Last night’s episode of Moonlight (see my last post) included a song that I just had to search out and get somehow. A bit of Googling later, I found out that the song is “All Fall Down” by a new band called “One Republic” and is included on their debut CD “Dreaming Out Loud.”

I just loved the sound from the start - acoustic guitar and cello to begin with, but then the lyrics started:

Step out the door and it feels like rain
That’s the sound (that’s the sound) on your window pane
Take to the streets but you can’t ignore
That’s the sound (that’s the sound) you’re waiting for

And then the lyrics that caught me and wouldn’t let go:

You feel that your world starts crashing down
Whenever you’re world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That’s when you find me.

Then the drums, violins, and bass guitar came in and I liked it even more!

More lyrics and now harmony:

Yeah God love your soul and your aching bones
Take a breath, take a step, maybe down below
Everyone’s the same, our fingers to our toes
We just can’t get a ride, but we’re on the road

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That’s when you find me.

(Yeah) Lost till you’re found
Swim till you drown

Know that we all fall down
Love till you hate
Jump till you break
Know that we all fall down

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That’s when you find me.

Lost till you’re found
Swim till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love till you hate
Jump till you break
Know that we all fall down

All fall down, we all fall down, all fall down
We all fall down, all fall down, all fall down

Lost till you’re found
Swim till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love till you hate
Jump till you break
Know that we all fall down

I’m off to go buy the CD at Best Buy for $9.99 on sale. I may be rather cash poor at this moment, but this is just too good to pass up !

Have a great day :thumb: !
