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
Memories and Comeback Kid were my first introduction to this band. From then on - I've always gone to the Midnight for easy listening. Waiting for a bus - Standing in line - Going grocery shopping and pretty much everywhere and anywhere. You can listen to this track over and over again and I feel like it doesn't get old. solstra
I bought the 12 inch single for Bela Lugosi’s Dead at Fred’s records in St. John’s, Newfoundland in the eighties and it remained a treasured item in my collection until it was lost, left behind, stolen, loaned out, whatever. I accepted that that item was lost to time and likely irreplaceable. Hence my utter shock to see that I will once again hear this evocative masterwork on vinyl along with an extra three tracks. I recall Boys was included on the B-side of that long list single. Thank you! skritti
