If Nothing Breaks, Nothing Moves

IDK, what this is... shoegaze/SleepToken? 


[Verse 1]
What do you want from me? 
How do I fix your pain?
I don't know what you've seen.
I swear I have nothing to gain.

I reach my hand out to pull you
You looked back and ran away
They won't know what I've been through
I'm still trying to live, and not fade. 

[Pre-chorus]
I want to see you fly, 
I want you to be alive
Let me go, let me grieve
I can't look, I can't breathe. 

[Chorus]
When she smiles, hate turns to peace. 
When she cries, we begin to weep.
So hold your head up high
And reach for the sky! 
And when you fall,
You will learn to...
...fly!

[Verse 2]
Move your head closer to mine
I want to hear your heartbeat
I want to taste your skin wrapped in time
I'm too vulnerable, ready to bleed. 

Does it scare you? 
To know this could be our last day alive
I'm terrified to never see you smile.
You can run and hide,
But nothing survives time! 

[Chorus]
When she smiles, hate turns to peace. 
When she cries, we begin to weep.
So hold your head up high
And reach for the sky! 
And when you fall,
You will learn to...
...fly!

[Bridge]
I know it's hard, I know it's scary
But life is nothing but ordinary
We can keep fighting to live
or we can fall into us
I want to smell you one last time
Put your hand into mine
Lock eyes with me at last
And let's finally close this life out

[Chorus]
When she smiles, hate turns to peace. 
When she cries, we begin to weep.
So hold your head up high
And reach for the sky! 
And when you fall,
You will learn to...
...fly!

[Outro]
So think of me when you soar
I'll be here deteriorating
Sinking lower and lower into the floor
But there you'll be...
...In the sky!!

ARCANE ROOTS set to release debut mini album, the awesome ‘Left Fire’ on Feb 21st

ARCANE ROOTS are a very new London based 3 piece who came together in 2009 and are now already set to release their quite incredible debut mini album ‘Left Fire’. Influenced by the likes of Fall of Troy, Foals, Refused and At the Drive-In/The Mars Volta this stunning record manages to be ambitious and pop, heavy and epic, comfortingly familiar and something completely unique - fresh in equal measure and all at the same time.

As Andrew (vocals and guitar) explains, the meanings behind the songs do vary, but have a common thread of working out how to understand the world around you. ‘’In this town of such weather’ is about change, starting again and finding something/someone new to put your energy into. The lyrics were written in Amsterdam (hence the Dutch titled intro) during Autumn 2009. The autumn and winter months are always so inspiring and exciting, it’s about being in such a beautiful place at that time of year and finding a new sense of clarity and direction, and not wanting to lose it.’ While he goes on, regarding ‘You Are’, ‘When this song was first written, it was about trying to figure out what you want from a relationship and how futile that is. But it eventually became (after being re-written more than once) a manual of finding what you want by not looking for it and building something strong from the beginning’. And on the awesome ‘Rouen’, ‘The demise of a relationship in a small town in France, and everything that comes along with it’.

The 5 main tracks are ‘book-ended’ by 3 smaller musical pieces (marked i/ii/iii). These blend musically and thematically throughout the whole album, making it more of a seamless journey and far more than just any regular debut record. Mile-high choruses clash against angular 3 way vocal screams and shouts, packed full of hooks and driving, piercing guitar riffs and a rhythm section constantly changing its mind where to drop you off at. A stunning and brilliant release, one where you hear something new and exciting on each listen. ARCANE ROOTS are a band to cherish and be excited about, and this first release is just the tip of their massive potential.
2011 should be prepared for something very, very special.

Live wise, even though they have only been a touring band for a small while, the band have already toured and played shows with the likes of To The Bones, Sucioperro, Tangled Hair, Hold Your Horse Is and Pharaohs. Look out for headline dates and more support tours before and around the mini album release (all TBA in the coming weeks).

"There are so many genres blended together on this new album from...Arcane Roots that it's almost im
possible to describe their sound...One thing's for sure; the quality rarely dips and the delivery is captivating". “Arcane Roots sound so fresh, special, and deliciously unpredictable. Wherever they go next... It’s sure to be a fascinating listen.” [Rocksound] 8/10 

“Arcane Roots are all about the musical muscle, blending their own brand of At The Drive-In grit with massive Biffy hooks...The production of their latest tunes is ruddy huge...” [Total Guitar]

“Surrey Trio with an ear for melody and appetite for destruction...They look set for a big 2011” [Kerrang!]

 “...Had a damn-near fit explaining exactly how brilliant these dudes were. ...after hearing the bands’  metalled-up At The Drive In-esque and anthemic-yet-weird-time-signatured guitar driven erruptions on record we were well and truly hooked.” [Killing Moon Records]

“Arcane Roots have stumbled onto the perfect combination of pop and rock to create a truly awesome sound...the band have done well to catch their musical power on record, having said this it is live where the band really show their true potential, with a blistering show that leaves you mesmerized and begging for more.” [Alter The Press!]

“...Bulldozing it’s way through... the almost math rock nature past the 3 minute mark, where it all seems to lose control, juddering and flailing everywhere like the ghost of Meet Me In St. Louis.” [Keep It Fast]
