Song of the Day: Drown the Sky (ft. RØRY) – William Black

By 20-somethinglife | November 2, 2019

William Black isn’t a well-known DJ/producer (yet), but his emotional, heartfelt style, similar to Illenium and Dabin, is becoming more and more popular. Originally out of Orange County, California, he’ll be with Illenium on tour through the end of 2019.

“Drown the Sky” speaks to the struggles of addiction, as this is something that both he and vocalist RØRY have had to deal with in the past. He explains, “Right before I got sober, I had this moment where I finally realized that I couldn’t go on with all the pain I was causing to myself, and more importantly, those who cared for me. In that moment I finally wanted to change. RØRY had recently gotten sober and we connected having been through such a similar experience despite our different backgrounds. The hope is that ‘Drown The Sky’ helps others to know they’re not alone and that there is a way forward.”

“Drown the Sky” lyrics:

Breathe it in, breathe it out
The weight of it all puts me on the ground
Nothing but darkness all around
Empty bottles of bitter pills
Gimme the poison, we’re going down
Me barely breathing, the only sound

Ooh, will you hold my hand as I’m falling?
Ooh, I can hear the darkness calling

Tonight we’re gonna drown the sky
Raise your glasses one last time
When we’re down from this high
You won’t find me by your side
Tonight we’re gonna drown the sky
Drown it in the blood-red wine
When we’re down from this high
You won’t find me by your side
So let’s drown the sky tonight

So let’s drown the sky tonight

Now I’m blind, I cannot see
With or without you I’ve gotta leave
Find my way back so I can be complete

Ooh, will you hold my hand as I’m falling?
Ooh, I can hear the darkness calling

So let’s drown the sky tonight
So let’s drown the sky tonight
So let’s drown the sky tonight
