For the quick read: Don’t miss out on a cool breakdown at 3:55 & we recommend headphones for the maximum dreamy experience.

This song, "Falling" explores the emotion/experience being scared of falling in love. We give this experience to the listener by creating an atmospheric environment with heavy emphasis on the vocal harmonies, synth presence, and heavy groove from bass/drums. The song is filled with airy vocals, lush synth, psychedelic guitar lines, strong bass/drums groove, and ethereal harmonies. This is the first song we wrote and recorded together, but definitely not the last! It was mixed by Grammy Award winning engineer Nolan Thies and mastered by the esteemed Mike Fridmann.

Retrograde88 was formed in Boston in October 2021 and has been performing locally at small venues, gathering a loyal following. Each band member participated in the writing and arranging process for this song, making it a true collaboration. This is our first release, and we've got more stuff in the works!

Lyrics:
I was holding back from feeling
Pulled down under stopped from breathing 
You inhabited my complex mind 
We are from different dimensions 
Savage waters risk the friction 
You’re a black hole that gulped me alive 

And I’m falling through 
Catch me soon 
Don’t let me know you 
I will swoon

Whatcha gonna do 
You’re falling in love 
Whatcha gonna do 
You’re falling in love 
Whatcha gonna do 
You’re falling in love 

Pomegranate seeds 
In the ground
Waiting for the tree to sprout 
You planted a seed inside) my heart
Running from the plaguing romance  
I was captured 
Stranded in thoughts 
I won’t surrender my life for love

And I’m falling through 
Catch me soon 
Don’t let me know you 
I will swoon 

Whatcha gonna do 
You’re falling in love 
Whatcha gonna do 
You’re falling in love 
Whatcha gonna do 
You’re falling in love 

Maybe the stars have aligned for us 
Showing us what’s in store
Maybe it’s not so bad to feel this way for another soul
And I’m done searching for a way to leave 
I have accepted 
That I have fallen for you

Falling
