Transcript of a Lauren Bateman performance of the song “Guardian Angel.” The speaker introduces the song as one she wrote for an aunt diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, notes the aunt was given about one year to live and later passed, and then sings/recites repeated lyrical lines about carrying the aunt’s memory and her watching over the singer. The clip appears to be an on-stage, album-track performance with spoken dedication and song lyrics.
