We’re always open to suggestions for our songs.  Thanks again to Tyler, John, Kyle and Lisa for the ideas and input last week for “A Waste.”  This week we’re a little more ahead of the curve so we’d love some help.  In order to keep everyone on the same page we decided on a theme or direction for this song.  We’d like the topic to be along the lines of social justice and the moral obligation to help those in need.  Post your ideas / thoughts / suggestions in the comments.  They can be lyrical in nature or more of just general ramblings.

So just to get things rolling… what do you think of when you think of injustice?

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

This is our first GRAMMY NOMINATED song.  We also didn’t write it, which is too bad, because it’d be pretty cool to have a grammy this quickly into our latest musical endeavor.  That’s right folks, its our first cover song, unless you count Christmas, which we don’t.  This song was originally by a band called One Republic, and then redone by a band called One Republic and Timbaland and now redone by two seconds away.  Let us know what you think!  Now that we’ve got newmusicmonday.com setup in a blog format it makes commenting way cooler and easier… and we love our comments.
