Recently being announced as a BBC Introducing Hereford & Worcester Featured Artist, just six months into their story as a band, and having received radio airplay across multiple stations, Falling into View are delighted to be able to bring you their next single. 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 are very proud to release their third single “Things (that I thought might one day be useful)”.
As with their previous singles, “Things” (due for release on 24th October) has already received BBC Introducing airplay and is a crowd favourite at their live shows, often stopping people in their tracks and silencing the room as Lyss and Allan perform this song in a stripped back way. Written and composed by prolific songwriter Allan, this track came together in just thirty minutes whilst Allan 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!
He goes on to write that everyone has that drawer or cupboard shelf full of precious, sentimental things gathered across the years and it is often lovely to rediscover them and occasionally, just occasionally, they may one day be useful!
Allan states: “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.”
Once again recorded at Magic Garden Studios in the West Midlands and produced by multi-platinum and BMA award winner Gavin Monaghan, this song will appeal to lovers of Americana, Country and Pop. Receiving fantastic reviews across their early live shows, Falling into View blend the best of Country and Americana with an unashamed nod to Pop, delivering a sound that will resonate with fans of multiple artists and genres.
Quotes from recent reviews of the first single “What is it like to Lose?”:
“Falling into View nail the Country-Pop sweetspot”
“Let’s get straight to it, Alyssa is the wildcard. Her vocals are the kind that stop you in your tracks”
“Falling into View arrive fully formed, blending classic sounds with a fresh edge and fronted by a vocalist who truly stands apart”
Quotes from recent reviews of the second single “On with the Show”:
“Longtime fans will know Alyssa as the voice that can stop you mid-conversation soulful, sweet, but full of grit when it needs to be”
“The sound they’re crafting feels far bigger than their roots. With On With the Show, they’ve proven they can produce tracks that hold their own against national and even international peers”
“There’s no ceiling here. Falling into View have tapped into something that resonates beyond genre boundaries”
“They are very good at transforming such profound meaning into songs and turning those emotions into anthems”
Singer Alyssa has previously made waves as a BBC Introducing featured artist. Allan, the band’s chief songwriter, carries the torch as its most seasoned musician, having also played alongside drummer Gordon in previous band The Idle Quiet. After that band’s chapter closed, Gordon suggested Alyssa take the microphone for a new project, bringing ex work colleague, and long-term friend, Rob on board to play bass. Lead guitarist and former bandmate of Rob, Bernie joined soon after, completing a lineup that came together as if it were meant to be, with everything “Falling into View” nicely!
With a rich mix of influences and an undeniable chemistry and an ability to not take itself too seriously, Falling into View is ready to make its mark—one song at a time.
