Southern rock band Alabama’s popular ballad “Angels Among Us” has provided comfort to millions since its release in the early 1990s. Now, the song is moving in a whole new direction after being used on the soundtrack to a moving military tribute video.

Alabama has racked up over 30 hits on the Billboard charts since their formation in 1969, but the heartrending “Angels Among Us” remains one of their most well-known and beloved songs. As per Wide Open Country, the song, written by Don Goodman and Becky Hobbs, was originally released as a Christmas single on the band’s album “Cheap Seats.”
