The band consists of Josiah Johnson (vocals, guitar), Jonathan Russell (vocals, guitar), Charity Rose Thielen (violin, vocals), Chris Zasche (bass), Kenny Hensley (keyboards) and Tyler Williams (drums).

Composed primarily of transplants to the Seattle area, The Head and the Heart write and play songs that speak to the newness of a fresh start, of the ghosts left behind, of moving forward, all brimming with a soulfulness and hope for a better life than the one we've all been sold.

Stylistically, think a folksy Beatles or The Avett Brothers with a little extra oomph. Catchy piano melodies stand side by side with a tight trio of harmonies, and solid minimalist drums, groovin' bass, and plenty of hand percussion and foot stomps make the live show inspiring and really goddamn fun.

After the band self-released its eponymous debut album in June 2010, the emblematic Seattle label Sub Pop re-released the album. For the Sub Pop version, the song “Sounds like Hallelujah” has been re-recorded, live favorite “Rivers and Roads” has been added, and the album has been re-mastered.

The band's second album "Let's Be Still" was released on October 15, 2013.

The band released their third studio album, "Signs of Light", in September 2016.

The band's fourth album, "Living Mirage", was released in May 2019.

Band member Josiah Johnson released his debut solo album, "Every Feeling On a Loop", in September 2020.

All We Ever Knew
The Head and the Heart Lyrics


When I wake up in the morning
I see nothing
For miles and miles and miles
When I sleep in the evening, oh lord
There she goes, only in dreams
She's only in dreams
Well, well my love
We've been here before
Don't drag me through this again
We tried everything under the sun

Now I'm trying to wake up from this
I'm trying to make up for it

All we ever do, is all we ever knew
La la la la la la

You don't see why you would there's no love to give
Well what goes around comes around
I know sometimes you get so caught in a dream
But now it's time to wake up from this
It's time to make up for it

It's time to wake up from this
Yes it's time to wake up from this
It's time to make up for it

All we ever do (all we ever do) is all we ever knew
La la la la la la

I'm feeling low, feeling high
Feeling down, why isn't this enough?
I'm feeling low, feeling high
Feeling down, why isn't this enough?

All we ever do is all we ever knew
All we ever do
It's time to wake up from this
La la la la la la

💙 ALL WE EVER KNEW 💙

When I wake up in the morning
I see nothing
For miles and miles and miles
When I sleep in the evening
Oh, Lord
There she goes
Only in dreams, she's only in dreams

Well, well my love
We've been here before
Don't drag me through this again
We've tried everything under the sun
Now I'm trying to wake up from this
I'm trying to make up for it

All we ever do
Is all we ever knew
(La la la la la la
La la la la la la

La la la la la)

You don't see why your world has no love to give
Well, what goes around comes around
I know sometimes you get so caught in a dream
But now it's time to wake from this

It's time to make up for it
It's time to wake up from this
Yes, it's time to wake up from this
It's time to make up for it

All we ever do
Is all we ever knew
(La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la)

I'm feeling low, feeling high
Feeling down, why isn't this enough?
I'm feeling low, feeling high
Feeling down, why isn't this enough?

All we ever do
Is all we ever knew
All we ever do
It's time to wake up from this

Spencer Read

i wish theyd do more promotion of the album, i wanna hear the other songs acoustic like they did for the other albums.

Eva Maria

Ahhh, this song is so good!

mmsbballmac

This is one of the most cathartic break up songs out there. So thankful for it. I listened to it a lot as my on/off again relationship was ending and the words "it's time to wake up from this" just felt to right and true and good.

When I heard their first album, I knew I would love everything these guys ever made.

Unfortunately, it's just so hard without Josiah. I liked the third album, but if it had been the first one I'd ever heard from these guys, I would have forgotten about them a long time ago.

i feel like their entire story is so sad, and was foreshadowed by all their music
