For My Sunday Song #419, we have another song from The Defiant’s. This time around it is “Fallin’ For You” from the bands second album, ‘Zokusho’. It was written by Paul Laine and his buddy Bruno Ravel. If you thought the first album was good, then this one will not disappoint. A band that is celebrating that 80’s rock sound and this particular song is all that and more. This one was a single and even had a video. You gotta love that.
Lyrically, the song is about a woman that comes in to his life when he wasn’t looking for love. Heck, she wasn’t either as she just got out of a relationship. They were both wrong place, wrong time, but the heart wants what the heart wants. He has fallin’ for her hard and wants to know what to do. How can they make it work despite everything saying it can’t. A classic love story that has been in every Rom-Com out there.
With a little keyboard opening and then a gritty guitar riff, we get a classic Danger Danger style rocking love song. You get swept up in those big choruses, catchy hooks and that Paul Laine vocal. He was made for these type of songs. The guitar solo is huge, crazy riffs, fast flying fingers. It all screams 80’s and I scream along with it…Hell Yeah!!! A fun song that will get stuck in your head for days.
Give the song a listen and tell me that music doesn’t take you back to the 80’s. 80’s music was the best as it was the most fun and I am thrilled The Defiants are celebrating that sound. It makes you feel so good. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this week’s song. Have a wonderful and Happy Sunday!!
“Fallin’ For You”
I wasn’t looking for somebody to love me
I wasn’t waiting for a second chance
You know I’ve never really been that lucky
I’d given up trying to understand
You were getting over some old heartbreak
You never counted on me walking through your door, yeah
I didn’t know I was waiting for you
It’s out of my hands and there’s nothing I can do
Girl, I can’t help it (I can’t help it)
There’s something in the air tonight
I just wanna tell you (wanna tell you)
That my heart’s got nothing to hide
I can’t hold back even if I tried
Tell me what I gotta do
‘Cause girl, you got me
Fallin’ for you (fallin’ for you)
What’s a boy to do? (Fallin’ for you)
You got me fallin’, fallin’ for you, oh
I was runnin’ in the wrong direction
I was headed down a dead end road
In the mirror was my own reflection
Telling me you’re better off alone
All I knew is there was someone for me
Someone out there with a heart that beat like mine, oh
You were the one I was dreaming about
I’m head over heels and there ain’t no doubt
Girl, I can’t help it (I can’t help it)
There’s something in the air tonight
I just wanna tell you (wanna tell you)
That my heart’s got nothing to hide
I can’t hold back even if I tried
Tell me what I gotta do
‘Cause girl, you got me
Fallin’ for you (fallin’ for you)
And there ain’t no use (fallin’ for you)
You got me fallin’, fallin’ for you
‘Cause that’s the thing about love when you find it
Try to hold on and never let go
It’s the chance that you take
Between love and fate
And only your heart will know
I didn’t know I was waiting for you
It’s out of my hands and there’s nothing I can do
You were the one I was dreaming about
I’m head over heels and there ain’t no doubt
Girl, I can’t help it (I can’t help it)
There’s something in the air tonight
I just wanna tell you (wanna tell you)
That I’m ready to give you this heart of mine
I can’t hold back even if I tried
Tell me what I gotta do
‘Cause girl, you got me
Fallin’ for you (fallin’ for you)
Girl, I’m stuck on you (fallin’ for you)
(Fallin’ for you) and there ain’t no use
what’s a boy to do?
(Fallin’ for you, fallin’ for you) oh girl, you got me fallin’
(Fallin’ for you) hey (fallin’ for you) oh, oh, I’m fallin’
(Fallin’ for you, fallin’ for you) fallin’ for you
(Fallin’ for you) fallin’ for you (fallin’ for you) fallin’ for you
(Fallin’ for you) yeah, you know I can’t help it (fallin’ for you)
Oh, I wanna tell you (fallin’ for you)
There’s something in the air tonight (fallin’ for you) hoo
