“When It All Falls” is officially available everywhere now!
The political landscape of the last year was defined by mass mobilization, polarization, and uncertainty. Visions of final confrontation seemed to be projected everywhere. Just around the corner, on the tip of the tongue, was a culminating conflict between us and them, with the power to pit neighbor against neighbor and destroy families from the inside. A question loomed: How bad could it get?
“We started this song during the George Floyd protests and finished it just after January 6th. In between, there was also, you know, an election, one that infused daily life with profound anxiety. We wanted to speak to all of that” -Jonny 5
This song was our response, a trip into the psyche to face the terrifying reality that peace and safety are always tenuous, often conditional, and never guaranteed. The evidence is everywhere: demonizing enemies quickly leads to dehumanizing ourselves.
But no matter how bad it gets, no matter how far down that path we walk, we still hold the power to change any situation. Even when it all falls and chaos and confusion reign, if I listen to the truest voice inside me, nothing will stop me from saving your life.
