Riff: Phillip Phillips – “Gone Gone Gone”

Jul 15, 2013

When you fall, like a statue/I’m gon’ be there to catch you/…And if your heart is empty/Not a thing will prevent me

from Gone Gone Gone lyrics by Phillip Phillips

Phillips, aka Seacrest & Sons, bites off a little more of his progenitors than he can chew, copping Mumford’s lyrical cadence, rhyme scheme, lovelorn theme, references to stones, musical style and bass-drum pulse. “Gone…” separates itself solely with bland pop dilution.
