Gone
The Head and the Heart Lyrics
There were times you should have stalled
As you sailed into the fog
Like a dog, I smelled your fear
God knows you should have been here with me
But you were gone
These days roll sleepily by
I can hear the old trains cry
There will always be a moon
pulling me away from you
Gone are the days when the wind would brush my face
Gone are the days when you're the wind
Gone are the days when my heavy heart is worn on my sleeve
Take back your pictures
Take back your letters
Don't send me no postcards
Telling me you miss me
Cause I'm trying here, I'm trying here
And fuck what they're saying
My mind is made up
And they're all just starving
Like the rest of us
And I'm trying here, I'm trying here
Gone are the days when the wind would brush my face
Gone are the days when you're the wind
Gone are the days when your heavy heart is worn on my sleeve

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.

There were times you should have stalled
As you sailed into the fog
Like a dog I smelled your fear
Lord knows you should have been here with me
But you were gone
Now these days roll sleepily by
I can hear the old trains cry
There will always be a moon pulling me away from you
You're gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone are the days when the wind would brush my face
Gone are the days when you're the wind, and
Gone are the days when my heavy heart is worn on my sleeve
So take back your pictures
Take back your letters
Don't send me no postcards telling me you miss me
'Cause I'm trying here
I'm trying here
And fuck what they're saying
'Cause my mind is made up
And they're all just starving like the rest of us
And I'm trying here
Oh, I'm trying here
And you don't even see
Gone are the days when the wind would brush my face
Gone are the days when you're the wind, and
Gone are the days when my heavy heart is worn on your sleeve
Whether it's your head or your heart
And you're too damn scared to start
It's in your mind and your soul
But you just don't know where to go
It's in your head and your heart
And you're too damn scared to start
It's in your mind and your soul
But you just don't know where to go
Now you're gone
