about

“Tension” is the second single from the upcoming 15-song, self-titled LP from Detroit scene veterans TOUCH THE CLOUDS, produced by Joe Philips, Erik Maluchnik, Adam Cox and mastered at Third Man Mastering by His Name is Alive paragon, Warren Defever.

“Tension” explores the moments when we find ourselves caught up in the relentless tug of war between hustle culture and the self-care movement. The constant push and pull of everyday, modern life often leaves us yearning for solace, regardless of outcome, like the reset snap of an earthquake restores balance to the fault line.

lyrics

right when everything's tight for a minute
that's when everything falls apart
that's when everyone finds out 
what they're made of
 
i need to know
where we go
to cut the tension
 
12:34 or 11:11
back again with nothing to say
now and then you should seek out
the answers 
 
i need to know
where we go
to cut the tension
 
i surrender
cause you'll make it better
 
just cut the tension and release me
