About the song[]
Falling is a mid-tempo ballad with an anthem chorus, featuring Mike Garson (from The Spiders From Mars) on piano, reminiscent of high class moody lounge suite. The track was produced by Erol Alkan.
The original name for this song was "Can't Say That Is Love".
Roger: "A lovely way to close the album and Mike Garson is a true music legend. Some people are seeing this song as a tribute to the late and great David Bowie, I'll take that. We wouldn't be here today releasing this record without his divine inspiration. We are forever indebted to the musicians that David surrounded himself with, and Mike being one of the most incredible. I like the way this song kinda sneaks through the door, creeps up on you and then smothers you all over." (Source)
Lyrics[]
On a white beach under the sun On a wide bed what will become? Half awake and half in a dream About falling into something Oh is this how it all begins? With a quiet explosion within Like a raindrop falling on skin Am I falling into feeling Falling to my senses, you fill up the heart of me If you know the answer, show me who I wanna be I can't say that is love, enough to dedicate Spent a lifetime waiting for this On a beeline to a first kiss For a taste of your honey-dew-bliss I'll be falling into feeling Summer perfume that you wear Your so in-bloom you're filling the air With a whisper that I wanna share Coz I'm falling into something Falling to my senses, you fill up the heart of me If you know the answer, show me who I wanna be I can't say that is love, enough to dedicate? Doo doo doo doo doo Falling to my senses, you fill up the heart of me If you know the answer, show me who I wanna be I can't say that is love, enough to dedicate Can I say this is love, enough to dedicate....? Wah-na-na Doo doo-doo-doo When, you fall.
