about

Lofty Stills returns after a year's absence with the crushing new single "Every Fight," a swirling drama of folk stylings, deep country undertones, rich synths, and lush strings, providing an ambitious soundtrack to the anguish within us. A decided departure from earlier work, "Every Fight" marks the beginning of a new sonic direction for Lofty Stills, and just a taste of what's to come.

LYRICS:

Hey man is it always you? I did not fare this right
Spine is splitting, cloudy view
I've lost every fight

But if you should go, I will never know
languid in the night, how long til the light
How long does it hurt? is there more to earn
falling toward my faithful end?

Though feel like I could snap in two
I did not fail this time
lace the sun around my hand, don't falter in the brine

I will wait, every fight it cost me
some dark shade, every night it haunted
I will fade, every fight will cost me
I've known pain, every time I fight
