Said The Sky and William Black Gather the Fragments of Heartache in “All Falls Down”
When longtime collaborators Said The Sky and William Black come together, the emotional weight of their music is anything but happenstance.
Their latest release, a collaboration with Melodie Wagner called "All Falls Down," mirrors the delicate act of picking up the pieces after a shattering heartbreak, a theme they've explored in previous works but never with such raw vulnerability. The duo has once again crafted music that delves deep into the trials of love and loss.
An exquisite blend of future-pop and melodic bass, "All Falls Down" falls in the gray area where vulnerability and strength are deliriously blurred. The track's emotional core lies in its lyrics, which grapple with the trepidation of giving oneself fully in the wake of heartache. From a production standpoint, its soaring synths serve as a cathartic release, carrying listeners through waves of heavy-hitting 808s.
The song speaks to the universal experience of seeking companionship in the darkest hour, a sentiment beautifully captured in its melancholic melodies and emotionally charged production. As its arrangement crescendos, it mirrors the journey of attempting to rebuild after a fall, a theme that resonates with anyone who has ever felt the sting of a broken heart.
Black, an EDM.com Class of 2021 inductee, and Said The Sky are expected to debut "All Falls Down" live at the Brooklyn Mirage on September 1st, when the S2O Festival rolls into town.
