When long-time friend and musician Bruce Marelich and I (Mark Lightcap) collaborate on a song, something magical usually happens. The initial idea for Eyes of an Angel started with Bruce who was playing a sweet chord progression at a Bad Daddy practice one day. He had an idea for the melody but no words. Every now and then we would noodle around with it, but never got much further. Finally a story found its way into my mind. Once I had the idea, it wasn't long before I finished the verses, choruses, and bridges, and added a tag on the end for good measure.

We took the idea to the rest of the Bad Daddy band and they loved it. The next step was to produce and record the song. I took particular joy in creating the background harmonies. I channeled songwriting genius Brian Wilson, to bring an ethereal feel to the song. Bruce tracked a powerful yet tender lead vocal that fit the song like a glove.
