The House We Grew Up In

In your eyes, I have seen all the feeling and the rains. 
And death is cold, death is sure. 
Why don’t we all fall in love? 

The Lighthouse and the Whaler - 'This is an Adventure' LP - Venice"

Sensation of Falling, which consists of Sawyer Johnston, (songwriter, vocals and bass) Andrew Graves, (drums and percussion) and Dean Cates (guitar and electronics), jump-started their musical career by winning Appalachian State’s annual Battle of the Bands in 2014 as their first show together. The group has progressed quickly, and, after only a year of living in the same town, they began recording their debut album in December. The 9-track LP was recorded at Sensation of Falling’s home studio, but produced by Ben Mercer at Wet Bandit Audio. According to Andrew Graves, “the goal of this album was to create music that we want to listen to. When I put on an album, I expect a cohesive work of art. I hope we can give listeners that experience.” In spite of the range of sounds on “The Lost Limit” – from the eponymous opener, which sounds like a blend of Nirvana and the Beatles, to the closer “All You Can Afford,” which would be more at home on a Fleet Foxes record – the album feels singular, tight, and rooted in feeling rather than flash.

Before There's Me

First single off the debut EP.

LYRICS:
such a sunny day for such cloudy inhibition
they don't mean what they say in hopes that we will listen
if they said what they meant then we would know what we've been missin
so instead they keep us and they teach us what we're wishin
they read their scripted lines and nail our heads to the ground
are feet grow to the skies as they hold us upside down
now every time we smile they gladly see us frown
as we're bound to kiss the feet of the man wearing the crown

CHORUS:
we don't stop
we work to the bone
and they reap what we sow
just to sit on their throne
there's no god
in a broken home

it's such a tragedy, this commonality
of all these people's needs bein belittled
this harsh reality has got us on our knees
these innocent people getting caught up in the middle
them waves, them waves, the water runs steady
they wait, they wait until that burden grows heavy
they don't start runnin till it's been comin
they wait till it's in their face

CHORUS

them waves, them waves, the water runs steady
they wait, they wait until that burden grows heavy
they don't start runnin till it's been comin
they wait till it's in their face

CHORUS

Idle Hands
