To "wake up in" a state that inherently lacks awareness (dreamless sleep) implies simultaneously being conscious (waking) and unconscious (dreamless sleep). This is a contradiction in literal terms, as one cannot logically be both aware (waking) and unaware (in dreamless sleep) at the same time.


Do you dream of waking up
While you’re drowning in the flood?
The walls of jericho
A world that’s good enough?
Do you dream of waking up?
Corruption eats the young
The rose of jericho
Words crumbling to dust…….
Do you dream of waking up?
In the time of paradox??
Are they lost?
Do they know, do they know??
Do you dream of waking up?

2. The Walls of Jericho: Barriers to Progress

The Walls of Jericho, steeped in biblical symbolism, represent both systemic and self-imposed barriers that obstruct progress. These walls evoke the oppressive forces of war, political divides, and environmental degradation that persist despite our technological and cultural advancements.
In juxtaposition with "a world that’s good enough," they highlight the tension between complacency and striving for a better world. The walls symbolise the structures—economic, political, or ideological—that perpetuate inequality, exploitation, and inertia in the face of existential threats like climate collapse and global conflict.

3. The Rose of Jericho: Hope Amidst Adversity

The Rose of Jericho, a symbol of resilience and renewal, offers a fragile counterpoint to the oppressive walls. In a world grappling with ecological devastation, this imagery evokes the earth’s capacity for regeneration, even as human actions push its limits. Yet, "words crumbling to dust" warns of the fragility of hope when it remains unspoken or unacted upon.
The rose also speaks to the persistence of human connection and empathy, even in a time of widespread isolation. As loneliness and alienation grow in the modern world, the rose’s survival becomes a metaphor for the enduring strength of community and compassion, even when buried beneath layers of despair.

A Falling Robin are UK group split between Wigan and Newcastle, via Belfast and Leeds, who write and record their own music. The nucleus of the band are the two main songwriters and singers, Rachel Darling and Robin d Bailey. A-chance meeting on Soundcloud after Robin heard Rachels original songs, and vice versa, resulted in a mutual respect and appreciation for each others sound and songwriting. A partnership that has now evolved into quite a unique sound with some very emotionally laden songs produced. We have been played on BBC Lancs, BBC Merseyside and BBC6 music. We suspect Kate Bush and Bob Dylan listen to us, however we know they would never say...
“A Falling Robin hits that sweet spot, that is so rare, between classical song writing, assured playing and a yearning emotional beautiful vocal delivery”   Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.
