Songfacts®:

  • Speaking to Hails and Horns magazine, frontwoman and lyricist Cristina Scabbia explained why she's especially drawn to this song about heartbreak. "I feel really attached to a song called 'Falling' 'cause it's a very personal one with a decadent mood. It's related to the feelings you can have after a break up or in a bad moment of your life. It's an easy song to relate to 'cause I am absolutely sure everyone felt like that at least once in a lifetime."

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganThe original version from the s/t EP is just Cristina w/clean guitars backing her up. A reprised version of the song was released on LC's first proper album, "In A Reverie" (1999) under the title, "Falling Again", and includes the whole band playing instruments on it.
