Sometimes life pulls the rug out from under your feet and you have this sense of groundlessness, like everything is suspended in free fall. Really, we are all in free fall, all the time, but it is the moments of cataclysmic change that wake you up to the fact that there are no sure things in life. Change is the only constant. "Free Fall" is about embracing that change and hurtling forward into the unknown without regretting the past.
lyrics
free fall
are you really surprised
we came undone? (we came so far)
we set our course
for the setting sun (we came so far)
believed in fate
thought love could save
we were riding
the crest of some wave
oh oh oh no, this is letting go
are you letting me, letting me go?
when I look in your eyes
I can’t blame you
what good would that do?
I can’t save you
and all of your lies
all your half-truths
you can’t know me
I can’t know you
oh oh oh no, this is letting go
are you letting me, letting me go?
I have no doubt
we knew true love
the kind you find out
what you’re made of
are you letting me, letting me go?

Heard "You Never Knew" on Mariah Duran's skate part on Thrasher yesterday. Coincidentally, 2 days ago, I was talking to my brother and he said something along the lines of "I'm sure a song exists out there that would be my favorite ever, but I will never find it because there is too much music." and here I am, listening to this album on repeat since yesterday. Can't wait for the record to arrive. Would love longer versions of pretty much the whole album, I can't get enough. Superb work. Hadi Burpee
