No One To Let You Down
The Head and the Heart Lyrics
When I was a young boy
I watched my father grow old
But now that I'm older
I'm tryin' to let him go
I'm just too damn stubborn now
Ooooh woo-oh-oh
Ooooh woo-oh-oh
Be a good boy, please don't run"
When you got no one around you
There's no one to let you down
When you got no one
There's no one to let you down
Oooh woo-oh-oh
Oooh woo-oh-oh
All day long I sat around and watched my old man shrink in the sun
When you got no one around you
There's no one to let you down
When you got no one
There's no one to let you down
When you got no one
There's no one to let you down
When you got no one
There's no one to let you down

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.

I love Charity, but it's actually really cool sometimes when just these two sing a song together.

@bluefromanairplane I completely agree; because they did put "Josh McBride" on their sophomore effort "Let's Be Still", after playing it on various occasions prior to the album.
