With three #1 albums, six top ten singles, sold out arena shows and well over a million album sales behind them, as well as being chosen to record the official England World Cup song, Embrace were on the crest of a wave when they suddenly vanished without a trace.
In April 2014 after eight years of silence, Embrace released their first studio album since 2006. Conveying a rawer, darker sound whilst still keeping their signature anthems and huge choruses. The self-titled album Embrace on Cooking Vinyl reached No 5 in the UK Charts on release.
In 2018, Firth and Heaton co-formed the punk rock band Land Sharks.
Embrace have released six studio albums so far:
- The Good Will Out (1998)

2) Embrace was a short-lived post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C., often cited as pioneering the Revolution Summer movement and by extension indie pop/indie rock, from the summer of 1985 to the spring of 1986. The group was primarily noteworthy because of its well-known members, joining Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and The Teen Idles with guitarist Michael Hampton, drummer Ivor Hanson, and bassist Chris Bald, all former members of the pioneering band Faith. Hampton had also played in S.O.A. with Henry Garfield (later known as Henry Rollins). All four members had been involved in popular and influential bands in the nascent D.C. punk scene since the late 1970s. The only album released by the quartet was their self-titled album Embrace.
For hardcore icon MacKaye, Embrace represented a transitional project between the short and fast sound of his youth and the later melodic tones of his current work (after his often maligned Egg Hunt project with Dischord Records co-founder Jeff Nelson, and the Ministry crossover Pailhead). MacKaye eventually teamed up with former members of Rites of Spring to form the long-running punk outfit Fugazi, while Hampton earlier played with Fugazi’s Guy Picciotto, as well as Embrace’s co-producer Edward Janney, in One Last Wish. Bald moved on to the band Ignition, and drummer Ivor Hanson paired up with Hampton again in 1992 for Manifesto.
3) Embrace is a new collaboration between dutch trance producers Ferry Corsten and Raz Nitzan, the latter best known as part of the vocal team Raz & Adrian
4) Embrace is a Gothic Metal band from Toronto, Canada. They play a heavy, "doomy" version of Gothic Metal. Formed in 1994. They released an album titled Coven the Eternal in 1995.
Gravity
Embrace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
And I can't stop now
Such a long time running
And I can't stop now
Do you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear the sound?
'Cause I can't help thinking
And I don't look down
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
All the way that gravity turns for you and me
And then I looked up at the sky and saw the sun
And the way that gravity pulls on everyone
On everyone
Baby, it's been a long time waiting
Such a long, long time
And I can't stop smiling
No, I can't stop now
Do you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear the sound?
'Cause I can't help crying and I won't look down
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
All the way that gravity turns you and me
And then I looked up at the sun and saw the sky
And the way that gravity pulls on you and I
On you and I
Can you hear my heart beating?
Oh do you hear that sound?
'Cause I can't help crying and I won't look down
The song "Gravity" by Embrace expresses the emotions of a person who has been waiting for something for a long time and has finally achieved it. The singer is overwhelmed by the feeling and can't stop their heart from beating, crying, and smiling. They feel like they have been running for a long time and can't stop now, and they don't want to look down from where they have reached.
The chorus of the song talks about gravity and its impact on everyone. The singer looks up at the sun and realizes how gravity turns everything, including ourselves, and how it pulls on everyone. It's a metaphor for the force of attraction, which can be physical or emotional. The singer is experiencing this force pulling them towards their goals, their dreams, or possibly, someone special.
The song can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the listener's perspective. It can be seen as a celebration of achieving something after a long time or a reminder to keep pushing towards your goals, to keep running towards your dreams. It can also be seen as a love song, with gravity representing the force that pulls two people together, and the joy and excitement that come with it.
