The Head And The Heart is clearly in a very incredible musical space as they continue to unveil this latest chapter of music off their upcoming fifth album Every Shade of Blue.

Today, the band shared a new song called "Virginia (Wind in the Night)," the second preview of the album after the impressive title track which they shared last month. It's a gut-wrenching offering, and certainly an emotional one, another stellar example of what to expect from the full record, which is out April 29 via Reprise/Warner Records.

”Being from Virginia, for me this song represents a long and winding relationship to place—a place that is grounding," says the band's Jonathan Russell. "I’m often drawing on my life through symbolism as a way into someone else’s psyche. It’s part of my search for a deeper connection without having to compare our experiences directly."

He continues: "There is a reason this song has two titles. One is literal and one is symbolic. Not everyone is from Virginia, I know that. But I bet you have walked home and heard the wind in the night.”

This song is beautiful. Hear it now.
