#fall or fly

[iheartmoosiq]

The Rigs may be new to IHM, but TJ Stafford and Caitlin Parrott, who began collaborating in 2014, have already had their music placed in a plethora of films and television shows, from HBO’s True Blood to AMC’s The Walking Dead and much, much more. Grandly marching, dusky pulsing new single Fall Or Fly showcases why with its emotively charged power and bewitching vocals. Its a resolute anthem whose intensity is near operatic. Fall Or Fly’s thickly layered and atmospherically expansive electro rock is interspersed with bittersweet, inky pop, conjuring the likes of PVRIS and Transviolet, but overlaid with thick trouncing electronic beats. Fall Or Fly is the first single lifted from The Rigs’ upcoming album, due out this October.

Fall, Fly

Fall or Fly? Earth or Sky? Fluffy clouds that disperse throughout the bright blue sea. A chill breeze that rustles the leaves on the trees which flourish in the cool earth. Water falls from the clouds in the sky that build the sea which nourishes the earth. Earth or Sky? Fall or Fly?

We can fall, it's up to each of us to learn to fly or smash on the ground.

Free Fall from a Cliff

I dream of you and me and wings And they all laugh me But I promise you, that will change when I’m soaring free. My love for you lives on In the sea, the leaves, the sky but This is suicidal, For a bird who cannot fly. So I’ll take off the only way a wingless woman has learned; Because falling for you Was flying Until I crashed and burned.

STEP TWO: Relinquish the old

We all have uncontrollable habits, some more intrinsic than others, that worm their way into our very existence and infiltrate our lives to the point where we no longer govern ourselves, we are dictated to by them. I speak of 'them' as another entity because although we think we are ourselves, in some strange and tragic way we are no longer independent. Habits can be conforming to societal norms, or constantly thinking 'I'm not good enough'  and this in turn ensures that we harms ourselves in order to be the sickness that is 'normal', for we're all just trying to fit in to the point that we have forgotten how to be ourselves. But, what if we didn't have to? whoever fucking had the audacity to 'define normality' anyway? The sad truth is, 'us', we did it and we will always do it. Change trends, expect others to follow and ridicule them if they dont. So I guess I'm not sure where that leaves me. I wish I could say that I was heroic enough to defy everyones expectations...but I can't relinquish the habits, don't know how and perhaps don't want to. Its safe.  Maybe open recognition of these flaws in humanity will allow me to find the serendipity that I crave...something so different, exciting and so new that I and only I will have the ability to define myself. So in this blind journey that is life, will i fall or fly?
