It's very easy to feel like we walk through life alone. It's a confusing thing, especially when your band seems lost in a cycle of never getting any songs completely ready to put out. This song was one of the last songs written before we had a huge moment of refocusing and redefining who we were as a band and as songwriters. That moment came with the completion of "Carry You," which is featured on The EP. "Carry You" was a huge game changer for us; it really pushed us to try to take every song to the next level and not be content with filler songs (like this one) that weren't necessarily bad, but weren't necessarily good either.

lyrics
I can't wait, I don't wanna wait,
for an answer I can't control or create.
Where am I? Where am I?
All I've got is plenty of time,
but could that explain why
I feel left behind?
Where am I? Where am I?
On this road, so narrow,
I take your hand and find home.
I'm giving all I am now,
finding out that somehow,
I'm not alone. You never left my side.
And I say...
I'm giving all I am now,
finding out that somehow,
I'm not alone. You never left my side.
All my wrongs were never enough,
to push you away or separate us.
Where am I? Where am I?
On this road, so narrow,
you take my hand and I know.
I'm giving all I am now,
finding out that somehow,
I'm not alone. You never left my side.
And I say...
I'm giving all I am now,
finding out that somehow,
I'm not alone. You never left my side.
Yeah.
I'm giving all I am now,
finding out that somehow,
I'm not alone. You never left my side.
And I say...
I'm giving all I am now,
finding out that somehow,
I'm not alone.
You never left my side.

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack! H.L.

Oh well, Christmas is approaching... time to buy at least one Christmas album! I'm not a fan of Christmas, as it is celebrated today, nor do I like the typical cheesy Christmas music played everywhere these days. So it had to be something special. The "crash test" for this album was the version of "Silent Night", which nobody managed to get right so far. Well, with the exception of "Falling Up". Frankly, as a fan of Jessy Ribordy, I'm not surprised that much... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Cuts deep and stays with you. There is an earnest honesty in the lyrics that pulls you in. If, like me, you thought this album was merely "good" when you listened to it the first time, give it a few more plays. You might just fall in love with it. Francis Berglund
