Story Behind The Song

This is a song I wrote for my wife, telling her how important she is to me and how she has helped me through my life plans! It starts by outlining what a daydreamer I am and how I she has always managed to support through all the failures. She was also going through a tough time and this song was my way of letting her know I supported her, no matter what!!

Song Description

Acoustic and electric guitars blend with lush vocals, which gives the song a lovely feel, which was exactly what I was looking for. Wen I do a stripped down version (me and an acoustic guitar) somehow the feeling behind the song achieves an added poignancy.

Lyrics

Falling Through by Jim Burridge

Its 5am and the suns still rising,
I'm sitting at work earning my way,
I'm wondering where my dreams have disappeared too,
But for me its just another working day,
Falling through

I used to think a lot about my music,
And how it would be if my songs became well known,
But its too late now for me to reach that star,
I'ts just another chance that I've blown,
By falling through
Falling through my dreams
Falling through
Falling through my schemes

You've learned to live with all my shortcomings,
With the many dreams and plans that seem to fail,
But without you by my side I wouldn't be here today,
I wish I could help you but I fail,
To stop you falling through,

Your everything to me and I dont tell you quite enough,
About the way you make me feel when you smile,
Youv'e always helped me through all the problems on the way,
But I just cant find the words to say,

Except I love you and I always will,
And if there's one thing I can give you that I think you need,
Its the confidence to fight another day,
And I will hold you tight forever and I hope this way,
I'll stop you falling through

I'm with you all the way
