Hawthorne Heights are bringing back the mid- 2000s emo with their latest single “The Rain Just Follows Me”, the title track from their upcoming album. Quite different than their previous single featuring a guest spot from Counterparts frontman Brendan, this track brings back the nostalgia in full, almost guaranteeing that it will end up a fan favorite track for some time. Listen to the track below and tell us what year in the 2000s this puts you in.
“I really wanted to name this album after those lyrics,” shares singer JT Woodruff on “The Rain Just Follows Me.” “It perfectly described what I’ve been going through. During the day, everything seems totally fine, but when I lay down and turn out the lights, my world comes crashing down. If this happens on tour or at home, I usually just think of the coast. I think of the way I feel, watching pelicans on the pier. And usually everything will stabilize, but for some reason nothing was working. When you’re gone for months out of the year, it starts to feel normal. Your entire family and circle of friends have to rearrange their lives to stay connected to yours. And as much as this seems like a woe is me, touring band sob story, it really isn’t about that at all. It’s about how our society has taught us to work ourselves to exhaustion, and at the end of day, our prize is an early grave.”
