This song came out my own frustration with being so easily swayed in what I believe.  The ebb and flow of my beliefs and passions is dizzying at times.  Listening to this song again today, it seems that the verses illustrate this ebb and flow with the reversed guitar and keys and slightly chaotic clicks and taps mixed with peaceful acoustic guitar and bells.

The chorus is a longing for peace, certainty, serenity, and direction.

The song started out with random mumblings and then I went back and wrote the lyrics using a mixture of my thoughts and Tim’s journal entries.  AND WE BOTH AGREE, that this is one of our favorites!

“Fall” Lyrics by Patrick Largen with some contributions from Tim Seley

I can go from believing
that you have my heart
all the way to believing
that you’re deaf and far

It is all in the mystery
or fear of the unknown
That has me disbelieving
cold and alone

would you fall

it’s the act of believing
that sets me apart
But I have to believe in
you that has my heart

would you fall

I don’t want to settle I don’t mean to settle
I don’t want to settle I don’t
for a god who isn’t I don’t mean to settle I don’t want to settle I don’t

I wrote this song when Patrick and I were out at the Stone Barn last go around. We’d been rehearsing all day and I was just struck by how incredibly blessed I was to have a wife that was supportive of my ridiculous life.

I’ve got a wonderful wife, and sometimes it doesn’t seem fair that someone as special as her ended up with somebody like me. And I hope when you are married you’ll be able to experience the same thing.

“How Can it Be”
lyrics by Tim Seley

How can it be
That someone like you
Is stuck with me
How can this be

The chance that I
Would find a prize
Like you is a joke
A million to one

Diamonds are a dime a dozen
I’ve only found one of you
One of you

How can it be
That someone like you
Is stuck with me
How can it be
