about

Aloud's Henry Beguiristain and co-writer Jen de la Osa wrote "Empty House" after absorbing the celebrated documentary A Band Called Death. Beguiristain and de la Osa found the Hackney brothers' ability to remain warm and compassionate with each other inspirational, even after decades of hardship. "My own family's going through an incredibly petty, malicious squabble," Beguiristain, the song's vocalist, explains. "So these two sort of antipodal reactions to strains in a family were very much on our minds."

The song pulls no punches, serving as both an admonition ("The passage of time ain't forgiveness") and an olive branch ("I'm throwing you a line/hoping it'll reach you in time").

"Ultimately, 'Empty House' is a song about empathy. It's about keeping your soul from becoming hard."
lyrics

lyrics

Living forever is easy
It just takes a clever mind
sticking to all your convictions
while keeping your own heart kind

But when it comes to perspective,
no one is truly exempt
The passage of time ain't forgiveness.
The status quo ain't contentment

I'm throwing you a line, hoping it'll reach you in time
Don't let our home become another empty house

Is this how it happens?
Feelings put into sharp relief
Nature becomes a fantasy
Opinion becomes belief
