I Interviewed Dave Simpson for Songs To Learn And Sing on 103.2 Dublin City FM upon publication of his book The Fallen: Searching for the Missing Members of The Fall. We'd a great chat about his quest to track down all the ex-members of The Fall. I regaled Dave with my own MES encounter, which involved operating a slide projector for a Fall gig in 1997.

[Verse 1]
We were golden, burning bright
Two hearts dancing in the light
Built a castle on our dreams
Never saw the cracking seams

We laughed at time, we played with fate
Ignored the signs ‘til it was too late
The sky was calm, the ground was strong
But love can’t hold forever long

[Pre-Chorus]
I held your hand like it would never end
But even forever sometimes has to bend

[Chorus]
Then came the fall, the silence, the scream
The end of a promise, the death of a dream
One moment, one breath, and it all slipped away
Now I'm haunted by words we forgot to say
The fall…
So sudden, so cruel, so final, so small
That’s how it ends—
With the fall

[Verse 2]
Your coffee cup still on the shelf
I can't bring myself to move it myself
The echo of your keys, your laugh, your voice
Now all that's left is a hollowed choice

[Pre-Chorus]
We never thought love could break like glass
But the sharpest edges cut the past

[Chorus]
Then came the fall, the silence, the scream
The end of a promise, the death of a dream
One moment, one breath, and it all slipped away
Now I'm haunted by words we forgot to say
The fall…
So sudden, so cruel, so final, so small
That’s how it ends—
With the fall

[Bridge]
If I could go back, if I had one more day
I’d hold you longer, I’d beg you to stay
But life doesn’t pause for goodbye or regret
It just carves out the things we can’t forget

[Chorus]
Then came the fall, no warning at all
No way to rise, no way to crawl
One second we were, the next we were not
Now I live in the space where you forgot
The fall…
So tragic, so deep, I lost it all
That’s how it ends—
With the fall

[Outro]
And I’m still falling…
Still falling…
Since the fall

THE FALL

My house version of The Fall song, experimenting with bringing alternative music and house music together.

Chorus /

Come, let’s watch the Sun as it's going down

Moonlight on your skin when I'm around

Bruises on my face when you skip town

Echoes of laughter, now I'm lost in sound

Verse 2 /

Sun is falling, stars are calling

Wind keeps blowing, destiny knowing

You're all that I want, you're all that I need

Your heart is mine, you belong to me

All I wanted was your bitterness

Verse 3 /

Remember that summer, we danced in the rain?

You whispered my secrets, eased all my pain

Dreams turned to ashes, bleed out the pain

I buried the laughter, hid all my pain

Chorus /

Come, let’s watch the Sun as it's going down

Moonlight on your skin when I'm around

Bruises on my face when you skip town

Echoes of laughter, now I'm lost in sound

This one was sitting on my SSD for a long time now. I thought I should make it public now. Enjoy the R3tro Remix - DEMO. This is the demo version of The Fall i did 2 years ago. Might sound unpolished and unfinished.
