Released: February 13, 2011
Format: CD Single, Digital Download
Recorded: Viewpoint Studios, Elizabethtown, Indiana
Genre: Alternative Rock
Length: 3:12
Label: Cosmic Records!
Writer: Brandon Caulfield
Producer: JR Rhythm, Brandon Caulfield

Song Description
The song opens with 3 loud drum beats, then quickly followed by a soft whisper from Brandon, “Your Everything Until Your Nothing.” then quickly accompanied by bass and guitar and before you know it, the song is in full swing.
You can feel the emotion in Caulfield’s voice when he’s singing and you can picture him in anguish with his hands running through his hair, and then at a break in the sound at around the 1:13 mark, everything goes silent briefly before, a piano intro provided by Sarah Jade Harrison, she also provides a windy-operatic type backing vocal, repeating the line whispered at the start of the song, “Your Everything Until Your Nothing.”
Caulfield sings with raw emotion but with a gritty backdrop and a hint of anger in his voice, it’s an extremely different vocal from what we’re used to hearing in music, it has the snarl and anger of Bruce Springsteen in Born In The USA, with the vulnerability of Paul Westerberg in Here Comes A Regular mix in with the emotion of Damien Rice on Cannonball. It’s something to behold.

The song is about loneliness and frustration a theme that we’re all too familiar with and a theme that regularly creeps up throughout his album. Questions are posed in songs all the time and the obvious question in this song appears to be why do we have to grow old and lose the things we loved about our youth, as Brandon puts it himself, “How come the older you get the more detached from the naivety you had when you were growing up, How do you keep that spark?”
The first single from the album is certainly worth a listen!

Music Video
The video that accompanies the song, follows a young man around the age of 27 on a journey. He starts of sitting on his bed writing something on a notepad, he then looks around his room and sees his Laptop, TV, Mobile Phone and Ipod, he looks down at the floor and then searches through a box to find a photo of him with kissing a young girl, they’re both around 16 in the photo. He then puts the photo in his pocket and heads downstairs and out of the front door.
It’s raining and it’s dark, he sits at a bench and looks at the photo once more, he then stands from the bench and starts walking as the weather starts to get worse, he continues walking, no people in sight and he heads into a wooded area, surrounded by trees and nature and he continues walking and walking through the woods for the majority of the song.
As the song draws to a close the man is finally at the end of the wooded area and is met by a blinding light and the image of the girl in the photo, she smiles and waves at him and as he goes to move closer to her, she disappears.
The video then switches to the guy sitting on a bench in a cemetery, looking at a gravestone with the name of the girl written on it, he looks down at the photo and a tear drops onto it, he then stands up and places the photo on the floor next to the gravestone, surrounded by dead flowers.

"When asked 'how do you write?' I invariably answer, 'one word at a time', and this answer is invariably dismissed. But that's all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time. But I've read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope."
