“Angelina”, the second track on "Everything So Far", is another prime example of this. Americana guitars carry us into a clap-along type of melody, where vocals crescendo in like a slow gust of wind on a muggy day. At the height of the tune, lead singer Evan Stephens Hall comes to an emotional burst, proclaiming, “I love you like it’s the old days / when I could ask you anything," and then painfully questions: “How’d you get so tangled up in my thinking?” “Angelina” is an intentionally-left-empty summer day spent sprawled out on the sofa while the one you love circles your brain like a hungry bumblebee. It fades out the way you fall asleep, thoughts murmuring to a quiet backdrop.
Evan wrote about “Angelina” in his reddit AMA in March 2016.
"it’s basically 3 different melodies over the same chords, in different vocal registers. i try to play with the tension of it by selectively introducing symmetrical melodies on different layers of the song. it all feels familiar because basically it’s just variations on the same thing. i use the same trick in “Aphasia.”"
