Proof of Theme

Theme

* I chose this song because I like the meaning behind it. And because Birdy is a talented artist.

The song is about finding someone special, 'angel', but knowing it won't last. And to stop hoping for an invisible angel and hope in human angels who love you.

The song is about finding someone special("make us special"), 'angel', but knowing it won't last("Something real that's out of touch")("How unfair..could you give it up?..Would you dare let it go?"). And to stop hoping for an invisible angel ("..not about angels.")and hope in human angels who love you.
