Dean Brody was born in Jaffray, British Columbia, Canada.[2] As a boy, Brody worked at a sawmill, also playing guitar in his spare time. By 2004, he had moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue his musical career. Although he found a songwriting contract, the expiration of his US work permit forced him to move back to Canada. Eventually, he returned to Nashville through the suggestion of producer Keith Stegall, who helped him sign with Broken Bow Records in 2008.[2] Brody released his debut single, "Brothers", late that year. Shortly before its release, Brody was injured in a waterskiing accident.[3]
Angelina
Dean Brody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Started just for fun but we wound up gettin kinda serious
Now summers come and leavin baby and taking you with it
The trunk of your car and bottle chimes clanking in the wind
So I'll spill my heart one last time on this old guitar
Angelina, I'm gonna miss your sun kissed face
Freckle smile, soft eyes and your daisy chains, how you made my world come undone
If what you left behind was really love
Yeah oooo Angelina, Yeah
Take my memory with you, how I held you on the old pier
Lanterns on the water your head on my chest bon fires in the salt air
Its cold in Chicago baby and you just can't get warm enough
I've been fishing down on ocean road hoping you might show up
Cause you'll know where to go when you get that ache in your soul
Yeah you will
Angelina, I'm gonna miss your sun kissed face
Freckle smile, soft eyes and your daisy chains, how you made my world come undone
Angelina, maybe you'll be back again someday
If what you left behind was really love
Yeah oooo Angelina, Yeah
Oooo Angelina Yeah

I loved this song the first time I heard it . The electric guitars ,and violins are creating colours that make this tune something you can't hear enough of ......never underestimate the importance of space and dynamics that can be the important pieces of a tune that really rocks @chrismorin44

Whichever record company executive decided this ISNT a hit single should be FIRED and have his balls cut off. I dont get it, this is obviously the best song on the album, a HUGE hit if given the chance, its an absolute travesty that this youtube clip is all that people will find when they search for it, rather than a killer video.
