"Angels In Everything" by Blue October

Most people first became aware of Blue October in 2006 thanks to their breakthrough album, "Foiled". That album spawned hits like "Hate Me" and "Into The Ocean", which went to #31 and #53 on the Billboard Top 100, respectively. 

A second hit has been elusive for the band, but this really shouldn't be the case. Drawing comparisons to Peter Gabriel, lead singer and songwriter Justin Furstenfeld is one of the more cerebral lyricists of our day. Granted their music can be moody and dark, but there are moments when all the planets align and you get a wonderful song like "Angels In Everything". There are plenty other moments like this in the band's catalog. 

"Angels In Everything" was the second single from the band's 2013 effort, "Sway". It should have performed much better to cement Blue October as a household name.
