Fall from Grace

Hello all - this is a song I wrote and recorded in 2001.   Thought I’d post it while I’m finishing up a current song I’m working on.

Fall from Grace

Go on and tell me…….I’ve been so senseless

But I can’t seem to get you out of my mind...........


Such sweet fruit in a garden of thorns

How to resist I’ll never learn

My heart is pounding inside of my head

Feelings that I have for you don’t make any sense


I try to forget you - I try in vain

This obsession that I have has got me in chains

I remain burning in the afterglow

This temptation that I have won’t let me go


With one look you became my fall from grace


Just like Lorelei and the ship at sea

Pull me in closer and what do I see?

Devastation straight ahead, I crash to the shore

Like a stupid fool I come back for more


A moment of pleasure has turned to pain

Something you did I won’t be the same

Never knew this sweet love could feel so bad

Seems to have taken everything that I have


With one look you became my fall from grace


I try to forget you -- I try in vain

This obsession that I have has got me in chains

I remain burning in the afterglow

This temptation that I have won’t let me go


With one look you became my fall from grace

  • "With one look you became my fall from grace" that's a cool line, and I like the way you sing it.

    There's a couple of lines that feel a little crowded to me like:

    "This obsession that I have has got me in chains" you could drop the "that I have", but that's a stylistic choice, they both work.

    But overall it's a cool song.

    I love the punk vibe. The tag line adds the right amount of space when I needed. This is really cool.

    When I was listening I hoped you would throw some shredding guitar in there....

    Yeah, I felt refreshed by that. I feel like music is sometimes so predictable form wise and that one kept me guessing somewhat.

    Cool project. Cheers!

    Hey guys...thanks for listening! I appreciate the comments 😊 @robcrozier - Yeah, got some shredding in there. That's my ex-bandmate from years ago.

  • Wow! This takes me back to another time in a very positive way. I can imagine this going down a storm live. If you don't mind me saying, the instruments are a bit muddy in places..just a balance thing I reckon, and I'd definitely like to hear the kit a bit more upfront. but, hey, I'm just nit picking so don't take too much notice! I love the vibe. Quite an adventurous arrangement. I enjoyed it.😀

    @ChrisPrice --glad you enjoyed it! As far as the mix, it's set in stone at this point....it was done by my ex-bandmate who recorded and mixed the tracks years ago.....I appreciate the feedback though, it's always welcome. 😀
