It's Not How Far You Fall, It's the Way You Land is the second studio album by English production team Soulsavers, released on 2 April 2007 in the UK and 16 October 2007 in the US. The album features American singer Mark Lanegan as primary vocalist. Lanegan is also credited as a co-writer for five of the album's songs.
The album also features guests Jimi Goodwin of Doves, Will Oldham (a.k.a. Bonnie "Prince" Billy), P.W. Long and Richard Warren. The album spawned two singles: "Revival" and "Kingdoms of Rain." "Kingdoms of Rain" was initially released on Lanegan's second solo album, Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, in 1994. The album also features cover versions of Neil Young's "Through My Sails," Josh Haden's "Spiritual," and The Rolling Stones' "No Expectations." An instrumental titled "End Title Theme" is also included as a hidden track after "No Expectations" ends.
