songs: Falling for You
Written sometime in 2004, this song was recorded in Los Angeles with Stacy Jones as a "test track". I had met with a lawyer in New York who suggested I try working with the Hi-Fi front man, and I agreed to fly out and see how we got along. The session was a lot of fun for me, as it was my first time working with a producer. It was also my first time ever having something professionally mixed. We went on to record 12 other tracks for what would become "The Album".

She calls him early 'cause
She knows he'll be asleep
She leaves a message after the beep.
She says she's better, now
But she's still incomplete
She's trying hard to make her voice sound soft and sweet.
A couple hours pass till
He picks up the phone
He wasn't ready for the shock
He holds his breath down
He plays the message twice
And then the dial tone
Reminds him that she's not around
It's a lonely sound...
He has got perspective
And she's got nothing left
So, he wonders why he can't go on...
He's singing,
Would she, could she've been
Thinking of me all along?
And if I asked her
Would she tell me the truth?
'Cause it's a long way down
When your hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm falling for you.
She's like an hourglass
That never got the sand
She's hollow and transparent
Like an infant.
He is a lonely boy
But he still loves his life
He doesn't look to make a scene
He looks to make right...
He has got perspective
And she's got nothing left
So, he wonders why he can't go on...
He's singing,
Would she, could she've been
Thinking of me all along?
And if I asked her
Would she tell me the truth?
'Cause it's a long way down
When your hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm falling for you.
I'm holding out
I'm strong and I'm proud
And there's a new heart
I've got banking on me
It's time you face yourself
Take a look at this girl
And you'll see what I see...
