The song serves as the title track of their forthcoming new album 'Everything About You', set to be released in September.
Another irresistible blend of hard rock and pop with the same mixture of fantastically catchy chorus's, clever lyrics and astonishing production, that are the signature of The Petal Falls music.

Previously a member of Daisy & The White Jacket, Port Royal and occasionally playing live with McDermott & North, Shepherd is confidently taking flight with Sam Syrah. Whilst a solo project, it is also a celebration of friendship, with Shepherd’s closest friends from bands including Juno and Port Royal taking up their instruments. This is the evolution of a musician who is hitting his stride with an exploration of a more personal approach to storytelling, and a sound that won’t back down.
The song is taken from his forthcoming EP ‘Some Things Stay The Same’ (due out later this year). Get it here.
From the get-go, ‘Philosophy’ whisks you up in its unapologetically sensual sound, showing off some blistering guitar work and lyrics that dance between pining and complete surrender – but it’s Shepherd’s arresting voice that takes centre stage. The line, ‘Such a thing is hard to find’ leads into an effortlessly tantalising guitar solo that reaches fever pitch, and the surprise of a second encore for the song’s epic finale is everything the story deserves.
A tale of seduction, underpinned by the sweet sentiment of looking back on the past with fondness, Shepherd explains: "This song is a nod to a past relationship. Acknowledging that yes, a lot went on, however, then was then and now is of course now - no hard feelings, only love and appreciation remains."
Take a listen below.
