Their new single, “Falling Stone,” explores the loneliness felt in self-discovery.

Bottom Line: “Falling Stone” has a modern rock sound with a flowing song form and solid singing from Fogerty. The band says this about the single, “The single attempts to explore the loneliness felt in self-discovery. Often what we are missing in our lives lurks in the places we are most afraid to mine. It’s completely understandable why we would avoid such self-inflicted scrutiny. Our Human Nature, Our very survival instincts, attempt to protect us from such pain. We all know how much It really hurts when we look deeply and honestly at ourselves, but only at first. Through undergoing the challenges, this kind of analysis brings. We can find hidden strengths. Discover who we really are and what we are made of. It’s this journey that interested me, particularly. I guess it’s the archetypical Hero’s journey. Even though, in the end, perhaps the only person you’re truly able to save is yourself, and hopefully, that helps.” “Falling Stone” has layers of guitars, intensity shifts, and vocals that give the song an exciting flow that develops through the song form. The bass and drums create a feel that is buoyant and driving. The two guitars create fullness and textures, and the layers of backing vocals are all pivotal to the Third Lung sound. The song has an overall shape that develops and has a clear climax. Solid playing, singing and writing throughout “Falling Stone” and that’s the short of it!
