The story behind the song

"Angela," from The Lumineers' 2016 album Cleopatra, tells the story of a small-town success struggling to break free from her past. The song's namesake comes from lead singer Wesley Schultz's ex-girlfriend, Angela Henard, who he noted still holds a place in his heart and appears in multiple songs. This track captures the bittersweet essence of a love that didn't work out, yet leaves a lasting imprint. At its heart, it plays like a tender reflection on enduring connections and the ghosts we carry with us.
