Behind the Songs: ECLIPSE: Falling Down

This new batch of songs that make up Eclipse were written more in the spirit of collaboration as a band than were the songs that made up our debut album. We’re proud of that and proud of this batch of songs. And we hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we like to play them.

Falling Down (Johnson, Carhart, Driml)

Well, I know that you love me but I don't know why
All this time, been afraid of what lies behind the lie
So I stopped to pick up what I've found
Man, it's so easy to see. So easy to be free
When you're around.

So I surrender without a sound
Trust in love. Love is as easy as falling down
Yeah I surrender without a sound
Trust in love. Love is as easy as falling down

All my life I tried and I tried to be good enough
But I can't live at all when I make it so rough
So I wandered aimlessly
Man, I was out of a prayer, I was at the end
When you found me

Then I surrender without a sound
Trust in love. Love is as easy as falling down
Yeah I surrender without a sound
Trust in love. Love is as easy as falling down

Break down

I saw you again, my friend, just the other day
I was riddled with guilt. Man, I was full of shame. Didn't know what to say.
But you reached out your hand and you touched my heart
Said, "Welcome home, you'll never be alone and that's the best part."

Then I surrender without a sound
Trust in love. Love is as easy as falling down
Yeah I surrender without a sound
Trust in love. Love is as easy as falling down

Break down. Turn around.

Notes:
Another one of Scotty’s, we originally played this one with a totally different rhythm, drums and bass. The dichotomy between that other rhythm and Scotty’s guitar never fully gelled, so we went with more of a straightforward, driving rhythm. Scotty says this song is about love being easy if we just let it happen… It’s as easy as falling down. The lyrics seem to resonate with audiences when we play it live. We all love playing the “break down” sections live and Biff really brings it in those sections.
