House on Sand
2024 song by Nothing More
"House on Sand" is a song by American rock band Nothing More featuring Eric Vanlerberghe, lead vocalist of American rock band I Prevail. It is the second single and second track from Nothing More's seventh album, Carnal. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in May 2025.
Background and release
The song was released as a single on April 12, 2024. The track features guest vocals from I Prevail vocalist Eric Vanlerberghe, who became involved after the bands developed a friendship during a European festival tour. Vanlerberghe was approached after the band toured with Disturbed and I Prevail in Switzerland, following a chance to socialize with him in the green room. According to Vanlerberghe, Nothing More sent him a demo nearly a year before the single's release, and he found that the song resonated strongly with him. A music video for the song premiered online on April 15, 2024.
Composition and lyrics
Bassist Daniel Oliver said the song originally felt unbalanced due to a melodic chorus paired with heavy riffs, but the contrast was addressed by making the surrounding instrumentation heavier.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “House on Sand” as 2024 song by Nothing More. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2024 song by Nothing More. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q138024092. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025 and 2024.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
