Are you guys having fun yet, lol.  Nice teamwork. Thank you

We are so excited to share the first song in our series of singles that tells a continuous story. With every new release, another piece of the story will be revealed. Plus, we've partnered up with talented line artist Kenzie Manson for the single artwork for each song! After such a tumultuous 2020, I think we’re all eager to soak in the Ordinary Things. The things we have missed SO much this past year! Having coffee someone you love, holding someone's hand for the first time, sharing a story at lunch with a friend, your first kiss with your lover, listening to your Grandpa tell you stories of his childhood, hugging your mama, seeing your favorite artist in concert, late nights in with your sister or brother.... 
all the small moments that sometimes go unnoticed in the busy life we live. This song highlights the simple moments that we will sit back and cherish as our life is coming to a close. This is the first chapter. We hope you'll join us for the whole story. 💙

Ordinary Things

bit of a parable on attention and who gets it and when, a la "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to"

lyrics
this morning's just like any other, 'cept I'm waking up in bed alone
i guess last night, it got too crazy, you decide to take your ass home
god, my head is reeling, did we really lose our cool in front of
all these people neither of us know
wasn't our worst day
but it was my birthday
mm

roll out of bed at noon to see the streamers lining up and down the halls
somebody left their wallet in my kitchen, I should give them a call
I open up the window just to let a little wind blow and it's
hotter than november should be
I wish you were with me
I wish we were happy

didn't mean to make this night about me
we know that that's usually you
I just thought that maybe once a year I'd
get to be the focus too

I know that it's you against the world
but I was the birthday girl

it's gonna take a little more than garbage bags to clean up our mess
an hours' passed, it's overcast, I'm waiting by the phone for your text
i wish you'd say you're sorry, but instead you say fuck parties
and now honestly I wish I was surprised
always the nice guy
never the right guy

didn't know when I was decorating you would tear the whole thing down
crossed the line beyond just entertaining, acting like a fucking clown
mm

this morning I'm a little older, feeling just a little less wise
I wish there was a pill to take, erase the look of shame from my eyes
i didn't know the night would turn after my candles ceased to burn
so birthday girl it's time to face your fear
wipe away your tears
there's always next year

birthday girl

Folk-Americana duo Of Sea and Stone began in January 2014 when Luke Dierker and Morgan Manson matched on Tinder. Immediately exhibiting a rare vocal chemistry, the two began writing and performing across their home state, Missouri. In 2016, the pair got married and began recording their first full-length studio album, self-titled Of Sea and Stone and released in December 2017. Ahead of the release, the duo packed up their home and hit the road with a full time tour schedule. They have shared the stage with several talented artists, including Judah and the Lion, Tyler Hilton, and Hush Kids. They have played the historic Blueberry Hill Duck Room in St. Louis, the notable Stubb's BBQ in Austin, The Mint in Los Angeles, 12 Today News in Phoenix, and Good Morning San Diego among many other venues. Their current tour dates can be found on their website at www.ofseaandstone.com/tour
 
Of Sea and Stone is known for their intimate lyrics, polished vocal harmonies, and captivating live show. Their 2019 single I Love You, Goodbye, and its accompanying music video, premiered on Nashville’s The Boot and is a sterling example of this couple’s heartbreaking vocals and haunting lyrical exchange. Their recent single Ordinary Things is the first release in a series of singles that share the story of a couple, the beauties of life and the pitfalls of their young relationship growing old. “There’s an atmospheric energy, a fiddle, and a quality lead vocal in the opening of this song... and once the vocal harmony enters the track, you’ll stop dead in your tracks,” says Greg Jones of Ear To The Ground Music. Of Sea and Stone never fails to transport you, making you feel their pain, joy, grief, and endless love throughout every performance.
