about

"Let me fall if I must fall. The one I will become will catch me."

"If I Fall" was inspired by this Baal Shem Tov quote. Just think of all the becoming that is happening in the world right now. It feels like falling (it is falling) but while we’re falling we’re also becoming. I’m putting my faith in that for now.

This is the 3rd single off my upcoming EP, "A Hundred Little Lives."

lyrics

I wake up in a room
That I forgot was mine
I stumble to a car I never learned to drive
And it's a busy bargain
For the hours in a day
I've got nothing here but time
And I'm giving it away

If I fall I will catch myself
I've been living like someone else
If you want you can follow me
But I don't belong where I don't believe

There's a piece of glass
That shows me what I am
There are little light up boxes
Filled with other people's plans
And as I fall asleep
I see the place I came from
There's an ocean between me
And the person that I once was

If I fall I will catch myself
I've been living like someone else
If you want you can follow me
But I don't belong where I don't believe

It's not a matter of preparedness
I try not to take things for granted
And oh my god have I thought it through

If I fall I will catch myself
I've been living like someone else
And if you want you can follow me
But I don't belong
I don't belong where I don't believe

New music Friday! Sang to us every morning for 50 days. Played live every Thursday for I don't know how long. Long enough for me to finally get a job and be confident in a little splurge. Stunningly talented and takes care of her fans like nobody's business. Waiting patiently for the CD because I'm retro AF. I'm going to assume it's terrific 😃 markvagabond
