Combining catchy melodic rhythms with heavy breakdowns, Storm The Sky have created a sound different to any other local Victorian band, already being compared by fans to the likes of Australian heavyweights such as ‘The Amity Affliction’, and ‘Dream On Dreamer’.
With an acoustic video already released, a full music video* released mid January, and a lot of touring in 2012, as well as support slots with Dream On, Dreamer, Northlane, Sienna Skies, and many more already under their belt, Storm The Sky are prepared to work hard and hit the Australian music scene in a big way.

Only One
Storm the Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sin is within all the love I have found
I see her face and don't feel anything.
I've been falling child
But my head stays in the clouds
You see I'm leaving but I can't move
Only one I fear is you
I had started a riot, but try as I might
It won't tear you apart
So I decided to die just to
Set us a light but to die is to know what it means to feel alive
Well she don't love me in this life of the next
(I can't lie I'll be forever second best)
Well I ain't alive I'm just here for the fun of it
(Would she rather be alone or dead?)
By the start of the night
I have started a riot, but try as I might
It won't tear you apart
So I decided to die just to
Set us a light
But to die is to know what it means to feel alive
Could you really lose me
'Cause I could really use me now
Destroy my soul and bring my dreams to life
Could you really lose me
'Cause I could really use me now
Destroy my soul bring my dreams to life
I'm sorry child I don't have the strength it takes to say goodbye
Even if it feels right
Could you really lose me
'Cause I could really use me now
Destroy my soul and bring my dreams to life
Could you really lose me
'Cause I could really use me now
Destroy my soul bring my dreams to life
What the fuck can I say to explain this disdain that I find inside her face?
It's like the very sense of staying stings just the same as the truth
She knows I'll be leaving soon
What words can I use to express the pain as I watch her tail lights fade away?
I'm never gonna board this fucking plane
I need you next to me
Could you really lose me
'Cause I could really use me now
Destroy my soul and bring my dreams to life
Could you really lose me
'Cause I could really use me now
Destroy my soul bring my dreams to life
The song "Only One" by Storm the Sky is a dark and brooding piece that revolves around the themes of love, betrayal, and the desire for acceptance. The opening lines of the song - "Forgive me for I have sinned, the sin is within all the love I have found" - set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is confessing his sins and admitting that his love for someone is causing him to do things that he shouldn't be doing. The following lines - "I see her face and don't feel anything, I've been falling child but my head stays in the clouds" - suggest that the singer's love is not reciprocated, and that he is struggling to come to terms with this.
In the chorus, the singer admits that the only person he fears in this situation is the person he loves. He knows that he needs to leave, but he can't seem to bring himself to do it. The second verse continues in the same vein, with the singer confessing that he tried to start a riot to tear the object of his affection away from her current life, but it didn't work.
The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, with the singer pleading with his lover not to let him go. The final verse suggests that the singer is about to leave, but he can't bring himself to do it. The song ends on a somewhat ambiguous note, leaving the listener to wonder what will happen to the singer and his love interest.

I still can't watch this video without crying
I've lost so many people in my life
Including my first real love at the age of 14. (Call it puppy love all you want, everyone does, but it hits just as much and forces you to grow up fast) and my father at 11. My uncle committed suicide, and so many others.
I'm 31 now and I can't count the amount of times I've tried to end it, myself. Living with loss and regrets is so hard.
But I'm trying really hard. I've met beautiful people who I know care deeply for me and don't judge me.
It's so hard to be connected to people, though, because it feels like every time I do they just end up dying.
You'd think that after all this time and so many losses it would get easier, but it still hits me just as hard every time.
Sorry to give my life story, it's just crazy how real this song and video is. How deeply it still connects within me.
Thank you Storm The Sky for making this.
I always hear people telling me to listen to happy music, but I can't connect to that.
The thing that really helps is stuff like this, because it helps, even just a little bit, to know that I'm not alone in my suffering.
Thank you to anybody who read this.
And to anybody feeling pain like I am, you are not alone. Maybe that can bring a sort of comfort. I hope it can. You are beautiful and you are loved.

This is the first Rise Records music video that actually had decent actors and made sense to the song. Good job Patrick Harvey, keep it up.

I really love this song, it means so much to me and it's amazing to listen and watch live, the emotion Will puts into this song just makes me cry every time. I've met the band twice now, but I've never had the courage to tell them how much Only One means to me, hopefully next time I see them I will...
Katherine Hamilton
Absolutely heart wrenching, you guys are amazing i listen to this album on repeat.
