Falling Again

[Nelson]

Here's an old one I'm digging back into.
Adding somethings taking away somethings.
First impressions... suggestions... I'm all ears.

Falling Again
My friends heard the news and without a bit of surprise
suggested it a blessing in disguise
And I pretended not to care while putting on airs
when you said goodbye
Though trying to convince me I find it hard to perceive
just how much fun indeed this could possibly be
They said why take sand to the beach, brother
there's plenty more fish in the sea

Its a tug of war between the joy and the pain   
Now I'm back to this ole rabbit hole and falling again

When I look to the sky at the clouds are passing by I
see your face
When every single thing I do, reminds me of you then I know
I'm falling
And when the winds blow just right on a quiet summer night I
hear you call my name
And the story never fails like a children's fairy tale
Like Alice down the rabbit hole I'm Falling Again... Falling Again

I said Please don't try and change me I like to
come and go as I please
Memories of you and I together now
knocks me to my knees
Like sand through my fingers or the
forest for the trees
You were the love of my life but I was
too blind to see
   
Well I made up my mind but too late to escape the pain
Now I'm back to this ole rabbit hole and falling again.     

When I look to the sky at the clouds are passing by I
see your face
When every single thing I do, reminds me of you then I know
I'm falling
And when the winds blow just right on a quiet summer night I
hear you call my name
And the story never fails like a children's fairy tale
Like Alice down the rabbit hole I'm Falling Again... Falling Again

Not a valid attachment ID.

You've been always a great songwriter to me. This song is a very example of excellent songwriting;

Great lyrics, fine job on piano and some nice sax additions...works fine! Your soft voice is icing on the cake.

Nice to hear from you, Nelson.

Hi Nelson, I love the lyrics.
And the instrumentation is so good, grabs me right away.
And your vocals is great.  Very nice song.  I love it!!!

So great to hear another song from you, Nelson. Your vocals are superb (as always), and it's really cool that the piano is the main instrument here with the saxophones? adding some really nice supporting melodies.

Well done!

This sounds great,the vocals, lyrics and music. Some nice harmonies. I like the sax parts and piano. Catchy song.

[StephenM]

yeah you are the goods in songwriting and delivery.  You sing incredibly well...there is such an elegance there...a major power but in a subtle way, it isn't boisterous.  Plus you convey the emotion of the song lyric so that is really big.

I gotta go hear some more of your stuff...wonderful...

[Ray Brookes]

Great song with great vocals and excellent lyrics. Nice cool laid back production too and tasteful arranging.

Wow Nelson you've always been a really cool song writer and this no exception a really excellent listen.

[Greeny]

I love hearing your voice on here again. There will a lot of non old-timers who haven't heard you before, but they'll instantly understand why I have always rated you so highly. Magnificent, timeless songwriting and that wonderful, soulful voice. Great arrangement and instrumentation too. Sheer class my friend!
