The song is the second single from the album Flying Dream 1.
It was written remotely in the band members' home studios during Covid lockdown. Then they convened in person and perfected the song in the empty Brighton Theatre Royal.
The musical revelation came when the band heard the backing singers...
[Verse 1]
I'm falling in love with you
I'm falling in love with you
Six words released like birds
Into the brightening ether
And, oh, to read those words returned
I'm fuzzy, I've stumbled onto
Some heavenly escalator
[Verse 2]
And, oh, to read those words returned
The sky's gonna open up and I'll be flooded out to open water
Six lanes of homeward hearts
Glint into the evening sun
Weary kids in bottle green
Same gait as the ancient scholars
Only falling gives you wings likе these
Last wink of the sinking sun mеans
I get to see you later
[Chorus]
You bring my hand to my heart
You fling all my plans to the wind
You wrote me a better part
Just in time to wind the clocks to the start
I'm part of everything again
Look who loves me
Look who loves me, I know
I know the view from up on top of the world
Now I know your songbird soul
You bring my hands to my heart
You fling all my plans to the wind
You wrote me a better part
Just in time to wind the clocks to the start
I'm part of everything again
Look who loves me
Look who loves me, I know
I know the view from up on top of the world
Now I know your songbird soul
You bring my hands to my heart
You fling all my plans to the wind
You wrote me a better part
Just in time to wind the clocks to the start
I'm part of everything again
Look who loves me
Look who loves me, I know
I know the view from up on top of the world
Now I know your songbird soul
