Holding Absence - Perish (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Directed by Zak Pinchin

#holdingabsence #sharptonerecords #perish

It was your palms and your feet, and every single thing between.
We were an easy thing to do - I enthused over you.
But melancholia… Insomnia… Saudade – They had me.
It’s hard to forget I’m looking back on a time, when every beat in your heart was beating for mine.

You had the world at your feet and you kicked it back at me.
I had a hole in my heart, and you didn’t have the decency to wait and see.
Between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Between the angels and infinity.
There is a hideaway, a place to be for me.
And when I’m better you can set me free.

It’s safe to say that you were mine – A songbird to a morning sunrise.
How I miss my spotless mind, I lost it to the twilight.
Much like our love, a songbird always flies without regret,
And even after everything, we perished when the sun set.

You had the world at your feet and you kicked it back at me.
I had a hole in my heart, and you didn’t have the decency to wait and see.
Between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Between the angels and infinity.
There is a hideaway, a place for me.
And only when I’m better you can set me free.

Every blind spot, and every nicety, I learned about your heart… I watched them perish before me.

[Nmiiiii]

How this band is so underrated is beyond me. Lucas sings with so much soul and emotion in each and every word he lets out that its unreal... really wish this band would be brought to brighter light

[jacksvocals]

Impressed with how the band kept material flowing seamlessly, even after multiple changes of guitarist. Instrumentation here is powerful and they tend to stay away from the overused chord progressions. Lucas' voice is a wonderful focal point, and he's probably the most consistent live in the genre

[THESLOWDEATHHOOKS]

easily the best band i discovered in 2018, and this year will be excellent for them!

[Exuvium]

5 years later, and this album is still a no-skip for me. Truly a masterpiece. Seen them live twice and they never disappoint. We love you, Holding Absence!

[ManTheRampartsBaby]

Best album of 2019. I’m calling it now. Holding absence is my new dad. I’m calling my dad to tell him he’s fired.

[kadesims]

Vocalist sends chills so many times.. beautiful passionate voice

[seanlraynor]

Lucas's vocals are so haunting and beautiful. This band can do no wrong.

[chloejanelle]

I’d like to thank someone special for sending me to these guys I can’t believe I’m only discovering them now but it’s because of you that I’m here ❤ thanks L x

[gigakuma]

This band is easily one of my favorites.

[carolld]

I can't stop listening to this song. It's so good!

[borysokorokov]

«You had the world at your feet and you kicked it back at me» — this line really hurts.

[rittis]

I see, Like a Shadow sounds little bit difference from older song which probably cause of changing members. For this one honestly If you guys read this, please bring back more of your older element like this song did. It's what got me into the band in the first place.

A beautiful hollow church-like ambient sound thats drown deep in the mix somehow you coudn't even tell which piece are being played but all this feels so emotional and freshy never get bored

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE UPCOMING ALBUM!

[miacavanagh]

seen these guys 2x before, once at Slamdunk festival in the south and they where utterly incredible. second time was when they where supporting acts for As It Is during the great depression tour at there final venue in London and again they where amazing> He went to stand outside during the trashboat set and my friends dad went for a smoke and had a conversation with him and he was the sweetest guy ever apparently. I hope I get to see these guys live again because they are awesome <3

[JuanCruzFabi]

Vocalist sings with so much heart that he just became into an organ donor

[juanjosesantacruz]

OMG, I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT VOICE,

[nameless]

Never heard of this band before & i had to listen to it about 3 times before really getting it. Kinda reminds me of Deftones, not necessarily musically or lyrically, but just the way a lot of Deftones songs have moments that seem like the singer is singing a completely different tune/song than what the music is playing, but then it all coalesces & connects the moment the chorus begins. It's like 2 moons orbiting the same planet at different speeds, but paced in a way that they'll always fall into line & create an eclipse when they're over the exact same place in the world.

[dylanparrott]

Dem cleans...oh man that and the intersmentals is why this song is pure goodness

[vish_pr]

Lucas back with his angel voice!!! Can't wait for the album!!!

[mikeb.]

Looking forward to the long awaited full length gentlemen! Stoked for y'all
