Marsha Swanson has always had a way of reaching into the deepest corners of the heart, and with “Like An Angel”, she does it again—only this time, it feels even more intimate. Originally a hidden gem on “Near Life Experience”, the song has now been fully realized with a live band and a breathtaking string section, elevating it into something truly magical.
From the very first notes, there’s an undeniable warmth to “Like An Angel”, as if it’s wrapping itself around you in comfort. Marsha’s voice—delicate yet powerful—carries a quiet strength that lingers long after the song ends. Her ability to balance vulnerability with confidence is what makes this track so special. It’s reflective, dreamy, and deeply human.
The production is amazing, thanks to Henry (King Thumb) Thomas and the exceptional musicianship of Martyn Barker, Tony Qunta, and Anders Olinder. Every element feels intentional, from the intricate guitar work to the subtle, emotive swells of the strings. The result? A track that feels like a spiritual experience—timeless and transcendent.
