Stream: “ISABEL” – Never Ending Fall




Never Ending Fall are lighting up the Autumn airwaves with a cinematic, stadium-sized singalong that’s sure to invigorate, inspire, and light a fire within all who listen.

Released October 25th, “ISABEL” is a spellbinding, nostalgia-soaked seduction full of that oh-so-familiar love and longing, heartache and yearning that this season seems to effortlessly and inevitably conjure up in us all. Yet while the ‘stick season’ (as we all now call it) tends to often don a softer blanket, the Los Angeles-based, Maryland-made indie rock band are keeping things hot and dreamy for a few minutes more. “ISABEL” calls to mind greats like Journey and Toto – it’s big, it’s bold, and it’s utterly, unfailingly all-consuming.

ISABEL - Never Ending Fall
ISABEL – Never Ending Fall
She was born real close to the country.
Far from the glitter and money.
A black horse playing the jockey,
Baby, she’s my Isabel.
I promise that I’ll write you a letter,
As soon as I get it together.
For now, I’m just one with the weather.
Baby, she’s my Isabel.
Ain’t that something?
Ain’t that something?
I met her at a bar in New England.
Told me she was born for singing.
Cigarettes only when drinking.
Love as far as I can tell.
I swear one day that she’ll need me.
Burned her favorite songs on a CD.
Nothing good ever comes easy.
Baby, she’s my Isabel.

“‘ISABEL’ is the story of a small-town girl trying to find herself told through the lens of the boy she never truly loved,” Never Ending Fall – comprised of Jack Miller, Tommy St.Clair, Conrad Boyd, Johnny Hohman, and Pearce Eisenhardt – tell Atwood Magazine.

“We wanted to take on a familiar, but modern sound while reflecting about coming-up-short and heartbroken. The lyrics depict a heartbreak we are all too familiar with, and the music provides a sense of comfort and acceptance through a driving rhythm. Combining old with new, with a Springsteen-inspired sound, this song transcends generations.”

We wanted to take on a familiar, but modern sound while reflecting about coming-up-short and heartbroken.

She’s moving back west to Texas,
Going wherever her ex is.
Born to be young and reckless.
I know I’m not the only one.
I know she’ll never love me like I do.
Wasting time trying to find you.
I’ll never be someone to run to.

It’s the heat of the moment (literally and figuratively) for the 2020s: A dynamic, radiant, and roaring reverie whose catchy chorus is bested only by a breathtaking guitar solo that demands repeat listens.

While we had already fallen hard and fast for Never Ending Fall thanks to this past August’s debut album American Disco, “ISABEL” seals the deal on the five-piece as one of the most promising indie rock bands of our time.

She’ll keep running, running, running,
Running, running, run.
She’ll keep running, running, running,
Running, running, run.
She’ll keep running, running, running,
Running, running, run.
