I’m sinking an atmospheric ballad about a quiet battle happening beneath the surface. The lyrics portray the sensation of sinking into your own doubts while the pressure of the world tightens around you. Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, gentle piano, minimal percussion, and dark ambient layers create space for a vulnerable male vocal fighting to breathe. The song captures exhaustion, fragility, and the weight of one’s own mistakes.

I’m sinking

Tribulation

Burned By The Love

Some of our most enduring rock and roll is built upon the following truth: Sometimes you have to replant yourself to find your roots. Nearly a decade ago, three of the four young members of Ithaca, New York, quartet X Ambassadors left home with great ambition, vowing not to look back. Like so many small-town kids before them, they yearned to find fame and fortune in the city. They wanted, as they confess in one of their most powerful new songs, to “   go big.”    And after years of hustling rock stardom felt imminent. But something was missing. Some bands never get that missing piece back, but the potentially great ones go looking for it. More often than not, the search leads them right back home. X Ambassadors’     stomping, syncopated full-length debut, VHS, is all about that exploration. Ironically it proved to be a journey — as the antiquated technology name-checked in the album’    s title indicates — through the past.
