Songwriters are tethered to their art. It can be hard to realize it in the moment, but art, whatever it might be, is born out of our subconscious often trying to tell us something. That was certainly the case for indie-folk duo The Sea The Sea. Treading water in unimaginable, unsafe depths, waters surging and thrashing their forms, a song called “Fall Before the Climb” plopped as a life preserver in the knick of time. “But you start running like you mean it,” the turn the corner unexpectedly, refocusing their gaze on the light shining ahead. The ruin that once nearly choked them is only a blip in their rearview, and they quickly pick up speed to a hearty gallop. “Oh, honey, I’ve been waiting so patiently,” they don’t skimp on their emotional aggravation. But it’s transitory. The sun hits their face as they break the surface, and all their toils seem so far away.
