NASHVILLE, TN. – Hold on to your heart when you listen to this one! Rising country artist, Caitlin Quisenberry, attests that breakups are complicated, and “The Drill” perfectly personifies this. It sits at the moment of realization when you’ve heard those heartbreaking words before, “… I know the drill, I know what comes next, here comes the late nights, the cheap wine, and Kleenex. We won’t work out later, we won’t stay friends, even if you promise we will, ‘cuz I know the drill…” The lyrics quickly throw you into the storyline, which is met with Caitlin’s authentically emotional vocals, cradled by the gripping musical arrangement of GRAMMY-nominated producer, Sal Oliveri (#1 with P!nk and Chris Stapleton). Listen to “The Drill” HERE.
“We’ve all had our share of breakups,” professes Caitlin. “We can sense when it’s coming but want to ignore the signs until it’s upon us and we are hearing those all too familiar words. The words are meant for our benefit, to let us down easily, and help lessen the guilt of the one breaking up. But there is no easy way; even the kindest words still cut like a knife. You know… ‘it’s not you, it’s me,’ ‘I’ll always love you and it’s only a break,’ ‘it might work out later, we’ll still be friends.’ What I love about this song is as heartbreaking as it is, it’s also empowering, because I’m saying, ‘save your breath, your words are like a broken record; I’ll say it for you, ‘cuz I know the drill.’ This song is so relatable; no matter which side of a breakup you’ve been on, you feel the pain – and “The Drill” lets you know you aren’t alone in your heartache.”
