The band was in bliss to see their very first album debut at number 18 on the Billboard Heatseeker's Chart, to reach the 25th pop album on iTunes, to have their single "Reverie" reviewed in USA Today, and to be featured on MTV.com's Buzzworthy Blog, all while touring the entire country several times in support of their record. After all of this, the dual fronted NY native pop/rock act known as The Morning Of is finally gearing up to release a new record after what the band says "feels like forever and a day". These young, yet seasoned touring artists have built their grass roots following as well as their songwriting abilities from the ground up through years of touring and hard work, which is a rare and under-appreciated sight in today's music industry. The band has just finished recording their sophomore album with producer Jim Wirt (No Doubt, Incubus, Hoobstank, Jacks Mannequin, The Rocket Summer) at 4th Street Recording Studios in Santa Monica, CA and are preparing for an early 2010 release on Tragic Hero/East West/Lab Records. "We honestly think that everyone is in for a huge surprise with this record. It's still us, but we've been through so much in the last few years that have drastically changed us as people, artists, and songwriters", says pianist/guitarist Chris Petrosino. "A lot of people don't realize that a lot of the songs on TWAWKI were written when we were 15 and 16 years old, so we're beyond ecstatic to have an honest, relatable record that we're all extremely proud of, and that is current with where we're at as individuals and musicians", adds guitarist Rob McCurdy. "I just absolutely cannot wait for everyone to hear this album that is our own, and to start touring heavily behind this record", concludes vocalist Justin Wiley. Be sure to stay current with The Morning Of as video updates, pictures, live performances of new songs, and eventually the first single and new record are unveiled.

Bring Me Home
The Morning Of Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bring me home
Ive never felt so broken and alone
Ill let the sky swallow me whole
As I head out on my own

I stare down at the city lights
I spread my arms and claimed it mine
...scream for the world to see (?)

That Im not afraid to dream

Bring me home
I never felt so broken and alone
Ill let the sky swallow me whole
As I head out on my own

Deaf ears scream through the sleepless nights
As I battled with the time
Farewell to all the things I knew and all the things I left behind

Bring me home
I never felt so broken and alone
Ill let the sky swallow me whole
As I head out on my own

Bring me home
I never felt so broken and alone
Ill let the sky swallow me whole
As I head out on my own

Just bring me home
Just bring me home
Just bring me home

Let the sky swallow me whole

Bring me home
I never felt so broken and alone
Ill let the sky swallow me whole
As I head out on my own

Bring me home
I never felt so broken and alone
Ill let the sky swallow me whole
As I head out on my own

Just bring me home

Let the sky swallow me whole

Overall Meaning

The city lights spread out before them, and they claim it as their own, screaming out to the world that they are not afraid to dream.

As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the deafening silence of the sleepless nights and the battles with time that have characterized their journey thus far. They bid farewell to everything they have known and left behind, facing the uncertainty of the future with equal measures of fear and hope.

Bring me home
I yearn to return to a place where I feel comfortable and safe

I’ve never felt so broken and alone
I am experiencing intense emotional pain and isolation

I’ll let the sky swallow me whole
I am willing to be consumed by the vastness of the world

As I head out on my own
I am venturing out into the world independently

I stare down at the city lights
I am contemplating the bustling, illuminated city below

I spread my arms and claimed it mine
I feel a sense of empowerment over the city and all it has to offer

...scream for the world to see (?)
I want the world to know that I exist and have dreams

That I’m not afraid to dream
I am unafraid to pursue my aspirations

Deaf ears scream through the sleepless nights
I feel unheard and restless during the night

As I battled with the time
I am struggling to cope with the passage of time

Farewell to all the things I knew and all the things I left behind
I am saying goodbye to the familiar and comfortable aspects of my life that I have left behind

Just bring me home
I want to return to a place that feels like home

Let the sky swallow me whole
I am willing to surrender myself to the vastness of the world
