The story behind the song

"Broken Halos" was inspired by the passing of people before their time, with Chris Stapleton recording the song shortly after a longtime friend died. It's a song that meditates on the wounds people suffer and the path toward healing. The lyrics offer a tender reminder to keep faith even in tragedy, suggesting that angels appear to help us but leave when their job is done, and we aren't meant to understand why. It plays like a reflection on loss, faith, and the journey through grief.
