Together only six months as a band, Falling Into View were recently announced as a BBC Introducing Hereford & Worcester Featured Artist, and have received radio airplay across multiple stations.
After the successful release and reviews of their first two singles ‘What Is It Like To Lose?’ and ‘On With The Show”, Falling Into View release their third single ‘Things (That I Thought Might One Day Be Useful)’, that as with their previous singles has already received BBC Introducing airplay and is a crowd favourite at their live shows.
Written and composed by prolific songwriter Allan Price, this track came together in just thirty minutes whilst he was packing up boxes and preparing to move house after it had been the family home for many years, although turning it into a breakup song gave it a bit of a twist.
Price said: “We’ve heard it said many times that some of the best songs are conceived and written in a matter of moments and this song was certainly one of those.
“I recently moved house and whilst emptying drawer in an old cabinet I was struck by the amount of stuff it contained and why on earth we thought any of it would ever come in useful! It was later that day when the thought struck me that this experience was a kind of metaphor for the way in which we bank memories. How we use them to look back fondly over the path our journey has taken or conversely, use the more painful ones to remind us not to take that pathway again!
“So, I sat down and wrote this song. In a matter of thirty minutes, I had the main body of the song and the melody. I took it to rehearsal and played it to the rest of the band and was struck by the stunned silence which greeted the final chords! Imagine my relief when they all said they loved it! After talking over with Lyss we decided that it needed another verse to complete the story and so I went home that evening and wrote the last verse.
“We all love this song, and we know how it affects people we play it to as they greet it with the same moment of stunned silence before the applause, it’s that split second that tells you the words you have written have resonated.”
‘Things (That I Thought Might One Day Be Useful)’ was recorded at Magic Garden Studios in the West Midlands and produced by multi-platinum and BMA award winner Gavin Monaghan. ‘Things (That I Thought Might One Day Be Useful)’.
