
