FALLING

music © Matt Bradshaw 1997-2001
lyrics © Matt Bradshaw 07-09-02

Sometimes;
I get a little bit lost and
Lonely, and kind of down
Sometimes;
I think of you only
And whether you'll come around

It's an;
Unusual situation
A no fun merry-go-round
Roll up;
This strange freak of nature
Five weeks and no sound

But, by heart and my mind are made up

Falling, I'm falling for sure
Everytime I think of you I fall a little more
Aching, I'm shaken to the core
Everytime I think of you I break a little more

It feels;
Like the plot from a B-grade
One slip, and no return
The thing;
You'll learn from this screenplay
Love's fire always burns.

"What could I have done to change the way you feel?
How could I have done things differently?
What would it take to prove that I'm the better deal?
And does it really matter anyway?"

But, how do you fight with feelings?

Falling, I'm falling for sure
Everytime I think of you I fall a little more
Aching, I'm shaken to the core
Everytime I think of you I break a little more

Watching
Waiting
Anticipating
Turning
Leaving
Now begins grieving

solo

Falling, I'm falling for sure
Everytime I think of you I fall a little more
Aching, I'm shaken to the core
Everytime I think of you I break a little more
Falling, I'm falling for sure
Everytime I think of you I fall a little more

About 'Falling' - '97 - 07/09/02 MattyB

I mostly wrote the music for this song back in '97 when I was on tour in China… part of my "rider" for my o/s work was that I had to have my own bedroom, with a keyboard. Because I was the main singer in the bands I took away, playing six nights a week, I couldn't really go out partying after gigs for fear I'd screw up my voice. Instead I used to go home after the gigs and work on my song writing.
The music for this song, including all the orchestral stuff, backing vocal "ahhs" and all was entirely completed with no thought of how lyrics were going to fit with it… consequently none were written for YEARS!

Then I met a girl, and the rest as they say, is history… and how!
I developed a huge crush on somebody, and to cut a long story short, when I turned up at the airport to surprise her she didn't show. I drove from there to the beach at Pt Ormond and wrote the words to this song of an ill-fated (isn't it always?) romance.
